Guided Tours
Group tours that reveal the invisible side of cities, where plants tell stories, gardens breathe the past, and the gaze softens.
By combining heritage, botany, and art, each walk becomes a way to inhabit the place with greater attention and presence.
Tours last between 1 hour and 45 minutes and 3 hours and 30 minutes, depending on the itinerary chosen, and are always shared group experiences.
The cost of entrance tickets to museums and places visited is not included in the tour price.
Starting at the heart and symbol of Porto, the Clérigo Tower, we'll stroll through breathtaking panoramic views, gardens, and historic neighborhoods, soaking up the tripeiro way of life.
Our steps will take us back to the 19th century and the first Industrial Exhibition in Portugal: the iconic gardens of the Palácio de Cristal.Across the 18 hectares of Serralves, Porto's last remaining Quinta de Recreio, we stroll among lush vegetation interspersed with magnificent architecture. From the geometry of the Art Deco house and the beautiful formal gardens designed by Jacques Gréber to the luminous façade of Siza Vieira's Museum of Modern Art: "a rich and dynamic mosaic" of diverse worlds with enormous biodiversity awaits us.
To connect the natural world outside with Mr. Caloust Gulbenkian's unique art collection, a museum was built amidst a magnificent park designed by Portugal's most renowned landscape architects: Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles—winner of the Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Prize—and António Viana Barreto. From the garden, designed to foster a rich symbiosis between art and nature, where each plant was chosen for a reason, we continued on to the museum.
Art meets nature, nature is art: treasures from Egypt, Turkey, Chinese porcelain, French marquetry, and artists like Monet, Renoir, Rembrandt, Fantin-Latour, Turner, and Rodin... Lalique adds the finishing touch. We visited the museum under the motto "Nature in Art: A Journey Through Time."
Galardoada com o título de uma das mais belas baías do mundo, Setúbal tem uma localização única entre a Serra da Arrábida e o Oceano Atlântico.
A nossa visita começa na Câmara Municipal. Imersos num ambiente de poetas, música e pescadores dedicados, dirigimo-nos a um belo fóssil vivo: as Gingko biloba fazem parte do nosso mundo há já 200 milhões de anos. Muito mais recente, datada do século XVI, espera-nos a Igreja do Convento de Jesus com os seus maravilhosos azulejos e colunas. E depois de visitarmos o melhor mercado de peixe de Portugal, terminamos o nosso passeio onde a vida começou: junto ao rio Sado.
Nas extensas planícies alentejanas, Évora é poesia e “frescos”: belas paredes pintadas, amadas já no tempo em que esta zona era o celeiro de Roma. Foi também a época de verão da Dinastia de Avis, da Universidade e sede do Tribunal da Santa Inquisição... e ainda cenário de uma reforma agrária nos anos 70.
O nosso percurso leva-nos desde os exóticos jardins do Paço de D. Manuel até ao coração de Évora: o templo romano, a fachada da catedral e uma visita ao que foi outrora o castelo: o Páteo de S. Miguel, com fantásticos frescos do século XVI e vistas panorâmicas de cortar a respiração. E se não experimentou o jardim das Casas Pintadas não pode realmente dizer que conhece Évora.
Companies in Action
Each company is a world within the world. Made of people, for people. Investing in Aliveness means committing to a more sustainable, fair, and harmonious future.
At Aliveness, we know little about business, but we know the essentials: happy workers produce more. Our group workshops, lasting about two hours, can take place in your space, in a garden, or another location you can arrange. They're journeys of discovery to stop, listen, laugh, and spark curiosity.
During a coffee break, we combine a spoonful of history, 250g of nature, a pinch of art, a teaspoon of philosophy, and a batch of humor and good cheer. We create moments of sharing that strengthen bonds and inspire new ways of working together.
Just a warning: participating involves the risk of awakening attention to the beauty of the world and the desire to defend it.
Seeds of the Future
Investing in children is investing in the future. With Aliveness' educational activities, schools and municipalities can offer experiences co-financed with the support of companies that believe in a more sustainable and fair future.
In the schoolyard or on a walk to the nearest garden, we invite students to stop and feel, to listen to the wind, the silence, and the birdsong. Between games and unlikely questions: What is a tree? How many hearts does an earthworm have? Why does a snail carry its house on its back? We spark curiosity and wonder.
These are moments of discovery that connect science, imagination, and affection. Because learning to observe nature also means learning to care for it and for ourselves.
With little feet of wool, we build memories: because none of this is ours and everything belongs to us.
