Itinerary
Get comfortable in an air-conditioned vehicle as you start your journey toward the town of Fátima, a once-sleepy rural village that became an important pilgrimage site when three shepherd children reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1917. Visit the Sanctuary of Fatima, a basilica that honors the apparition and attracts millions of Catholic pilgrims every year who go to pay their respects to the shrine
Next, visit the 14th-century Batalha Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that illustrates the rich artistic heritage of the late 1300s. Discover the impressive royal burial site at the basilica’s Founder’s Chapel, where King João I, Queen Philippa of Lancaster and their son Prince Henry the Navigator were buried. Note that we only visit the main church area, which is free of charge. To visit the whole structure (which we don't have much time), cloisters included, an additional charge is required (to be paid by the client directly to the local ticket office). NOT INCLUDED IF YOU CHOOSE THE FÁTIMA PILGRIMAGE & ÓBIDOS OPTION
A stop to enjoy the old town of Nazaré, site of miracles, visions and one of the best views of the Portuguese coastline. NOT INCLUDED IF YOU CHOOSE THE FÁTIMA PILGRIMAGE & ÓBIDOS OPTION
Take a short break for lunch (own expense) in Nazaré, a quaint fishing town famous for its variety of restaurants and cafes. A popular summer retreat for the Portuguese, the village offers an interesting insight into local life. Short stop at the Nazaré cliffs to see the ocean views. NOT INCLUDED IF YOU CHOOSE THE FÁTIMA PILGRIMAGE & ÓBIDOS OPTION
Finally, make your way to the medieval village of Óbidos. Founded in 208 BC, Óbidos is commonly known in Portugal as the 'wedding present town', as it was a gift from King Dinis to Queen Isabel on their wedding day in 1282. Follow your guide to one of the numerous wine shops and sample the Ginja liqueur, and then enjoy free time to explore the village’s medieval fortress, narrow streets, colorful houses and Gothic doorways and windows decorated with flowerpots and dazzling tiles. Grab a snack or browse around the tiny shops that offer a varied collection of beautiful handmade ceramic art before making your way back to Lisbon.

5Outstanding Tour
Outstanding narration. Very sincere guide. Loved the tour. The minivan was convenient and our guide explained every question with a lot of patience.
5It’s a must ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our guide Yaan brought Nazaré and Óbidos to life! From navigating the cobblestone alleys and medieval walls of Óbidos (complete with a Ginjinha toast in a chocolate cup) to standing atop the Sítio cliffs in Nazaré taking in the huge ocean views, every detail was handled seamlessly. They struck the perfect balance of fascinating local history, authentic culture, and great vantage points without ever feeling rushed. Energetic, deeply knowledgeable, and wonderfully welcoming—couldn't have asked for a better day trip!
4Excellent Tour
Goncalo and Sergio were quite a team! They were, professional, friendly and entertaining. They were knowledgeable about each location and shared the history of each site. I would highly recommend this tour and these tour guides. I also ran into Nuno who was a tour guide from years past. Wonderful man. Recommend this company without hesitation. A+
5Fun day away from Lisbon
Tour was well organized. Didn’t have a lot of time at each location but it was great overview. Our tour guide was fabulous Knowledgeable and very accommodating. He adjusted everything on a fly. Would recommend it.
5History, humour and a great guide!
Every stop on this tour was wonderful! Our guide Sergio was hilarious, informative and he made all the members of our group feel comfortable. The Batalha Monastery was a highlight and the details we got about the construction and history really helped us to appreciate it even more. If you’re not afraid of heights, I really recommend climbing the walls at Óbidos - the view is spectacular!
2Bad start to the day!
The trip started out horrible. We were told to be at meeting point at 8:15 am. We were there by 7:45. Waiting. All tours came and left by 8:15, except two couples us and another. I asked and was told our guide got sick so the tour was cancelled. We got a message??? Our txt literally came at 8:15! Had we not complained, they'd have left us there... however, they scrambled and got us on another's tour. The tour was great, the customer service for the tour company was awful.

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
