Thanks to Thomas for this great tour in French. He explains the history of Nazaré to us with its legends. The visits are well chosen and we have time to discover the places. I recommend it.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour et pour votre recommandation ! 😊 Ce fut un réel plaisir de vous faire découvrir Nazaré et de partager avec vous son histoire, ses légendes et ses plus beaux points de vue. Je suis ravi que vous ayez apprécié le rythme de la visite ainsi que les lieux que nous avons découverts ensemble. Je vous souhaite une excellente continuation et un très beau séjour au Portugal ! Bien cordialement, Thomas
Great tour! I booked this tour because I was only passing through the city for a few hours and wanted to learn about Nazare. The tour guide, Thomas, was very kind and stored by backpacks in his secure office space during the tour and filled my water! He was very knowledgeable and showed me all around town including streets only locals would travel through. He answered many good questions and gave great recommendations for my other travels in Portugal!
Thank you so much, Jade, for your wonderful review! 😊 It was a real pleasure meeting you and showing you around Nazaré during your short stop before heading to Lisbon. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed discovering not only the main highlights but also some of the hidden streets and local stories that make Nazaré so unique. Thank you as well for your kind words about the backpack storage and the recommendations. I always try to make the experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I hope the rest of your trip around Portugal went wonderfully, and I wish you all the best for the rest of your road trip! Kind regards, Thomas
Small committee activity it is very appreciable, very interesting, exciting, rewarding, etc thanks to the organizer, it is great, very available, passionate, I lack qualifications to describe this activity. I am a frequent traveler, however, this is the 1st time that an activity is beyond my expectations, from the care, to the discovery as well as the snack offered by the organizer at the end of the activity, it is just A MUST. I recommend this activity if you are in Nazaré for holidays or other. Value for money is very affordable!!
Great day our guide Tom explained everything in detail and was happy to answer any questions big and small. Had great lunch with a local restaurant that was amazing.
The guide knew his way around Nazare and relates very well with foreign guests. The value is excellent as he paid for food and all the extras. It was as if a good friend was taking me out to show me Nazare!
