Discover the treasures of Portugal’s West Region on a private, exclusive journey designed for discerning travelers. Begin with a visit to Fátima, Portugal’s largest pilgrimage site, where faith and history meet. Then explore Batalha Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of late Gothic and Manueline architecture, as I share stories of Portugal’s golden age of discoveries. Continue to Nazaré, a picturesque fishing village famous for the world’s largest surf waves and vibrant local traditions. Enjoy fresh Atlantic cuisine with breathtaking ocean views. In the afternoon, step back in time in Óbidos, a perfectly preserved medieval town of whitewashed houses, cobblestone streets, and castle walls. Stroll its romantic alleys and savor the famous cherry liqueur in chocolate cups. This private experience blends history, gastronomy, and scenery for a truly unforgettable day.
AMAZING…What an impressive tour and tour guide. Paulo was very knowledgeable of the three areas we visited. He explained in detail the past and present history of each area and was very flexible in the time we spent at each stop. This is a MUST tour to take . My wife and I will definitely use Paulo again the next time we visit Lisbon. Thanks again Paulo and God bless
Paulo is an excellent guide, brilliant communicator, extremely knowledgeable about Portugal, well organised and very helpful. We loved our day with Paola and came back with lots of new and interesting information on Portugal. We highly recommend Paulo as a tour guide. Thank you Paolo. Outstanding!
We have taken several tours with the guides by Tours by locals! Paulo is absolutely the best! Paulo is so knowledgeable & the 4 cities we visited had their own story & Paulo knew everything there was to inform us about each city! We had a delicious lunch in the seaside city Nazaré! We had a wonderful time & highly recommend Paulo to guide you through this beautiful country Portugal!
Paulo is the very definition of a true professional. His knowledge of four very different locations was remarkable. My wife and I learned so very much and totally enjoyed his excellent perspectives on not only our destinations, but also on Portugal's unique position among world-leading countries. Our extended tour will be a day neither me nor my wife will ever forget. I highly recommend Paulo to anyone considering a trip to Portugal.
Paulo is a walking encyclopedia. We learned so much from him. The tour was very well organized. We spent more than 10 hours with him and there was not a dull moment. Book a tour with him you won't regret it.
Paulo was the perfect guide, better than I could have imagined or expected. He was knowledgeable about everything; culture, industry, religion, landscape, economics, sports, food, history.. We were very impressed. He made everything interesting, was incredibly friendly and kind. His knowledge and delivery is truly remarkable. Wish I could have him as a personal tour guide around the world.
We will begin the day with a guided walking tour of Óbidos, a charming medieval town surrounded by ancient walls and filled with cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and colorful bougainvillea. Next, we head to the fishing village of Nazaré, famous for its traditions, fresh seafood, and as the site of the biggest waves in the world. Enjoy a relaxed lunch here by the ocean before continuing. In the afternoon, visit the impressive Monastery of Batalha, Portugal’s greatest late Gothic monument, where Gothic architecture blends with Manueline style, symbolizing the nation’s maritime expansion. We then proceed to Fátima, the spiritual heart of Portugal, where Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children in 1917. Explore the sanctuary with me as your private guide . This tour may also be arranged in reverse order, and I can design a fully customized itinerary for your group, especially if you are more than four travelers.
