Description

Discover the essence of Nazaré on this complete guided tour of the city and visit its most important monuments and landmarks.

Description

After picking you up from your hotel at 9:30 am, we'll set off on a guided tour of Nazaré to see its most iconic monuments and landmarks.

First, we'll head to the Igreja da Misericórdia da Pederneira, a Mannerist-style church that dates back to the 17th century and is located at the top of the city, where we'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the coast.

Then we'll make our way to the Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo, which stands proudly on top of a cliff on the beach of Nazaré. Did you know this historic landmark is also famous for its proximity to a popular surfing spot with some of the highest waves in Portugal?

At the end of the tour, we'll drop you off at your hotel between 11:30 am and 12:30 pm.

Joaqium is a really warm, hospitable and knowledgeable tour guide. His perspective and presentation of Nazaré's (and by extension Portuguese) history and culture are second to none. He also can be really helpful. Going above and beyond his way to help order a hot coffee and asking for my wellbeing when I was caught in the rain. Also provided information about the local markets, buses etc.. Overall, I really enjoyed my tour with Joaqium

Joaquín nos recogió directamente en el hotel y nos enseño el origen de la ciudad, su pasado y hacia dónde parece que va. Evidentemente no pudo faltar la referencia al Surf, visitando el fuerte de San Miguel Arcangel, al que fuimos tras subir en el funicular. La visita terminó justo dónde empezó, ya que frente al hotel, está el mercado de abastos, dónde a diario se puede comprar productos cultivados y preparados por habitantes de la comarca.

Joaquín picked us up directly at the hotel and showed us the origin of the city, its past and where it seems to be going. Evidently the reference to Surf could not be missing, visiting the fort of San Miguel Arcangel, to which we went after going up on the funicular. The visit ended right where it started, since in front of the hotel, there is the food market, where you can buy products grown and prepared by inhabitants of the region on a daily basis.

Apesar de o tempo não estar favorável à tour, o guia não deixou de fazer desta tour, uma tour que valha a pena. Transmite a verdadeira essência dos nazarenos, sempre simpático, preocupado com o meu bem estar e sem pressas. Aborda temas interessantes e conseguimos perceber como é que surgiu a Nazaré. Sendo eu "vizinha" da Nazaré, fiquei com uma visão e sentimento pela Nazaré totalmente diferente. Recomendo fazerem tours com eles. Obrigada, muito sucesso! Translate this opinion into English.

Despite the weather not being favorable for the tour, the guide did not fail to make this tour a worthwhile tour. It conveys the true essence of the Nazarenes, always friendly, concerned about my well-being and without haste. It addresses interesting topics and we can understand how Nazaré came to be. As a "neighbor" of Nazaré, I had a totally different view and feeling for Nazaré. I recommend taking tours with them. Thank you, much success! Opinion translated. Show original.

Joaquim, our guided tour, has arrived on time and has demonstrated excellent knowledge of local history and amenities in Nazare. He has taken us to all interesting places in Nazare in a clean and comfortable van. Joaquim has great communication skills (Portuguese and English). I have enjoyed my tour in Nazare and, thanks to Joaquim, I will coming back to explore Nazare in more detail. I would recommend his services to anyone who would like to find out more about Nazare and its hidden gems.
