- Meet Your CEO and Group: Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Opt to join the group for a local meal afterwards. Don't forget to see the notice in the lobby (or ask reception) for the official time and place to meet up with the group.
- Lisbon Walking Food Tour: Food is a universal language, and there's no better way to get to know a new friend, or a new community, than by breaking bread together and digging in to a delicious meal. Join your fellow Solo-ish travellers to explore the undiscovered side of Lisbon most tourists don’t venture out to see. Still very central, this area of Lisbon is rich in culture and history and hosts some of the best restaurants Lisbon has to offer. Wander up and down the tile-filled streets with us in two local neighbourhoods – Baixa, which translates to “downtown” followed by Mouraria, which is the old Muslim neighbourhood. Explore and really get to know the city through its amazing food and drinks. Get away from the crowds and spend an unforgettable evening of eating, drinking, making new friends, and – above all – having fun!
Head out from Lisbon to the westernmost point on the European continent, Cabo da Roca to kick off a day packed with highlights. Take in the sweeping ocean views and hike up the coast to Praia da Adraga, a picturesque beach and inlet. Transfer to the resort town of Cascais with time for lunch then continue to the district of Belem for an unexpected G surprise to round out the day before returning to Lisbon in the evening.

It's not just an epic day of fun, its chock full of incredible experiences and a surprise G element along the way to take your day to 11. Start the day with a visit to the westernmost point of continental Portugal, as well as of continental Europe. Enjoy a panoramic view over the Serra de Sintra before setting off on foot, following the cliffs on the coastal area, passing by spectacular viewpoints such as Pedra de Alvidrar and Buraco do Fojo, on the southern slope of Praia da Adraga. The route to Adraga follows mainly footpaths and requires suitable footwear and some physical preparation, as the second and third kilometres are quite technical with steep climbs and the overall elevation gain is approximately 450 metres. After the hike, transfer to the laid-back and historic district of Belem on the return to Lisbon.
Set off on a guided walking tour of Lisbon to discover the city with a local guide from a non-profit organization that serves as a social enterprise that gives back to the communities that we visit.
