Badger Tours / Rent a Car em Sesimbra

Highly recommend Badger Tour services! Our group was in Sesimbra for a week to support some American expat families. Our team did the programming for the children and we had planned for two field trips with middle and highschool aged kids. Due to closures and weather everything we had preplanned for both trips was not doable. Enter Francisco and Badger Tours! Francisco offered several options to rescue us. His options were far superior to anything we had pre-planned. He arranged for the kids to visit a tile-making establishment, Azulejos de Azeitão, https://www.azulejosdeazeitao.com/ where kids learned about the process and painted their own tiles which were later baked and Badger Tours brought to our hotel for the kids! Also in the outing, he arranged for us to visit Setubal as well as visit a Santa Margarida cave in Arrabida. During our trip back to the hotel and Sesimbra Castle he stopped at several beautiful vistas to explain to the kids what they were seeing in the distance. Things like the longest beach in Europe, or an old convent, or the view of the town. Every adult and child on the tour had an excellent experience. Francisco, Ines, and Leonard were excellent drivers and hosts for all of the adults and children (a group of 21) during the outing. Our second preplanned field trip with kids to Lisbon was met with bad weather. Again, Francisco had incredible options for us that were inside from the rain. The kids enjoyed a tasty snack at Pastéis de Belém, https://pasteisdebelem.pt/, visited the Museu de Marinha, https://cultura.marinha.pt/en/museu , viewed the exhibits in the Lisbon Aquarium https://cultura.marinha.pt/en/aquariovgama/aquario and enjoyed a cable car ride view of part of the harbors of Lisbon. Again Francisco’s plans were far superior to what we had originally considered. In between the field trips with students, our adult team also took a day trip to Lisbon and the Badger Tours team. We were treated to visiting multiple historic sites and Francisco provided information at every place we stopped along the way. Sadly we had to leave Portugal, Lisbon, and beautiful Sesimbra behind as Badger Tours drove us to the airport. By the end of our time, we had come to feel like Badger Tours were old family friends who were hosting us on a visit and sharing with us their beautiful history, culture, and landscape. We shared stories of family and grandkids, stories of fishing with our fathers, and discussions about those things that bring us all joy in life. If you find yourself in Sesimbra, walk down April 25 Avenue and stop in the shop for BadgerTours to book a trip, rent a bike, or just meet some great Portuguese friends.

This local car rental is a gem! They’re flexible and accommodating—adjusting to your needs with ease and care (unlike most big companies I've experienced in the past). My Fiat Panda was in great condition, and the entire process was smooth, quick, and hassle-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking for personalized, customer-focused service. 🚗✨

I communicated with the company that I was interested in renting a scooter and asked for a scooter that was greater than 50cc. They did not communicate that I needed a motorcycle license for the scooter. I was disappointed when I arrived and they said I needed a license. It would’ve been appreciated if they stated that through the messages or have it posted somewhere on their website.

Incredible service! Totally made our rental easy and went out of his way to accommodate our needs. We ended up using his business to provide us with car rentals, airport transfers and tours. Will be using again.

Out of the blue I decided I wanted to rent a scooter, I saw the open office and talked with Francisco. Good price rate and I could go right away. Amazing good 125cc scooter. Had an great afternoon enjoying the Sesimbra area! I definitely come back renting a scooter whenever I'm in Sesimbra. I recommend for sure 👍

Badger Tours provided the best transportation and tour services we received in our 7 yrs of visiting Portugal. Although headquartered in the beautiful seaside town of Sesimbra, Badger Tours provided transportation to and from Lisbon Airport and allowed us to skip the typical tours and choose visits to the vintage wineries in the region. We visited and tasted wines from 14 wineries. Bought 40 bottles of wines and spirits. Shared meals in the quaintest of restaurants. Francisco treated us like family and old friends. Can't wait for our adventure next year. Badger Tours is by far the best of the best!

Francisco is a superstar. Amazing service, kind and ever helpful. From large taxis to restaurant bookings nothing is too much work for Francisco. With one of our party injuring their leg whilst away, he booked us sun beds, got us assistance onto the beach, he made our holiday a joy from start to finish. His sister in law also runs the best restaurant in Sesimbra, Portofino which he is always able to secure a table at. A wonderful company and a wonderful human being!
