This was my second experience with Portugal Afora, and I have to say, it was incredible! This time, I brought my husband along, and from the moment we booked, Pedro was exceptionally attentive. He responded quickly and made the booking process seamless. Our tour guide, Caio, was also fantastic! He was always cheerful and thorough in his explanations. He even offered to take pictures of us, which I truly appreciated! The entire trip was wonderful; we got to see all the amazing sights while Caio shared fascinating insights along the way. I highly recommend their services! Until next time, Portugal Afora!

Itinerary
Our first destination is the Shrine of Fatima, in the same name and 130 km away from Lisbon is a place of devotion and pilgrimage preserving the memory of the appearance of Our Lady to the three little shepherds in 1917. The Neobarroca basilica, surrounded by statues of saints, has a 65m tall tower and an esplanade twice the size of St. Peter's in Rome. Next, the destination is the preserved home of the shepherds.
The next destination is the Battle Monastery, in the city of the same name. Built in 1386, the building is impressive. It has a beautiful church which is free and you can visit the Monastery with paid admission directly on site.
Following, we will meet Praia da Nazaré, a fishing Villa that grew and kept its traditions, becoming even more famous with the giant waves of Praia do Norte. Here we will pass through the center of the Villa and also through the Sitio in Nazaré, at the top of the mountain, where we will have spectacular views of the city and the open sea, in addition to the lighthouse where the giant waves can burst with the most force between October and February.
We end our tour by visiting the Villa de Óbidos, which is inside a medieval castle. Just over 80 km from the centre of Lisbon, the beautiful and different Villa has plenty of reasons to visit. Currently it is inhabited by fewer than 100 people, but it is full of charming shops, cafes, typical food restaurants and even a spectacular bookstore inside an ancient church, which preserves the medieval aspect of its 12th-century construction.

Guia Caio conhecedor da história de cada ponto visitado, com explicações profundas e respostas que atendiam as dúvidas colocadas por nós, turistas.
A energia de Fátima é impactante, o mosteiro é lindíssimo, a praia é maravilhosa. Amei o passeio. O guia foi ótimo, explicou bem, tirou todas as dúvidas e demonstrou muito conhecimento acerca da história portuguesa. Recomendo.
The tour was all perfect, a very special, fun and relaxed day. Our guide Caio is very good people, explains everything in detail, thank you very much for everything and I will definitely indicate PortugalAfora for more people.
The tour is wonderful, it was a very special, fun and relaxed day. Our guide Caio as always exceptional, explains everything in detail, giving tips and the photos he takes look wonderful. We indicate PortugalOutside closed eyes and when we return for sure we will close with them.
Caio an excellent guide understands the customer's need and does everything with dedication. We had a wonderful walk. Thank you very much.
We did the tour with Caio, who welcomed us very well, already at the beginning I asked for some adaptations in the script and a reservation at Aunt Alice's restaurant, which was not being able to carry out, and everything was organized the way I wanted! On the day of the tour, Caio welcomed us at the hotel and we took the tour to Fatima and Cascais, which was wonderful, always explaining and giving us the freedom to walk and enjoy the city calmly and in family!! Super recommend and sure when back to Lisbon we will do other tours with Portugal out!!
I super recommend Portugal Afora!!! The Caio is always very attentive, tells the whole history of the place and the best tips for the tour.

I loved Caio. An impeccable tour, punctual beautiful places and all very carefully with us tourists.
I made an incredible city tour of Portugal with Portugal Afora and I only have compliments! The experience was simply perfect from beginning to end. The staff is super organized, punctual and extremely attentive. The guide had an impressive knowledge about the history and curiosities of each place, making the tour much more interesting and engaging. We visited beautiful places, learned a lot and still had valuable tips from restaurants and sights outside the traditional itinerary. All this with great comfort and tranquility. Without a doubt, it was one of the best experiences of the trip! I recommend Portugal Afora with closed eyes for those who want to know Portugal lightly, well planned and unforgettable. Thank you my friend Emilio! See you soon!
This tour is spectacular and a must stop in Portugal. But all this only works, because you have the best guides. They look for you at the hotel and show you the country like no one else does. They talk about the history of each city, curiosities, but all in a light and rich way. The 4 cities are close, making the tour even more enjoyable. Worth every minute! I can't see the time to go back!
I met Portugal Afora through Youtuber Estevam, the Estevam channel around the world. And it was a great experience! It was exactly what we wanted: a private tour with values within the budget. We spent a beautiful day with Caio, who took us to the places and told the stories and information of the places. It was also possible to adapt the script to our needs, as it was the time of the Chocolate Festival in Óbidos and we wanted to stay more time in the city. The car trip was quiet and comfortable throughout the journey. And for photography lovers like me, you have the photographic record of the tour already included in the tour!
The guide was very receptive, attentive and polite, making the tour more pleasant and still sharing your knowledge!
Evaluation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our experience was simply excellent! The organization was impeccable and each destination chosen was amazing. We visited Fatima, an exciting place full of spirituality. In Battle, we were impressed with the beauty and history of the monastery. Nazareth enchanted us with its landscapes and the welcoming climate of the city. And Obidos looks like a real film setting, with its charming streets and medieval atmosphere. Everything was very well planned, with attention to detail and great service. No doubt, we recommend Portugal Afora for those who want to know Portugal with peace and unforgettable experiences!
Pedro and Caio know history and balance the information of the locals very well with the daily life. The tour is light, they take amazing photos and leave us at ease to make the most of it. The car is very clean and safe. I recommend. I intend to come back
Unforgettable tours. Thank you Caio and Pedro for the effort to make everything amazing.
Our experience on this tour was fantastic. Caio and Pedro understand a lot of these places, took us to the best points and told the stories. We dive into the real Portuguese universe. Not counting their sympathy and the quality of our photos they made. I am happy to recommend it, as it was 10!
Travel very well organized and managed by Caio. He knows a lot of history and was very kind and asking in everything....
We were my friend to Fatima, Nazareth and Óbidos with Jorge and it was wonderful our tour. Jorge explains everything about the history of the places in detail besides being an extremely nice and friendly Cover. I will miss them and when we return to Lisbon we will do other tour with Portugal to Fora.
Our tour was Fatima, Battle, Nazareth and Obidos. Excellent Service from the first contact. Punctuality, sympathy, attention and care. The guide (Caio) demonstrated knowledge about the history and curiosities of the locals, which made all the difference in the experience of the tour! The transportation is excellent! Clean, organized, comfortable. They picked us up and handed us back to the hotel. It was an amazing experience with right up to the photo album.
