Portugal’s religious capital attracts millions of pilgrims every year, due to its mystical power and atmosphere. It can hold about 300 thousand faithful followers at the same time and is twice the size of Saint Peter’s Square in Vatican City.
Fátima Shrine The Shrine of our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima is a place of pilgrimage, which celebrates the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima to the three little shepherds: Lúcia de Jesus, Francisco and Jacinta Marto. At the Shrine you can visit the Chapel of Apparitions and the Church of ‘Santíssima Trindade’.
This exceptional architectural ensemble is the result of the fulfillment of a promise made by King João I of Portugal in gratitude for the victory in Aljubarrota, a battle fought on August 14th, 1385, which secured the throne and guaranteed the independence of Portugal. It is one of the most beautiful works of Gothic and Manueline architecture. Nowadays, Batalha Monastery is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Monastery of Santa Maria de Alcobaça World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The works of this 12th-century monument begun in 1178 and lasted for 100 years, through various stages of construction. The Monastery of Alcobaça is known for its impressive gothic architecture and greatest love story in the history of Portugal – the tragic passion of D. Pedro and D. Inês de Castro.
Located at the coast of central Portugal, land of legends and traditions, sea and fishing, simple and friendly people, Nazaré still has the authenticity that inspired writers and dazzled artists. Portugal’s most famous fishing village, Nazaré also has beaches with great spots for surf, bodyboard, Tow-In and SUP lovers. In 2011 Garrett McNamara broke the world record for the largest surfed wave (30 meters) at ‘Canhão da Nazaré’.
A beautiful medieval town, famous for its landscape and history and also for the typical liquor of ‘Ginja’. Here you can stroll through the narrow streets, visit the castle, taste Ginja liquor, and artistic chocolates, enjoy the flowered balconies, the sidewalks covered in Portuguese pavement, and the architecture of the houses. Óbidos is the ideal destination for a romantic walk. With a rich historical tradition, Óbidos is one of the most beautiful jewels of the country

Great tour. We gained a lot of knowledge about Portuguese history. We were able to do a lot in a one day. Our guide, Rodrigo, was excellent. He was funny, as well as being knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to do another tour with him.

Rodrigo was an amazing tour guide and went out of his way to show us some of the best sights in Portugal! We always felt safe and secure and cared for. We would highly recommend taking any of his tours.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure to show you around Portugal. I’m very happy to hear you felt comfortable, safe and well taken care of — that’s always my priority. Thank you as well for your recommendation, it really means a lot. I hope to welcome you back again in the future! All the best, Rodrigo
I cannot say enough good things about this tour, and especially our tour guide, Rodrigo. He was kind, thorough, informative, friendly - maybe the best guide we've ever had (and we are pretty well-traveled). He made a special stop to buy me a notebook when he saw that I had lost mine. What a guy! The tour was a little hampered by rain in Fatima, but Rodrigo made the best of things, standing with us in the downpour, taking shot after shot. In fact, throughout the trip, he took 83 pix for us - more than we took ourselves. The buffet we stopped at for lunch was spectacular. Seriously, if you're looking for a great tour, this is the one.
Rodrigio was simply awesome - we could not have had anyone better to spend the day with. Very easy-going and knowledgeable! He knows the ins and outs - for example where to park, and where the nicest seater closets are located. The vehicle was very clean, and he’s a very safe driver.
