Peniche, Nazaré (big waves), Batalha monestary tour and Óbidos

We had an amazing tour with Andre. He was truly one of the best tour guides we have ever had and by the end of the day we felt like family! As soon as we got into his vehicle, he took down the headrest on the passenger side so we could see better. We have been on a LOT of private tours and have NEVER seen that done before. Secondly, he immediately shared his plans with us for the day and was willing to tweak anything if we wanted. His English, also, was beyond good. We were so impressed at his understanding of America and American culture. Lastly, he is a great teacher. He shares information in a fun way that is engaging and helps you remember. We will recommend him to all of our friends and we will absolutely be using him again! You should, too. You can thank me later! He Is the best!

Obidos Monestary, is a real Wonder!! It is extremely big. It’s amazing to think how such a building could have been built hundreds of years ago. The area around it is very pretty. With cafes and restaurants. I have visited the monestary before. And if l am in the area again, l will visit again. I am in genuine Awe of the Monestary. A must see!!

A perfect way to see the beautiful coastline and charming villages of Peniche, Nazare’ and Obidos. Our guide, Andre’ was very professional, accommodating and knowledgeable about Portugal and the villages.

The highlight of my trip to Portugal was the tour with Andre! I visited Fatima (a spectacular and singularly spiritual experience like no other), Obidos, Nazaré, the annual Chocolate Fair, savored the rich flavors of Portugal at a wonderful out-of-the-way restaurant, absorbed the local history of each, and was left wanting more after the tour was completed. Through it all, Andre was professional and so knowledgeable. His itinerary was perfectly timed and my friends and I had sufficient time to explore, ask questions, and immerse ourselves in the richness of each location that we visited. If you take this tour, you will get to experience as much of Portugal locals as you possibly can within an 8 hour period and you’ll not be disappointed, especially if Andre is your tour guide! Having been on many guided tours, I can say without any reservation, that this was the best and Andre was outstanding! I highly recommend Andre and this tour!

Leave the crowds behind and soak up the charming villages of Nazare and Peniche. Andre, our tour guide shared his love for this part of Portugal and we enjoyed every minute. We mentioned how much we liked the portuguese tiles, and he took us to a place to purchase handmade ones-- even introduced us to the artist. Andre's suggestion for lunch in Peniche, turned out to be one of our favorite meals of the entire trip. I have MS and walk with a cane, so I cannot thank Andre enough for his thoughtful consideration in how he helped us to manage those challenges and adjusted our pace, so that I could enjoy the same activities as my companions. Best tour of our trip, and best guide ever.
