• 5Best tour guide ever!

  Our guide, Francisco, made this trip wonderful! From the second we met Francisco, we felt we were in good hands. He arrived on time, met us right in front of our hotel. Francisco explained what our day was going to look like, and made sure this is what we wanted to do. He kept us engaged and happy through out the whole day. We can honestly say Francisco is the best tour guide we have ever had. You will NOT be disappointed. 😁

• 5Leisure tour with Francisco

  He was punctual, highly focused on our comfort and safety, knowledgeable about the history and culture of Portugal, and flexible. He had badge access to parking at tourist attractions which meant we didn’t have to go through lines, crowds and walk too much. He also asked us about our restaurant needs and inquired with the restaurant in advance to ensure it met our dietary needs which was helpful and convenient. He was a very smooth and safe driver which made the long drives comfortable. We had a great experience and would highly recommend him.

• 5Amazing experience with Francisco

  We spent whole day with our guide Francisco visiting wonderful towns Nazare and Obidos and had such an amazing experience thanks to him. Francisco happend to be a great knowledgeable, funny and highly professional guide. His short stories about those places are very interesting. He had answers for all our questions we asked him. His English is absolutely understandable and not primitive. He managed to drive us strait to light house, so we avoid long walk up and down on steep road. Francisco advised us a great restaurant and made reservation for us. Overall we left very satisfied and pleased to Francisco for this amazing trip.

• 5Great Tours

  We took 2 day trips from Lisbon with Francisco: one to Nazare/Obidos and one to Sintra. Both were great, especially Nazare where he had authorization to drive us right to the lighthouse. Francisco was the ideal guide: punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and flexible. There was no language difficulties as his English was more than adequate. On several occasions he also served as our interpreter as our Portuguese was extremely limited. Francisco made dining recommendations (which proved to be great) and also reservations for dining and different attractions while touring so we were expected when we arrived. The van we toured in was very comfortable, but some sort of PA system would help back seaters hear. But most of all Franciso was a pleasure to be with. He described what we were seeing but not in a nonstop manner. He answered any questions we had, but also allowed a little quiet time for us to talk to each other or just enjoy the view. He has a good sense of humor and we enjoyed joking with him. IF YOU NEED A TOUR GUIDE IN THE LISBON AREA, FRANCISCO IS YOUR GUY.

• 5Can't go wrong booking this tour

  Our tour to Nazare/Obidos with Francisco was great. I chose this tour based on previous tour goers' very positive reviews and was not disappointed. We especially appreciated being able to schedule the pick up point right by our AirBnB. Francisco is a very warm, friendly guide who is quite knowledgeable in Portugal's history. Besides providing tons of history on the sites we visited, he also offered many suggestions/recommendations about other sites of interest, restaurants and neighborhoods to visit during our stay in Lisbon. I would certainly recommend booking with Francisco. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

About Nazaré

Nazaré is a fishing town on Portugal's Atlantic coast, with a wide beach, a clifftop quarter and some of the biggest waves in the world in winter.

Nazaré lies on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, north of Lisbon, where a wide beach curves beneath a high cliff. Traditionally, fishermen's wives wore seven layered skirts and dried fish in the sun on racks along the sand, and the town keeps some of those customs alive. The upper quarter, called Sítio, is reached by a funicular and gives a long view over the beach, the harbour and the Atlantic.
