Hello! My name is Francisco, and I’m a proud Lisbon native—what we call an alfacinha here in Portugal. Having lived my entire life in this vibrant city, I’ve developed an intimate knowledge of its hidden gems and a deep passion for Portuguese culture, history, and gastronomy. These three pillars make Portugal such a fascinating and inviting destination for visitors worldwide. After many years as a corporate executive, I decided to turn my lifelong passion into a career. In 2015, I launched my business as a "Chief Experience Officer," dedicated to showcasing the beauty and richness of my hometown and country. This role allows me to share Portugal's stories, culture, and breathtaking locations while learning from the extraordinary people I meet every day. My tours are highly customizable, ensuring that you—my guests—are always the center of the experience. While most tours start and end in Lisbon, I also offer multi-day programs that can cover other incredible destinations across Portugal. And I can cater to all your transportation and tour needs. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for in the options provided, please don't hesitate to reach out. I’ll be happy to create a personalized itinerary tailored to your preferences, group size and schedule. Also if you wish to book more than one tour or more than one day, please request a custom program where I can make a discount when 3 or more days/ tours are on the same trip. I look forward to welcoming you to my beautiful country and sharing its wonders with you. Driver Guide Certification Portuguese Tourism Office Licence nº RNAAT 687/2015

Join me on this private tour of central Portugal and uncover a region that played a vital role in the country’s development. Our first stop is Fátima, one of the iconic sites of the Christian faith. Here, we’ll visit its sanctuary, where every year over 250,000 people gather for the processions on the dates of May 13 and October 13. Another highlight is Nazaré, a charming fishing village where I spent many summers during my youth. Known today for its record-breaking waves, it’s also famous for some of the most delicious seafood in the region. Lastly, Óbidos, a beautiful medieval village with its castle, is another must-see in this region. Here, you’ll get to taste the famous Ginjinha served in a chocolate cup, stroll through the charming streets, and shop for unique souvenirs.
We had a tour with Francisco on 10/13. He arrived promptly, car was very clean and accommodated the 5 of us comfortably. He was flexible with us as we didn't know 10/13 had special significance for one of our stops== Fatima. He was able to get us to a good vantage point to watch what turn out to be a really special moment. He took us to an excellent place for lunch in what turn out to be his childhood vacation spot. Would recommend this tour and Francisco as a guide
We were very happy with the tour and Francisco was amazing. His knowledge of history and his ability to find just the right places to eat made this one of the best tours I have been on. He showed us many sites in 2 days and still had time to walk along many beaches. So far this tour has. Even the highlight of our trip
Very friendly with excellent English. Very knowledgeable and gave us an informative and relaxed tour. We would highly recommend Francisco. Thank you.
We had a wonderful day touring Fatima, Nazare and Óbidos with Francisco. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. He was a wealth of information and answered all of our questions. I wish we had booked him for additional tours while here in Lisbon!
Francisco is an outstanding guide. He is very knowledgable and professional and our full day tour was well planned. Once he got to know us he made sure to include activities that we would enjoy. We highly recommend him as a tour guide.
He was right on time and an excellent driver. His knowledge of the sites we visited was expansive. He was patient, kind and generous with his time. You could not find a better guide.
After the pickup we will drive to Fátima, an approximate 1h15 drive. In Fátima we will visit all the points of the sanctuary, get to know all of its history and have time to buy some religious souvenirs, if you wish to. After Fatima, an approximate 40-minute drive takes us to Nazaré, where, besides driving around the village, we will take some time to visit the big wave spots. After another short drive, we will arrive in Óbidos, where I will accompany you on a visit through the village, and you will be able to taste the famous ginginha and get some souvenirs if you wish. In the end, a 50 min drive takes us back to Lisbon. All the Itineraries and schedules described are the standard for this tour but the tour is fully customizable according to your preferences.

Depending on group size and availability our transports are always made on a premium sedan/estate (Mercedes E or equilavent) or a Mercedes Van. All cars are equipped with wi-fi, cooler, leather seats, multizone air conditioning and privacy windows. Altough the maximum capacity of the van is 7, we set the maximum number to 5 so that the middle seats are not taken and there's more room. If your group is larger than 5 please contact us so we can create a customized tour.
