Great day out! - To say weather had been a problem in Lisboa for our vacation meant our hopes for this trip were even higher. We were not disappointed! In fact Jaio, our guide, added so much insight that the day passed too quickly. Tomar castle was a really interesting place to visit - and inside while it rained! Nazaré was not spoiled by too many tourists (yes, we’re tourists of course). Lunch was superb and the views from the Place of Nazaré amazing. The winds made for wild waves, but well short of the monster waves. And while it rained during lunch it was sunny for the photo opps. Obidos, the last stop, was definitely a UNESCO treasure. A wander along the streets and then along the castle walls felt a touch magical. Or maybe that was the Ginja sampling at Luis’ family shop. (Yes, sample the Ginja and be prepared to buy a bottle - you will not regret!) A day that was worth every Dollar/Euro/….

We had a wonderful tour... - We had a wonderful tour with Joan. He is very personable, speaks perfect English and was very knowledgeable, giving us a lot of the history of Portugal and the areass we visited. We opted to see Fatima rather than the knights of templar castle and were very happy we did so. Nazare was amazing even without the giant waves and the restaurant Joao chose was excellent. We loved every minute and highly recommend this tour. Be sure to request Joao as your guide.

Captivating Tomar and Obidos with local Guide - What a fabulous day! Everything was excellent about this private tour for our family of five. João provided personalized attention and care for our needs, accommodating our desire to stay a bit longer in Tomar and Obidos. Both of these sites were a must see! We learned so much about the history of Portugal from his thorough and insightful details. We especially appreciated the opportunity to leisurely lunch in a local setting and sample the original ginja licor recipe.

Great day with Gui - We went with Gui, who was kind and thoughtful and told great stories about the places we visited. The tour is a full day but not rushed and we had plenty of time to explore the places. It was great!

Great time with Gui! - We had a fantastic time with Gui. He gave us a wonderful and informative tour of Templar’s castle, took to an amazing traditional restaurant in Nazare and then walked to see some great waves and surfing. We than went to Obidos and walked the castle wall and went to a few shops. Overall great day and we did not feel rushed. Highly suggest walking the castle wall in Obidos if you’re able!

A Fantastic Day! - A spectacular day filled with historic and beautiful sites. 3 totally different experiences that are not to be missed when visiting Portugal. Having Joao, who is such a knowledgeable and engaging guide, made all of the difference. The Templar castle exposes you to 500 years of history recorded in the architecture of a single structure. Even if you miss the BIG waves at Nazare, it is worth seeing and learning about the phenomenon that enables the waves to occur. Obidos in addition to its history has delightful examples of local and traditional artisan works.
