It was a very beautiful experience. Our guide gave us tips where and the best ways to explore. Very nice explanation of some of the high points of the places. Highly recommended.

Itinerary
Stand at the heart of one of the world’s most sacred pilgrimage destinations — the Chapel of the Apparitions, marking the exact site where the Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in 1917. Experience the calm and devotion that fill this remarkable place, where faith and history intertwine, and take a moment to reflect in its peaceful, spiritual atmosphere.
Explore the Sanctuary of Fátima, a place of profound devotion and one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the world. Step inside the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, where faith and history meet, and hear the moving story of the Virgin Mary’s apparitions to the shepherd children — Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta — in 1917. Embrace the tranquility and spiritual energy that continue to make Fátima a timeless symbol of hope and inspiration.
Learn about Portugal’s royal past from the Batalha Monastery, a majestic UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the country’s greatest Gothic masterpieces. Built in the 14th century to celebrate Portugal’s victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota, this monumental complex stands as a symbol of faith, artistry, and national pride. Admire the exquisite stone carvings of the Founder’s Chapel, where King João I, Queen Philippa of Lancaster, and their son, Prince Henry the Navigator, rest beneath intricately sculpted tombs.
We continue to Sítio da Nazaré, perched dramatically atop a cliff offering stunning panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean. This is also the site of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré and the iconic Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo, near the world-famous surfing hotspot where record-breaking waves draw adventurers from around the globe. A perfect photo stop and a chance to connect with both spiritual legend and natural spectacle.
Descend to the seaside village of Nazaré, where tradition and beachside charm meet. Stroll the picturesque promenade, watch the colorful fishing boats, and feel the Atlantic breeze. Guests can relax at a café, dip their toes in the ocean, or enjoy a fresh seafood lunch (optional, not included). Nazaré’s unique blend of culture and coastal life makes it a highlight of any trip.
Conclude your journey in the enchanting medieval village of Óbidos, one of Portugal’s most beautifully preserved towns. Encircled by ancient stone walls, Óbidos is a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses adorned with bright flowers, and charming artisan boutiques. Once gifted to Queen Isabel in the 13th century, the town earned the title of the “Wedding Gift Village.” As you wander through its picturesque alleys, discover cozy bookstores, chocolate shops, and the lively spirit that fills the village during its many festivals. To end your visit, savor a tasting of the traditional Ginjinha liqueur, enjoyed in a beloved local shop that has been perfecting this sweet cherry recipe for generations — a delicious finale to a day of discovery.

It was an amazing tour, glad we book this short trip and see the the countryside. Spectacular country Portugal is. And our guide Xavier was excellent very informative.
Very good tour. Our guide Alex was superb and very informative. Would definitely recommend this tour with Alex. Fun day!!!
Bruno is was a good tour guide and kept us all engaged with his stories. Be sure to clarify your expected return time!
They changed our 8 people tour to 42 people, didnt notify us the day before . But waited till we met up to tell us that they had problems and couldnt accomodate a small tour that we paid for. Assured us that all the times were the same, and as i thought as soon as i got on the bus were told to not complain or cancel and that the times were shorter because of the amount of people!! I contacted the tour operator and told him he should of told us the the day before that way i would of booked another tour company!!! The whole reason for that becasue with larger groups you end up waiting for people, more bathriom waits etc. The guide failed to tell us about a finicular but of course took the time to take us to buy bread and cookies from there partners. The tour was not at all what i expected, didnt see any interesting facts or items nothing informed about what to look out for, except for what was already on the itenaray. Very disapointed! Overall id give the tour a 2 and the tour operator a 0 if i could.
Alex was a great guide. He is very friendly and helpful. The perfect amount of time in each place to enjoy.
Day trip from Lisbon to Fatima, Nazare and Obidos was wonderful. Mike, our tour guide was knowledgeable and at the same time funny. Our driver was on time and drove safely.
We had a wonderful trip to Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos! The highlight was definitely the spectacular waves at Nazaré — such an amazing and unforgettable experience! A special thanks to our guide, Maria, who was friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent driver. She made the whole journey comfortable, enjoyable and well organised. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Portugal! Thank you, Maria, for a memorable day! 😊
Paulo was an excellent guide, knowledgeable about the history of Portugal as well as tips on the specific places we visited. This is a great tour to explore areas outside of Lisbon without renting a car.
Day tour to Fatima, Nazare and Obidos was very well organized, Pedro was excellent guide, He talked about Portugal history and also life today. He is very pleasant and broad minded person.
Overall it was a great da. However, the driving was a bit long. The roads were quite bumpy in towns and traffic was heavy. Perhaps using a van with better suspension and automatic gears would make the trip more pleasurable for the passengers. Some passengers were feeling nauseous. Otherwise it was a great trip!
Our tour guide was alex.very informative funny and kept us safe.great time in Nazarene great lunch.tour around obvious samples of ginginha. Walked around Fatima was historical.
Started off on a very negative note, got up at 6am to get ready and walk the mile to the meeting point. When we arrived I was notified that our tour was canceled ! The manager did call me at that point as I was so upset. He was cordial and very apologetic and offered another tour the following day , we reluctantly agreed, and are so glad that we did. We ended up with the best tour guide ever and my negative attitude was diminished quickly. Pedro was a literal rockstar and made the trip a truly fabulous one! Every site we visited was spectacular and his energy kept the whole group so upbeat! The religious atmosphere at Fatima, the beauty of Nazare and walking the walls at Obidos were all amazing. I will not forget my experience for many years to come! Thank you Pedro for turning everything into a positive, my sister and I will not forget you and your positive energy!
Worth the money. Amazing sites. Full of history. We traveled in early Sept. wear sunscreen and a hat. Not to many places with shade. Bring plenty of water.
We rearlly enjoy our tour with Mike and Alex today . Both are funny and full of knowledge about history of those places vi visited. I can recommend 100% this tour to others.
It is a wonderful experience. We were able to experience a great time. Our tour guide picked a great time and we had no crowds. He seemed very experienced.
It was great! The guide, Chevier (spelling?) was very knowledgeable and kind. Would definitely recommend , it’s worth the money.
Love the history Live the towns great day trip. Only improvement the tour guide should take us around each town, then give us free time. That way not wasting time to figure the history on our own. Lunch spot was delicious.
We had an amazing day with our tour guide! She made the day special and took care of us as if we were her family visiting from America.
The tour was very informative. Maria really made the experience worth it. We saw some amazing things and Maria recommended this nice quaint restaurant where we ate some fresh sea bass, fresh bread, sardines and olives. She also said that we can text her for anything we need while we are in Lisbon. Value for your money. 10/10
We had a wonderful small-group tour of Fátima, Nazaré, and Óbidos with Alex! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable and relaxed. We learned a lot, saw some beautiful places, and never felt rushed. Alex’s insights and great personality made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour and Alex as a guide!
Pedro was amazing. I had left my sunglasses in the car and he dropped them off to me the next day. Very fun experience
A fair amount of time between sites, but well worth the travel time Alex our tour guide was A1. His knowledge was excellent and has a great sense of humour. He was very thoughtful and took great care of us
Pedro was the absolute best guide I’ve ever had on a Viator excursion (and I do them often). He was so kind, easy to reach, full of knowledge and made us feel so welcomed and comfortable the whole time !! He is the best !!! I would recommend this tour to everyone. Also bring comfy shoes !
WE HAVE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE...Alex was amazing...the only problem we were like to stay a little more time in some places... We understand the time constrain but still... also to have a microphone on the vans, will be better to listening all the important history. RECOMMENDED TOUR
Very good trip. The driver guide Albert is excellent . Also there were only 4 of us and it was very personal . Overall would recommend
Alex very friendly and knowledgeable. Was so good with one of our fellow traveler’s disability. We had a wonderful tour!
Alex was an absolutely fantastic guide. His knowledge and patience was outstanding. Alex made the day very enjoyable.
We were promptly picked up at the meeting place and whisked away for a fun filled day. We were the lucky ones to only have 3 of us on this tour with Rita as our expert guide and driver for the day. Rita gave us the perfect combination of history and knowledge about each stop while allowing us space to explore on our own. Thank you Rita for helping us enjoy an Amazing day!
A nice balanced trip between travel and time on site. Fatima was brilliant, Nazare was quaint and Obidos was amazing.
If you consider the tour self- guided and research the area ahead of time you will be happy with the experience. The guide was difficult to understand and did not speak to the entire group. The bus was loud and he was not louder. When gathering in a group not all could hear him and he did not attempt to speak to us all. We enjoyed the places that we went to.
The tour guide, JLo (Lopes) was 5 stars. Very engaging and funny. However, I booked this tour as a "small group tour with a maximum of 8 people." I specifically chose this tour because it was advertised as a "small group." Instead, 21 people showed up including a 3 year old for a 10+ hour day. Instead of having a small group experience we had a cruise ship experience. That's not what we paid for. That said, again, the tour guide, JLo, was 5 stars and what we saw was really worth seeing.
Great, well organized trip with too many highlights mention, but I could go on and on- during free time in Fatima we were able to attend an outdoor service just by luck of being there at the right time, in Obidos we walked a wall over 2700 years old and enjoyed Ginga, a cherry drink in an edible chocolate cup! In the quaint beach town of Nazare we enjoyed a great meal and the wild waves. It was all awesome and knowing about their history made them even more so. Comfortable van, nice small group experience with a wonderful guide, Alexander! By the time this informative, eye-opening, and fun tour ended, it felt like we were a family and with Alexander as our guide, I have a new understanding of so many things about Portugal. I definitely recommend it and if you are lucky, perhaps Alexander will also be your guide!
Mario was a great guide. Friendly, spoke great English. Good stories and knowledge. Comfortable ride and pace.
First, let me say that this day was made perfect by our guide, Alexander. He was early to the meeting point, kind, friendly, easy to understand, spanking perfect English. He was able to translate for some Portuguese passengers as well, but was kind to ask our permission/patience. He shared a bit about himself and many many historical and anecdotal nuggets of information during our very full day. He was most enjoyable as he was impassioned about his job, cared about our experience, and loved his country, traditions, history, and culture. We had a full day from Lisbon to Fatima, Balthalha, Nazare, and Obidos. This was just enough time in each location and included opportunity to use bathrooms, get snack/drinks, and explore on your own. We decided to lunch with the group in our van, including Alexander. Was a lovely seafood restaurant and he helped to translate my dietary needs. At the Obidos stop, we had a free treat of ghinginha at a 4 generation family run shop, which was original to this very old town! Of course we had to bring some home! My only wish is that we had placed this day trip with Alexander earlier in our vacation!!! We would have had a better context from his colorful, factual storytelling to give greater meaning to the rest of our vacay!!! He is one of the very best guides we have ever had of all trips we have ever taken. If you are considering this or any tour with him, don’t hesitate! You will be happy you booked this tour. We learned everything from music and food to weather Portuguese history, architecture, nature, and fauna…so much more I can’t list them all! He was every bit as entertaining as he was informative! This was 8-5pm and worth every minute and every euro! 8 persons in our group, fit well in big van. Comfy fit and air temp. Alexander was a terrifically safe and conscientious driver!
This tour was very nice. Fátima was a nice experience. Hard to see original site because there is now an outdoor church/chapel built on it and there are constant services. Did get to have communion though.
Our trip started from Lisbon to Fatima which is about an hour drive on a heavily rainy day , the driver was so sleepy that we had to stop for coffee. There were 8 passengers in the van and it was difficult to hear all he was saying especially when seated at the back. He was however knowledgeable. Having a PA system would make the experience better. Would recommend this trip as long as JLo the driver had his cup of coffee 😊
This was the perfect day tour to see places other than Lisbon. The right amount of time was spent in each location, and we never felt rushed. Mike our tour guide was very informative, helpful and very very funny. His sense of humor made the day even better. Van was comfortable.
Nice experience overall. Depending on the demand, groups maybe composed of a single group greater than 8 persons. Catarina Palma was the best tour leader we could expect. Very knowledgeable and very entertaining.
Catarina And the driver was the best. They gave us a lot of information and tips I will be back again soon a would take the trip again
Driver Mike is a amazing person very nice Day tour amazing views amazing Portugal 👍🍀 Can't wait come again 👌👌💥💥
We had such a great time! Mike was amazing! He took such good care of our group. He knows the ins and outs so well! Highly recommend!
We had Mike as a guide he was great. Learned a lot about the places we visited would highly recommend him
Great experience with a great tour guide, very pleasant knowledgeable and funny- thank you!!!!!!!!!!
What a lovely day! Mike our guide was awesome, full of information, happy to answer any questions the group threw at him. I was a little under the weather today and he showed concern along the way to my wellbeing, much appreciated. Delivered us back home safe and happy!!! Thanks again Mike see you next time!!!!!!
Luis Miguel was very considered, professional. Very Knowledgeable. Above and beyond. Great Day. Recommendations: Meeting place a location where if you are early can have a coffee or somewhere to wait.
Tour we had on 2nd of Nov, 2025 was one of the best. It is because of the nice weather, beautiful places, and our awesome tour guide, Catarina Palma. She arrived on time, very knowledgeable of places we visited, has a bubbly personality that made it more fun to be in her group, and she connects with everyone. I recommend Viator and Catarina to anyone who wants to have a meaningful visit in Portugal.
I highly recommend this tour we had fun with our guide Mike! He is amazing ,knowledgeable and fun. Very special trip for me coz we are all Filipino’s from all over the world.
Awesome trip with Mike. Very knowledgeable and shared local insights at the different stops. We were extremely pleased with the time we spent with him and would certainly use his services again. Would recommend Mike if you’re looking for a guide.
We had a great experience visiting Fatima, Nazare, and Obidos. Our guide Catarina was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. She provided useful information and historical background at each stop of the tour. She also gave a good recommendation for lunch while in Nazare.
