What people are saying about Leiria District

We had a great day trip in a small group of 7 people. Gustavo, our driver was super kind, told us all the stories behind the places we were visiting and he was very very kind. If you have the chance, definitely visit those places, especially Obidos makes you feel like you are in a different era. Totally recommended!

Our Guide's name was Gus. He was fluent in English and Portuguese. Gus was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much history with us as we traveled to the various locations. I enjoyed all of the stops, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be Nazare. I highly recommend this day trip.

Fun day trip with entertaining and knowledgeable driver/guide. Would do it again. (NB he drives too fast. To future guests, Fatima was fun to see even if you are not religious, like me.)

This was an excellent tour. Phillip was an outstanding tour guide and full of great information. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent activity to see several places in one day, pleasant guide and beautiful places
