This is a exclusive private transport based tour with a private official driver/guide.
Max.8 Passengers. Pick-up and drop-off included in all places of Lisbon.
We will start the day with a visit to Óbidos, a magnificent medieval town, which you will explore on foot, with your guide. This town will take you centuries back in time with the old white washed houses completely surrounded by the old castle walls.
After Óbidos it will be time to go to Alcobaça (option) to visit the famous12th century monastery. This monastery is not only a beautiful architectural example, but it has also the monuments in memory of King D. Pedro I and D. Inês de Castro (characters of a true romantic Portuguese story from the 14th century, very similar to “Romeu and Juliet”) of magnificent stone handwork.
For the lunch break the fishing village of Nazaré will come as the perfect spot, since the fresh grilled fish and amazing views of the Ocean should be enough to reenergize you.
From Nazaré we will continue to the Monastery of Batalha, (or Alcobaça as an option) the biggest example in Portugal of the late gothic Portuguese style, where we can also find the Manuelino Art – symbol of the Portuguese maritime expansion.
Fátima and its Sanctuary, the site where Our Lady of Fátima appeared in 1917. Since then, millions of pilgrims go there to pay their promises, to pray or just to feel its mystical strength! The Sanctuary Square is so big that it can only be described by numbers: it can receive simultaneously 300.000 visitors.

This is a exclusive private transport based tour with a private official driver/guide.
Max.8 Passengers. Pick-up and drop-off included in all places of Lisbon.
After leaving Lisbon, we will drive to Évora by the countryside roads of Alentejo, for a beautiful sightseeing tour by minivan. In Évora, we will have enough time to walk in its historical centre and “feel” the atmosphere of this town. After reaching the walled city our guide will invite you to visit the enigmatic church of St. Francis* and its Chapel of the Bones*. The tour will continue up the narrow streets of the old town reaching the Giraldo square where the Inquisition once had its headquarters.
You will also have time to explore the millenium old Roman Temple and have a glimpse at the 12th century cathedral*. In the already distant 16th century Évora thrived with culture and tradition in its university as much as it still does today. During a short visit to the century old university courtyard you will understand why was Évora once the second most important city of Portugal.
After such an intensive cultural morning it will be time to enjoy the pleasures of one of the most creative cuisines of Portugal in some of the local ''alentejano'' restaurants that our guide will help you to choose. What we wish to offer you in this tour is, above all, the tranquility and a sample of the real Portugal, hidden very often by the crowded tours.
After our visit to Évora we will go on to the village of Estremoz, the capital of marble in Portugal.
There we will make a comfort stop and see a marble quarry and learn how it is extracted.
