Traveler reviews
Punctual on the route and flexible on main locations. Price could be a bit lower but anyway general feeling is good and.
Excellent organization. We were punctual in our schedule. Guide Junny was kind and professional, with deep knowledge of the subject and always ready to help with advise or to answer any related questions.
Very enjoyable experience!
This was a well-organized day trip and a great way to see Porto, Nazaré and Óbidos in a single day. The schedule was full but well managed, with enough free time to explore each place on our own. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and shared interesting information throughout the journey without making it overwhelming. Transportation was comfortable and everything ran smoothly. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and good choice if you want to visit several destinations in 1 day.
Great for whom doesn’t have too much time.
