Our tour guide Gabriel was excellent! We really enjoyed the tour and Gabriel’s knowledge of Nazare and Obidos. We were concerned however the morning of our tour as no tour guide showed up even 10 minutes after the tour start time. We placed a call to Eduardo to let him know and there seem to be a bit of a scramble finding out why we did not have a guide. Thankfully we were added to Gabriel’s tour which initially was supposed to be a private tour. Little nervous now for our future tours.

Very impressive guys, very friendly and nice guys. Good job Mr. Gabriel and Ismail.Went to the museum with in the church area.
Leo was an excellent tour guide. So knowledgeable and interesting. Nazaré was breathtaking and Óbidos such a charming town. The day was a highlight of our trip.
Very Disappointed. They cancelled the tour for lack of participation. Why plan ahead and reserve event if you are going to cancel?
We did this tour last week and got lucky, we checked Instagram and saw that the swell was going to be massive. It was epic! We went straight to Nazaré and spent most of our time on the cliff with Esmil, watching surfers take on waves that must have been around 20 meters high. It was an incredible day! Traditional pastries with coffee in the morning, lunch at the food trucks with some Portuguese beer… everything was perfect. A true surf trip!
What a special day to go to Nazare. Our guide Leo was knowledgeable about the local area and knew the best spots to view the giant waves of Nazare. If you love surfing and want a knowledgeable guy, Leo is the best. A most memorable day for the family.
We enjoyed an amazing day in Nazare. Our guide picked us up at our door and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our trip from start to finish. The views of the waves and ocean are breathtaking in Nazare. You will also want to spend some time browsing the shops. I recommend this tour.
I really liked this tour. The views of the ocean and waves are amazing. It was also fun to browse the shops. Miguel was a fantastic guide for this trip. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sights. I would recommend this trip to Nazare.
This was the perfect end to our trip to Portugal. The small surf site and town were amazing, but the best part of the trip was our tour guide and driver, Paula. Her local knowledge and charm made this an amazing tour. If you are going to Nazaré or other tours in this area you need to request Paula she definitely goes above and beyond. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to have a unique experience outside of Lisbon.
We had a truly beautiful day in Nazare! Our guide Miguel met us at our door and was so flexible from start to finish to make sure we had just the experience we wanted. We really enjoyed browsing through Nazare’s unique shops and of course the real highlight was the giant waves and stunning views. Miguel is also a great photographer and helped us capture some amazing images to remember the day. We are so happy we booked this tour and so thankful to Miguel for going above and beyond to make our day so special!
Spending the day in Nazaré with Miguel as my guide was truly special. His passion for the town and its history made every stop come alive, from the dramatic waves at Praia do Norte to the charming streets of the old town. Miguel had a way of sharing stories that made you feel connected, not just to the place but also to its traditions and people. This wasn’t just a tour—it felt like exploring Nazaré with a friend. If you’re planning a visit, you won’t regret having Miguel show you around!
Wow! Amazing experience! 🌼 Patrícia is very nice, always with a great smile, super communicative and presented us with a beautiful tour through Nazaré. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for everything! We had an amazing day all together and hope to repeat this experience with Patrícia very soon. Cheers!
Patrícia was a great guide!! We had a perfect day with her. Thank you for show us the beautiful Nazare's beaches and the big waves! Thanks a lot!! See you
Amazing tour with a top guide ( Leo) Even if the wave aren’t giants ….the ocean’s breath is in our hearth now! Thanks Leo for a really great day !
Nazaré is unreal! We saw massive waves, and it was unforgettable. Ó Turista nailed the tour, everything was amazing. Highly recommend!
What a fantastic host for a great day in beautiful Nazare. Our host Esmil was amazing ensuring we all had what we needed and a great day. The story telling in the square was great to give some of this history which then ties to the surfing statue. As a surfer himself he also provided a great guided tour. Don’t worry if it is a quieter wave day it is still stunning and fun with some extra surprises. Esmil’s attention to the group was lovely. He knew I really wanted a patch for my backpack to commemorate the day and went to each shop with me talking in Portugese to the owners till we found one! Thank you for making this bucket list trip memorable.
Very pleasant visit to Nazare. Our guide Rodrigo was very kind, respectful and gave us a lot of information about the formation of waves off Nazare, about the history of the city. We had a great time and we highly recommend this visit.
Excellent experience with Rodrigo! Thank you very much for a wonderful day. Very nice and serious. I recommend!! Thank you. Amber
Beautiful tour with the guide Paula who was extremely helpful and very nice. It was a very pleasant and suggestive day.
I went to Nazareth and had a wonderful experience with guide Esmil. I have trouble driving and he helped me on the trails. It was a wonderful day, led to a fantastic restaurant and always took several photos to share. Super recommend this tour to everyone.
Tour of Nazaré organized very well, the guides Esmil and Jorge were excellent, helpful, super organized and so nice. A day of joy and good company to discover breathtaking views, waves, surfing, history, legends, traditions and typical food of the place. I would do it again right away 🤙🏽
