The 10 Best Tours in Nazare, Central Portugal

May 2, 2022 Jacquiline Delozier

Nazare, named after the Biblical “Nazareth” in the 4th century, is Portugal’s most famous fishing village, now becoming important as well in the world of big wave, tow-in surfing. The tallest wave ever recorded being surfed – by a Hawaiian big-wave surfer – was off Nazare.

With only 2 full days in Lisbon, I wanted to book a tour that would allow us to see as much as possible. The most popular tours on TripAdvisor are the walking tours, however in the 4 hours they allow to only cover one, possibly two of the most popular neighborhoods in Lisbon, I kept scrolling until page 4 of tours when I came across THIS tour from Essencia da Latitude. For 5 hours we got every part of Lisbon and in the hot temps, we were privately chauffeured around by Daniel (superb!) but then stopped often for a good view or to see the various monuments or churches that make Lisbon so special. Growing up and still living in Lisbon, Daniel was an excellent guide as he knew everything! We could tell he was very proud of his city and he loved showing us as much as possible. He was a whizz at maneuvering through the vey narrow streets of old Lisbon, but then took us far away from the old part to also include the newer parts of the city. My husband and I later said we never would have been able to cover all of that ground on our own, even if we had stayed in Lisbon longer. After doing this tour, we felt we HAD seen and learned everything there was to about Lisbon and chose to spend out last day outside of the city. I also chose this tour because it was labeled with the “clean and safe” stamp and by being in a private tour we were even more assured that our contact with others would be at a minimum. Both we and Daniel wore masks, which did NOT take away from enjoying the tour, plus Daniel always opened and closed the vehicle door FOR us, also a hygiene measure. Daniel was very proud of the fact that Lisbon is making all attempts to “go green” for a lack of a better word and stops for water included a cooler with a glass flask with water and served in paper cups. We do hope that once the Covid period allows Portugal to fully recover, they can continue this effort and gain more world recognition for it. At the end of our tour, Daniel gave us many recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing and followed up per WhatsApp to make sure we had our answers and to thank us again for allowing him to show us Lisbon. We have never had such a friendly, interesting and downright good person as a tour guide before and we HIGHLY recommend Daniel and Essencia da Latitude. In closing I would just like to say that overall, we as Swiss felt SAFER in Portugal than we do here in our own country. The Portuguese continue to take the Covid situation very seriously and sanitizing and mask wearing have become the norm there, even out in the open streets...it became second nature to us and a small price to pay for being able to stay healthy and enjoy traveling in such a beautiful country as Portugal!!!!

We had booked this trip months ago and were not sure what to expect. It was expected to be a small group and really lucked out when it turned out to be just the 2 of us!. We had the best driver Celso Araujo with his very confortable BMW and our very knowledgeable, polite and professional guide Gonzalo Murta. Celso was very cautious of the road as he drove us while Gonzalo gave us a very detailed history of how Portugal came to be throughout the years of wars and conquests, very impressive!. He really knew his stuff. Once in Porto we had of course a porto wine tasting which was included in our tour and it was really very interesting. Afterwards we had lunch in a typical Portuguese restaurant(delicious) and then on to a 50 minutes river cruise also included in our tour. We walked the town as Gonzalo pointed out most of its landmarks, did some souvenir shopping and returned to the car which Celso had at the ready!. This was a very pleasant, informative and enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a great day in Porto. Hopefully you too luck out and get to meet Gonzalo and Celso!. They were amazing!!. ????????

This is a late review, but necessary. We thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour with Sintra Magik in Fatima. The Shrine of course was incredible. The visit to the family home and meeting their descendants were equally touching. We sampled the local cuisine and appreciated the hospitality. Our tour of the religious factory allowed us to return with artifacts for our family. We were so fortunate to have a delightful Irish priest bless these keepsakes. An awesome, memorable day. We highly, highly recommend this tour group.

Aveiro and Belmonte were the centers of our private tour and Diogo took us to about nine different historic sites. The hotel accommodations in Belmonte were first class and every restaurant Diogo had arranged for us seemed even better than the last. Diogo has excellent English. I am the only one of the four travelers with no Portuguese. He is a great driver and a most expert and knowledgeable tour guide.

As we only had a few days in Lisbon we were keen to see as much as possible. This tour was fantastic! We got to see the beautiful Pena Palace in Sintra which was top of our list. Our guide, Carlos was super knowledgeable about Portuguese history and introduced us to the culture. We loved this tour and hope to use Classic Portugal again! Great experience!!!!

We were lucky to meet Claudio early on our trip to Lisbon. He quickly became a friend, and offered wonderful suggestions to enhance our visit. We spent a day on the seaside in Eticeira, then visited Fatima in the early evening. Claudio took extra care to see that all our needs were met, and even took us to a lovely restaurant so we could experience Fado on our last night. We will definitely contact Claudio when we can return to the beautiful country of Portugal.
