Top Portugal Day Trips - page 98

We had a wonderful day trip. We have learned so much about the three little children in Fátima. We also saw so many people crawling in their knees for getting their wishes fulfilled and praying. We really enjoyed our lunch in Nazaré. Please be sure to try the cod (it was the best dish that I tasted.) Also while you are in Nazare, be sure to visit the Nata shop; the nata was also the best one that I had eaten on this trip. Óbidos reminded me of Carmel, California a little charming and romantic town.

We had an exceptional full-day tour of Sintra with Sandro Santos through Viator, including the incredible Pena Palace. From the moment my husband and I met him, it was clear that Sandro truly cared about making our experience special. His knowledge of the history brought every place we visited to life and helped us understand what we were seeing rather than simply passing through as tourists. He was attentive, personable, and made the entire day feel effortless. What impressed us most were the respectful relationships Sandro has built with people at the various sights. Everyone welcomed him so warmly, and because of his connections and experience, we were able to avoid waiting in lines. That saved us so much time and allowed us to experience far more during our day. The car was extremely comfortable, and Sandro took wonderful care of us from beginning to end. We cannot imagine having had the same experience without him. Without Sandro’s knowledge, guidance, and relationships, so much of what we saw would have simply been beautiful sights without the meaning behind them. He made our day in Sintra truly memorable. We highly recommend Sandro Santos. He was absolutely perfect for us, and we would book with him again without hesitation!

This was wonderful way to travel and made the trip so much easier. Diego was incredibly kind and helpful. Porto was beautiful and it was nice that our trip was customized to what we said our interests were. The car was comfortable and immaculate as well.
