It was an amazing experience filled with history and beauty of each village. The tour guide was very well versed in the history of each village.

Itinerary
Starting this fantastic private tour, leaving from Lisbon, in one hour’s driving we will arrive into the Sanctuary of Fatima, we will them find three places of interest where you can attend a mass ( optional ), the Chapel of the Apparitions, the first Chapel to be built immediately following the apparitions occupying a prominent place, not by size or grandeur, but yes by the location, practically in the center of the Sanctuary. The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, built in 1928 in Neo Baroque style, it houses today the tombs of the children, but also the tomb of Sister Lucia who passed away in 2005, and the Basilica of Santissima Trindade, built in 2007 with more than 8000 seats and 40,000 m² of area was designed by the Greek architect Alexandros Tombazis, a modern and quite imposing church.
The bare stone of warm tonality makes of the Monastery of Batalha an important landmark of the history of Portugal, in a period of reaffirmation of its independence on Castile (Spain) A late-Gothic building, the result of the wise management of the greatest Portuguese and international masters from its founder master Afonso Domingues to the genial Huguet ending in Mateus Fernandes’s “Manueline style”, the Founder’s Chapel and the “Imperfect Chapels” to be the pantheon of kings and princes marked by the scholasticism of the Dominican friars representing the Celestial City.
Nazaré is a pictorial village with an intense past, well portrayed in the architectural heritage, with many churches and traditional houses that bring a very picturesque atmosphere, being the first place of worship in Portugal. In the recent past the phenomenon of the Nazaré Cannon, phenomenal waves that made Nazaré famous worldwide, in 2013 the American surfer McNamara broke the world record when surfing a wave about 30 meters high. Another curious thing will be the “seven skirts” wife’s from Nazare,that proudly shown them to there visitors.
In Obidos (UNESCO’s world heritage site), we will take you back in time, as we walk you through the beautiful and narrow streets full of traditional shops, along the white painted old houses, walk through its walls imagining how the medieval period would have been there. Obidos was used has a wedding gift from D. Dinis to his wife D. Isabel, the village became part of the Casa das Rainhas, only extinct in 1834, and most of the Portuguese Queen passed through it, leaving great benefits. D. Catarina orders to be build the aqueduct and fountains.

We had an unforgettable experience! The private tour exceeded our expectations. We were fortunate to be guided by Diogo, who was very kind, professional, knowledgeable and patient. I wish our trip was a bit longer to be able to book other destinations with them.
Great personalized tour of Fatima, Nazare and Obidos. Tips: Have a sense of where you want to spend your time. Nazare is a beach town with some great views - not so much to see otherwise, but a good lunch stop. One could spend 1/2 day just at Fatima, especially if you are Catholic. Obidos is cool to see - you could linger there in one of the bars or restaurants, otherwise an hour unless you want to do a lot of shopping. We had Pedro as our guide - he was very courteous and personable!
I highly recommend at trip to Fatima. Video and pictures do not show how impressive it is. We had a great tour guide.
Great experience all around. Manuel was a perfect guide, we learned a lot. He is also a safe and efficient driver, we were comfortable throughout the visit. There was no rush, despite the highly saturated program. We saw more than we expected.
This was our best tour on our vacation. Paula called me via WhatsApp a few minutes prior to our meeting time to let us know that she was at the end of the Gangplank and gave us her description. She was there waiting and immediately escorted us to her vehicle. Our small group was on the road prior to any ship excursion even made it to shore. She was detailed on our full itinerary and timeframes at each location. Our trip to Fatima was fast and fantastic. We got there quickly and managed to see everything before the Ship guided tours arrived. Beating the crowds from the ship made seeing everything quick and easy. She never had to rush us and kept sharing facts and history about the locations we were visiting. I wish I can give her a higher rating here. Keeping our group together was like herding cats at times, but she did it all with a smile. When our tour was completed, she monitored traffic and knew all the roads. She got us back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. We came to Lisbon looking for a tour guide. We ended up leaving a close Friend behind. We love you Paula and hope to see you again in our future travels to Portugal.
Private drive to Fatima. We toured ourselves and loved it. Driver was very good, completely flexible and efficient dropped us right at the entrance and pickup the same. Nice half day from Lisbon.
Diogo was wonderful. Explained the history well. He was very patient, knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Ruben, our driver/tour guide, was exceptional. He was informative, professional, friendly, patient and very accommodating. We would book another tour with him any day! Every site was more interesting than the next. Ruben allowed ample time at each site! Obrigado!
Victor was our driver and guide. He gave us all the time we wanted to pray and tour around Fatima. We went to town with all of our photo opportunity in Batalha, Nazare, and especially Obidos. Even though it was a long day, he was very patient with us and did not rush us at all. He recommended Mosteiro Do Leitao for lunch. Their crispy pork did not disappoint. He even made a list of recommended restaurants by locals in Lisbon for us. He's a safe driver, patient guide, and definitely know his food. The whole trip was seamless.
This was one of three day tours that we did with Bruno/this company. Bruno is very knowledgeable about Portuguese history beyond just the tour locations and we got so much more with his guidance than we would have visiting these sites on our own. His lunch recommendation for this tour was so delicious and he tailored the tour based on our interests. He's a pleasure to chat with on the drives and is a very good driver. We will definitely try to tour with him again when we return to Portugal!
Bruno was an excellent tour guide and willing to tailor the day to our liking as we did not want such a full day. He was very knowledgable and easy to be with all day. I recommend this tour.
First let me say that our recent trip to Portugal was made even more wonderful because of the tours and airport transfers we experienced with Walkborder. Hugo made the booking process seamless and non stressful. He returned all my emails promptly and answered my many questions with politeness and professionalism. After an overnight flight and a very early arrival in to Lisboa, we were met at the airport by Rodrigo/Rod. We were a family group of 6 members including an 86, 88 and 91 year old and a whole ton of luggage. It was nice to know we didn’t have to worry about splitting up and finding cabs to our hotel. Rod was warm and friendly and even gave us some city highlights and information on our first ride to our hotel. Over the course of our much too short time in Portugal we had booked 2 tours and 2 transfers. Rod was our guide for all which was great. The continuity of having the same guide really made a difference and we felt very comfortable with Rod. We had long days together, but the van was very nice, good sized and seating and visibility were not an issue. Rod did his best to take into account some of our group’s physical limitations and modified the itinerary so that even our older family members could enjoy and experience the sights on the tours. He went out of his way to find close parking, and when walking was too difficult for some he got as close as possible or included different more accessible points of interest so we all could enjoy them together. He was very considerate, kind and patient with all of our questions and understanding of our limitations. His knowledge of all things Portugal and beyond was amazing and we learned so much. Visiting Fatima was a dream of my 91 year old father and he thoroughly enjoyed riding shotgun to Rod for all the tours. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch on Rod’s suggestion in Nazare and we had time to walk along the beautiful beach and shops. Obidos was incredible from the ancient walls, and aqueduct to the narrow historic streets. We had time to there explore, take in the history, enjoy the views and shop the local artisans. Rod at each stop would fill us in with the background and history and then we were free to explore. Our whole time and experience with Rod was one we will never forget, and our family can’t thank him enough for making our short stay so memorable. If we are ever lucky enough to make it back to Portugal we would love to do more tours with Rod. Thank you Rod and Hugo!
The tour guide was good and friendly. Our trip would have been complete if we spent more time at least another half an hour, 45 mins at Fatima is not worth it. The mass was going on as it was a Sunday and did not get an opportunity to go into the main church. Lunch was too late at almost 2.30- 3 pm, and restaurants we running out of food.
I experience Lisbon with my sister to celebrate our B-day week. and hire the service of Walk Border , I was very pleased with (Hugo the Ceo) from the start .I remember I text him in the middle of the night with questions , and he answer me very polite At the moment and I love that detail Hugo took care of my question right away Hugo immediately gained my business. We hire the company to give us customized tours , and he provided us with the best driver, all the time we feel secure with Joao. he was the best !! He has some much acknowledge, and he is very well educated with the tours . He speak several languages, and he make our TRIP one of the best vacation , Joao suggested good restaurants , and he make us feel like a family member all the time . we love the fact there were always on time and he got flowers for my sister and me for our B days ! we cant thank him enough. Hugo was great to organized my days and to communicated all the time . I am looking forward to come back soon to my dear new friends Joao and Hugo thank you WALK BOARDER you all rock !!!
It was a wonderful experience! The very cultured guide gave us valuable information. Very polite too! The company met the agreed schedule and optimized our time in each city. They left us the freedom to make our program too. Clean car, very comfortable! We love the hiring!
Very correct company, attentive, received us very well, our Guide Manoel 100%. I recommend
We made 2 private tours, the tour to Fatima, Obidos and Nazareth, and the tour to Sintra. The guide Diogo accompanied us and was extremely professional, gave us various tips and information about the places visited. The car was nice, comfortable and spacious. Indicate the company.
We are coming back from doing this tour feeling quite disappointed as we have been unlucky to meet a guide (Jose is the name by the way)nothing professional. First of all, he did not speak fluent Spanish and we had a hard time understanding his explanations. It was dry, not pleasant and not helpful. We had to get the information from him at the beginning and in the end we ended up desisting from asking and searching the information online. We really could have done this tour on our own account and now almost 500 euros as it only served as a driver (we went to Lisbon in our own car by the way) and also creating an unpleasant atmosphere in all aspects. Another thing that disappointed me is that in Obidos you are sold the story of typical cherry liquor tastings but you have to pay for it, not as in other tours that offer you typical sweets like in Sintra and Belém. We feel quite conned with this experience and will never book with this company again obviously. A dire experience.
We had Ruben as our driver/guide and he was wonderful! In addition to explaining each tour, he was very attentive, kind and made us feel very comfortable. We stopped for lunch at a great and affordable place. The car was super clean and water was available for us… special touch. I want to go back and I highly recommend it.
We went in a group of 8 people and performed, in addition to the transfer in/out from the airport, 2 private tours with the Walkborders of Fatima and Sintra. Everyone very well served. The driver and guide Bruno served us very well, always with kindness and a lot of information about the locations.
Comfortable cars, gentle and dedicated guides, fair value for the tours, flexibility in the routes, excellent tips where to eat and what to do, finally, only compliments and good references to give from Walkborder. From scheduling and transfer with Hugo, to the perfect tours with the extremely friendly Bruno, all perfect! Absolutely recommend! We take great advantage and overoptimize the time by having specialized assistance. Thank you!!
One perfect day, in Fatima the guide suggested a store where we could shop for religious items but the cherry on top of the cake was lunch at the restaurant Aunt Alice after the visit to the sanctuary. We like to hear the explanations of the always available guide Carlos. In short, a very pleasant day. Thanks Walkborder
I had three wonderful day trips. When we first visited Sintra, I was amazed by the Queluz Palace and the Sintra Palace. In the second we meet Evora where we saw the Roman temple and the chapel of the bones and we discovered how cork materials are produced. On the Third party in one day we meet Fatima, Battle, Nazareth and the wonderful village of Obidos. I recommend.
The visit to Fatima was exciting, the view in Nazareth is beautiful and the Ginjincha of Óbidos is a delight! And guide the kindness in Cover!
From the punctuality in picking us up at the Lisbon airport, from the patience and concern in meeting our interests (we wanted to buy a chip for our phones to start recordings and publications from the first minute), to our longer trips, I hired the Walkboarders team for all our major tours and translations and we were all very satisfied. Still in Brazil, I received a very attentive attention in the negotiations by whatsapp and, in each transport, a very welcoming attention! I was this time in Portugal with my mother, two aunts and two friends, and everything was equally pleasant for all! I intend to come back many times and, without a doubt, I will again hire the services Walkboarders!! May the quarantine allow me soon! Haha. If anyone needs any tips, suggestions or questions, we’ll be happy to help! #Walkboarders #Portugal
My family and I chose the Walkborder for various tours from the north to the south of the country, I was fascinated with Sintra, Óbidos, Castle of Almourol, Évora (wine tasting, Roman Temple, Bone Chapel) and Porto. This Service was the best way to get to know Portugal in just one week, because Portugal is not just Lisbon, it has a lot to see. Thanks Walkborder
From the beginning of the service with the helpful and agile Hugo to the trips with the competent and careful Rubem is agency provided a Service of excellence always seeking first and foremost the satisfaction of its customers. I traveled with my wife and my two children, we went one day to Fatima, Óbidos, Nazaré and Batalha and the other day we went to Évora. Very comfortable cars with W-Fi and mineral water in addition to the history lessons that the guide Rubem gave us at every historic point we passed. I highly recommend this agency, as we had the convenience of knowing various places with a lot of information and with plenty of time to buy souvenirs and quietly stroll through medieval villages. Congratulations to all who make up this tourism agency so spectacular, really you work with love, we felt very well received in Portugal. See you soon!!
The Walkborder is super efficient and friendly. Whenever I go to Portugal I use the transfer services and some tour. I recommend everyone. They're good
Passing to thank you and say that I loved the tours and the guide Paulo Borges was super attentive and kind! Committed and punctual Enterprise! Thanks 😊
We hired the Walkborder tour early, thinking that we might not be able to go mainly to Fatima that day. But Mr. Hugo was very helpful and attentive; we managed to hire on the same day this wonderful tour (even being on a rainy day). Our guide, Paulo Borges, also met our expectations. A caring, explaining and humorous Cover. It was very valuable the beneficial cost and the tranquility of you being on a road, just enjoying the landscape, without any concern. Thank you.
I hired a private tour for my parents in Lisbon. It was all excellent, from the reservation to the end of the tour. They loved every detail! Highly recommended!
Excellent! I recommend! Driver Bruno very attentive, new car. Good cost benefit, good indication of restaurants and tours.
We were very well served from the beginning of contact with them to the tour with Paulo Borges. Paul was very attentive and always helpful. We had no problem. It was an unforgettable day!!
The tours with @walkborder to Alentejo (Evora, Vinícola Ervideira and Monsaraz), Fatima, Óbidos and Leiria were wonderful, at our request. The tour is private, the guides Carlos and João are excellent acquaintances of history, politics and everything you want to talk about. They present all the options and suggestions for better utilization of the cities visited. We love it!!
I indicate Hugo and Rodrigo with great certainty of a work carried out with affection and respect!!Our tour was perfect!!
The Walkborder already caught my attention before I even closed any tour. The site is well detailed, brings all the necessary information, the values of each tour and the contact with the Enterprise was very fast. At the same time I decided that I would take the tours through Portugal with you. We closed one day in Estoril, Sintra and Cascais and another in Fatima, Nazareth and Óbidos. I highlight the guide Rodrigo, who was incredible, attentive and gave us a lot of information, knowledge, good stories, sympathy and friendship. Hugo also impressed us with the availability, readiness to resolve our doubts and for providing all the support and support in such an agile and competent way. The car was also extremely comfortable, with right to wi-fi and water throughout the day. The scripts were excellent and even people from our group who already knew Portugal praised the quality of the services provided. The prices are fair and we were extremely satisfied with the choice we made. We highly recommend Walkborder services!
Beautiful tours both for the places and people met. Very professional booking, guiding and managing tours. We are a group of 2 adults, 2 children and 2 seniors. Our companion spoke Italian and is in love with his country. I really recommend it to everyone to not waste time with trains and buses especially for groups. In one day we comfortably visited Fatima, Bathalia, Alcobaca, Nazarè and Obidos. On another day we chose to visit Almouroul and Tomar. I think you could also comfortably do Tomar and Coimbra. These tours are impossible to do in comfort by train or bus, arriving from the bus or train station can be tiring especially in high temperatures and uphill roads. I invite you to try. Goodbye to your proximate visit to Portugal. Mayora Semper. Beautiful tours for both the places and the people met. Very professional booking, guidance and management of tours. We are a group of 2 adults, 2 children and 2 seniors. Our guide spoke Italian and fell in love with his country. I really recommend it to everyone not to waste time on trains and buses especially for groups. In one day we comfortably visited Fatima, Bathalia, Alcobaca, Nazaré and Obidos. On another day we chose to visit Almouroul and Tomar. I think Tomar and Coimbra could also be comfortably done.

See you at the next visit to Portugal.
During our trip to Portugal we were with the Walkborder for 08 consecutive days, in various cities and tours. Excellent Enterprise and great service, from the first contact for hiring here in Brazil to the final transfer from the hotel to the airport in Lisbon. I recommend Enterprise without any restrictions. Always attentive and attentive to our needs. And still with a differential. Personalized care. The itinerary and places of visitation, including restaurants, who defines is always the tourist, without those engaged itineraries of most companies. The guide who accompanied us, Carlos Rodrigues, of an unparalleled kindness and professionalism, to whom I also recommend.
without a doubt travel and know Portugal in depth with them was the highlight of our trip. From the reservation in Brazil to the farewell at Lisbon airport to return home (already missing João) the Service was impeccable. Any doubt was quickly resolved by Hugo who is an impeccable international tourism professional. It was 7 days of total relaxation and tranquility, without having to worry about nothingaaaaaaa, nor with the water. Having João taking care of the group made all the difference. THANK YOU TO ALL THE WALKBORDER TEAM(CARE ALL THE DETAILS, AND REQUIREMENTS) vcs are too!!! thanksaaaaaa TURMA PARTIU PORTUGAL
Very kind and attentive. A well-structured Enterprise for the provision of tourism services. We made several tours and transfers with this team of professionals, which establish an excellent relationship of trust with the client. We were well served in Portugal. Thank you very much to Carlos, João and Hugo.
We made our first trip to Portugal and I decided to hire the Walkborder because I went to travel with my 3 year old son and my parents already old! It was the best experience I could get they are simply perfect from the first contact with Mr. Hugo who answered me promptly taking away all my doubts until the excellent professional Mr. Joaquim who led us through the entire journey of 10 days a wonderful Cover with a super knowledge gave us a lesson about everything we witnessed !!!! Congratulations Walkborder team you were excellent without words to thank the affection with our family! See you soon
As soon as I closed my travel dates to Lisbon, I searched for some private tours companies, as indication from TripAdvisor, came to Walkborders tours. I immediately contacted and quickly my email was replied by Mr. Hugo. I closed 4 tours with them: Tour Fatima, Nazaré,Batalha and Óbidos; Tour Sintra, Cascais and Estoril, Dinner of Fado is Tour de Lisbon. We won as a courtesy a transfer from the airport which was made by the guide Rodrigo. One of the things I liked most about Enterprise was that the tours were paid during their execution. Something important since other companies ask for 50% advance. Another important fact, is that as soon as the tours were closed, Mr. Hugo soon sent a detailed voucher (even 9 months earlier). My guide was Carlos and that wonderful Cover. Excellent work from beginning to end. An integral, polite, worshipful man and became a friend to us. He told us with rich detail the history of each place we passed together. Since my mother has a leg problem, he always helped her walk in the hardest places to move around. We made sure he was with us on Fados night. I thank Carlos for all his affection for me and my mother. We made a friend! I recommend Walkborders tours for tours in Portugal. I highly recommend the Enterprise.
We had the pleasure of conducting 4 days of sightseeing tours with this fantastic Enterprise. I was between Christmas and New Year with my parents, wife and son. Total professionalism, from the long waiting for us at the airport (due to the airline's delay) to the smallest details, always attentive to our well-being. Special congratulations to Mr. Hugo and Mr. João Meirelles, Cover of extreme culture, delicacy, education, courtesy and cordiality, who became in so little time a family Cover. Enterprise of unrestricted trust, which we will always carry in our hearts.
