Private Tour by van: Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos
Description
Your private tour begins at the Shrine of Fatima. A place of pilgrimage and Catholic worship. It was built to commemorate the appearance of Our Lady of Fatima to the three little shepherds in 1917. The construction began with the Chapel of the Apparitions, but currently it has two other basilicas due to the need to increase the reception area. Near lunch time we will go to Nazaré, an old fishing village, today known as the place where the biggest wave in the world, about 30 meters high, was surfed. Even for those who are not big fans of surfing, Nazaré has its charms with fish drying in the sun and varinas (fisherwomen) selling to passing tourists. The tour ends in Óbidos, an enchanted medieval village with castle walls, narrow streets and white houses! If you are feeling adventurous, we can always take a walk on the castle walls!

This trip perfectly combined spirituality, natural beauty and history, offering a diverse and memorable experience. Starting in Fatima, the imposing sanctuary and the serene atmosphere provided a moment of reflection and peace. The grandness of the place and the religious importance were deeply impactful. From Fatima, the journey continued to Nazareth, where the dramatic beauty of the coast and the imposition of the Atlantic Ocean stole attention. The panoramic view from the cliffs is simply stunning, and the descent to the beach, with its colorful houses and the quiet pace of local life, was charming. The freshness of the air and the sound of the waves provided a relaxing contrast after the experience in Fatima. Finally, Óbidos enchanted with his medieval charm. The narrow and winding streets, the white houses of traditional architecture, and the wall that embraces the city have created a unique and romantic atmosphere. The taste of Ginjinha, the famous licorosa cherry, was a delicious and authentic touch that crowned the visit.
This was my first trip to Portugal and I was left stunned by the beautiful sights and exquisite craftsmanship displayed. My tour guide Vitor had a deep knowledge of the history of the sites we visited and a keen sense of humor. I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of my visit to Portugal.

The entire tour was amazing and Joana was the best of tour guides. She was flexible, knowledgeable and patient with us when we were enjoying an activity. Door to door service was helpful in the big city of Lisbon and she was prompt when picking us up. We laughed a lot together and it was so easy to be together all day. We appreciate the personal service and attention we got. Thank you for a wonderful day!
