Itinerary
Meet your guide in central Lisbon and hop into an air-conditioned minivan for your small-group guided day trip to Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos. Begin with a journey north to the once quaint village of Fátima now a prominent Christian sanctuary. Arrive and learn about the three shepherd children who claimed to see Our Lady of Fátima dressed in white in 1917. Stroll with your guide to the famous Sanctuary of Fatima, a basilica which draws millions of religious people annually who homage to the shrine.
From here, travel to the 14th-century Batalha Monastery renowned for its compelling examples of of ornate gothic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the monastery, follow your guide into the royal tomb and see the Founder’s Chapel. Hear about the noble family that rests here including Queen Philippa of Lancaster, King João I and their heir Prince Henry the Navigator.
Continue to the quiet fishing village of Nazaré, a favorite summer vacation spot for the Portuguese. Here, take a break for lunch at a local cafe or restaurant (own expense). Learn about the locals who fish here before heading onward to the Nazaré cliffs. Reach the gorgeous small towns of São Martinho do Porto and Foz do Arelho and whip out your camera for quaint farm-country shots.
Next, cruise along the impressive cliff-laden coast as you journey to Óbidos, a medieval village established in 208 BC. Enter past its fortified walls and discover slender streets, gothic facades, and vibrant houses. Alongside your guide, learn about King Dinis who gifted Óbidos to his new wife Queen Isabel in 1282 which led locals to refer to Óbidos as ‘wedding present town.’ As you walk notice the window sills decorated with flower pots and colorful tiles. Then, stop at a local wine shop for a taste of Ginja liqueur, a cherry flavored spirit and perhaps savor a snack. Finally, enjoy perusing through an artisan’s shop with a wide variety of handmade ceramics before returning to Lisbon where your tour concludes.

This excursion was excellent and highly recommended. We had the best tour guide, Alberto. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. As Catholics, Fatima was very special and not to be missed. Nazare was a beautiful beach town! Alberto recommended a seafood restaurant with delicious Shrimp Pasta. I loved Obidos, an old medieval town with cobblestone streets and shops. Overall, this tour delivered on three different experiences, each not to be missed.

We loved this experience and tour with our tour guide Antonio! He was so knowledgeable about Portugal and its history, taking the time to answer our questions and give us the background of each place we visited. He was lovely!!! We finished with a Gingjinha tasting and a birthday surprise for Mom! Fátima is a must see if you are Catholic.
It was a very nice trip and it lasted 10 hours. Informative and just beautiful places to visit.
Maria was so professional and we had a very friendly ride with her.
Hugo was a great guide. Knowing the itinerary ahead of time, we still would have liked more time in Nazare and Obidos. Beautiful cities
Gonzalo was an excellent guide who was knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed seeing the various cities and loved both Navarre and Obidos.
Maria was great! She was so knowledgeable and I learned a ton. Obidoa truly is a hidden gem and was magical.
What an amazing Tour! Our tour guide was the best, Jose was fantastic and made this entire experience wonderful, he provided details on Fatima, Nazarene and Obido. He pointed out points of interest along the way and recommended restaurants.
Great day!
The driver and tour guide is together.
He explains everything and very details so you learn something new.
Locations were interesting and tour guide was knowledgeable about a broad spectrum of Potugal related subjects.
What a wonderful trip! Our driver/tour guide, Gonzalo, is very knowledgeable and fun! He is very articulate in both the English and Spanish language. I highly suggest this tour.
A must see . Fatima is a spiritual place that all Christian’s should visit if possible. Nazare a very beautiful city with amazing mountain io views.
This tour is highly recommended, especially with Josè as the guide. His expertise ensured that the entire experience was seamless and thoroughly enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you, or “Merci beaucoup,” for making the tour so memorable.
Wonderful tour exactly as advertised. Our guide, Alberto, was very courteous and provided a lot of information about the sights and other general information about Portugal.
I had an amazing time on this tour. We had a number of stops and other places that were pointed out along the way. There was a good balance of time to explore and time travelling where the guide shared information about the local area and history. I definitely recommend this tour if you are in Lisbon for a short time to see outside the city!

Great trip in every way. These 3 cities are a must see when in Portugal. Three completely different vibes, still always Portugal. Get your spiritual on in Fátima, your beach vibes in Nazare, with great seafood options among other choices for lunch and then head off to the Castle for some medieval vibes❤️ And the bonus spot was 🤪🥰🕺🏼🥳
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this tour! It was a full day from Lisbon to Fátima and Nazaré, and every moment was worth it. The tour was very well organized, and we got to see so many beautiful and meaningful places without having to worry about transportation or planning everything ourselves.
Our guide, Orlando, was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly patient, kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone in our group. He made sure we never felt rushed and took the time to answer our questions and make the experience enjoyable for all of us. His wonderful personality truly made the day even more special.
For other travellers, we would say this is a long day, but definitely one worth doing! You get to experience so much of Portugal in one tour, and having someone like Orlando guiding you makes all the difference.
We highly recommend this tour and especially Orlando! Thank you for such a memorable day!
We had a great time traveling around the western coast of Portugal. Highlights were definitely Nazare and Óbidos.
Excellent experience. Very punctual, organized, & well planned, Tour guide excellent service. Make us feel part of the family. Very emotional. I highly recommend this trip.
Antonio gave us a world class trip! His English was superb, as he spent a year in North Carolina, USA as an exchange student. His explaination of each stop made you understand why we went there. Antonio’s best feature may have been his ability to get the entire group of 8 to talk about their country. It made tge ride more interesting.
Well done!

A beautiful tour! Our guide Gonzalo was super fun, kind, and informative, giving us facts about Portuguese history and culture, and the best restaurant and travel recommendations! This tour and Gonzalo was beyond our expectations, can’t recommend them enough.
Great itinerary! Our guide Orlando made the trip effortless & enjoyable. He was informative & a safe driver. Fátima, Nazare & Obidos, all lovely & well worth a visit!
Highly recommend! Each stop had its own character - the spirituality of Fatima, the dramatic coastal views at Nazare, and the charm of Obidos’s medieval streets. Our guide added great content and history throughout, and the pace gave us enough time to explore each place without feeling rushed. A great way to see a variety of Portugal in one day!
Benny was a great guide! Saw so much in such a short amount of time and a great variety of Portugal.
This is a great tour. Ruben was very informative and super nice. Each town is special in its own way. Nazaré is basically the French reviera and it’s gorgeous. We ate at mar bravo in Nazaré and it was delicious. We ended in a Medieval fair in Óbidos and it was so fun. We also saw the gothic church in batalha and its massive in its architecture in every way. What a great tour overall.
We enjoyed the trip and our guide Jana from Germany did a nice job. Fátima is nice but we really enjoyed the beach town of Nazaré and had a great lunch. Obidia a lovely wall’d fortress town is very nice.
Very informative driver. Lots of different stops . Great lunch. Once in a lifetime experience. Top notch.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our excellent guide, Gonzalo. He made our day with a personality plus, his knowledge, and his enthusiasm. His explanations were so interesting and informative. It’s so much more meaningful to have native area guides and he is the best! We will ask for him on our return adventures. Fátima was absolutely amazing and so special. I’d wanted to go there for years. It was a dream come true! Obidos , the fishing village was spectacular. Nazare was beautiful as well. We all enjoyed the beach, the gorgeous views, and delicious sea bass and trimmings for lunch. The stop at the Monastery was breath taking.
I thoroughly enjoyed all the information that Gonzalo shared with our group. He is a top notch guide. Thank you Inside Portugal 🇵🇹 for your excellent tour opportunity.
Our trip was amazing. Philip was the best guide. I only wish we had more time at each stop. But over all everything was amazing
Gonzalo was a very knowledgeable tour guide, kept us in awe with all the history and explanations, he provided historical facts about the entire country and Europe
You wont regret this trip. They have very friendly, funny tourguide so you may forget the time passing. If you want to change from crowded, busy city to a coastal village, a historic and old town, you should try this.
Orlando our guide and driver was too good. Lots of knowledge and very safe driving. Very polite and a true gentleman. I will recommend everyone visiting Lisbon to take this tour
