This was our second full-day tour booked with Van Go Tourism during our two week visit to Portugal. Our first was a perfect experience and we were anticipating a similar experience for our return trip to Lisbon from Porto, following a Viking River Cruise. We were SO pleased when we discovered our previous Guide would again be taking care of us! Susana is the BEST Guide we had our entire visit! Her knowledge, love for her country, and experience are amazing (and appreciated). Susana picked us up at the Gaia port at 8AM, securely stowed our luggage and began a full days journey back to Lisbon. (We are four adults and we had a lot of luggage!) Our first stop, about 1 hour away, was the canaled city of Aveiro. Susana told us the history of this town, about its salt production and the boats once used for harvesting now carry tourists on the canals. But our first stop was to visit a Aveiro pastry shop to taste ovos moles. Yum! Next we walked to the canal and boarded a colorful moliceiros for an hour ride and narrated cruise through town. Next, we were off to Fatima. Susana related the story of the children's visions and how the Basilica and Sanctuary came to be at this site. Amazing! After a full 2 hours, we headed to the beach resort of Nazare for a beach-side lunch and to witness the huge waves, they are famous for. Susana knew all the details here, too! Our last stop was to the ancient walled city of Obidos. Her knowledge of the history, art and festivals here was amazing! We spent 2 hours enjoying the history and atmosphere of this lovely place. Just before we were to end our time here, Susana had another surprise for us. She directed us to the Cafetaria da Maura for a Ginjinha, a Portuguese liqueur made by infusing ginja berries (sour cherries). Ours was served in a dark chocolate cup. What a perfect way to top off a perfect day. By 8PM, Susana had safely delivered us to our airport hotel in Lisbon. She was the highlight of our trip, a good photographer, and taught us so much. Thank you!
Dear Dallas, thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure having such a nice couples with us. You can't imagine how good it is to know that you had enjoyed your time with us in Portugal. It was a pleasure having you with us. We hope we have the chance to see you back. Kind regards, Margarida
We visited these towns on our last of 3 days touring with Nuno from Van GO Tourism and could not have asked for a better guide in Portugal. He was extremely knowledgable no matter what area of the country we visited including Obidos, Nazare and Fatima. Obidos is a quaint town and we spent some time visiting the walled city - including a tasting of ginjinha - the local, cherry liquor. Fatima was a must visit on my list and I appreciated the time he gave me at the Sanctuary and cite of the apparitions. Nazare is a colorful fishing village and home of the "big wave"! BTW - we had the most wonderful grilled grouper for lunch caught that morning by the restaurant owner's brother. We highly recommend this tour as well as Van GO, and especially Nuno!
Dear Dennis, Thank you so much for your kind review. That's so good to know that you had an amazing time with us. You can't imagine how grateful it is to all our team to receive this amazing feedback from our guests. It was a pleasure having you with us. Hope we have the chance to see you back for other experiences. Kind regards, Margarida
We HIGHLY recommend the Fatima tour including a visit to the Batalha Monastery. It is indescribable so you must see it to understand why words can’t define this very special place. Nuno was a fountain of information and always reminded us to take our time to enjoy this religious experience that was important to us. He arranged a lovely location for lunch afterwards and continued to share his wealth of knowledge about the unique history of Nazare and Obidos as he guided us through the town. He was most gracious as we sampled (more so fumbled with) our first taste of Ginjinha . Nuno made this tour a most memorable experience for us … no one could have done it better!
Dear Donna, Thank you so much. We can see that you loved all your tours with us. That's so good to know. That we met your expectations and suggest the best tours for you. Thank you so much. Kind regards, Margarida
If it weren't for Susana, we would have wasted a lot of time. We learned a lot, with very good historical information, restaurant recommendations, explanations of each monument, logical routes, and well-planned to not waste a minute; the best guide in the world.
Hola Ana María! muchas gracias por tu amable comentario. Nos deja mucho felices que han disfrutado de vuestros paseos con nosotros. Fue un placer mostrarle Portugal. Esperamos verlos pronto. Un saludo, Margarida
Nuno welcomed our family with open arms. He handled our three children and their various needs perfectly. The restaurant he recommended was one of the best of our 14 day trip through Spain and Portugal. Our son asked if Nuno could fly home with us- he loved him that much. Such a fun experience, seeing the sights was once in a lifetime!
