Tour Details

Nazaré

The tour begins in Nazaré, one of Portugal’s most iconic coastal towns. A picturesque fishing village, also known for the biggest waves in the world for surf lovers, as it was here that on 11-1-2011, North American surfer Garrett McNamara successfully faced a giant wave measuring 23 meters and 77 centimeters—the biggest wave in the world at the time.

We stop at key viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, ideal for photos and coastal scenery. If you’re interested, your driver-guide can explain the surf phenomenon and the athletes behind Nazaré’s big-wave records. 

To this day, the actual record is 28,57 meters and belongs to the German surfer Sebastian Steudtner. Every single season we have daredevils from all around the world to break the record!

Óbidos

Known for its well-preserved historic charm, Óbidos is a labyrinth of cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and colorful bougainvillea. Explore the impressive Óbidos Castle, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Wander through the narrow streets, visiting quaint shops, art galleries, and cafes. Don’t miss the chance to taste the famous Ginja de Óbidos, a sweet cherry liqueur served in chocolate cups.

Sintra

As we want to present you with a real Portugal, we will go through local and non-tourist paths towards the village of Sintra, a picturesque village with beautiful cobbled streets full of shops and traditional cafés. The village itself is really worth visiting so that you can feel why Sintra has been considered a World Heritage Site by Unesco since 1995.

In the field of gastronomy, let yourself be delighted by the quality of our fresh fish or seafood, or even taste our more traditional and typical foods.

The suggestions are ours, but the decision is yours. Enjoy to the fullest, this tour made for you, and thinking of you.

Charming tour, Pedro and Paula are the best tourist guides in the world! They made the experience the best possible, undoubtedly unforgettable moments❤️
Paula M
Emilio, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. As a surfer himself, he provided so much insight into the natural history of Naraze. I would have given 5 stars except that we had very limited time at Obidos. That may have been because there was a festival occurring and there were lots of locals there as well as the fortress was absolutely packed.

Sensational the guide!!!!! Had patience in the direction and provided us with a walk with a lot of safety and tranquility. The guide Madalena Marques is spectacular. It gave us a wonderful day. It took us to a wonderful restaurant with a perfect service. Finally, he told us about the history of the region and Portugal as a whole. Thank you very much

The tour was simply amazing, from beginning to end! Pretty, magical! Our Guide, Maria Madalena, has an extensive knowledge of the history of Portugal and the peculiarities of each place we visit, and it is important to explain everything calmly and in detail. I went with my mom, and we both managed to enjoy the day the best way! We are coming home full of good memories and beautiful photos, thanks to Maria's patience and skill for the records! Amei, note a thousand!

My family and I had the pleasure of doing three tours with Paula from Yellow Cab TT Tours, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Paula is incredibly energetic, kind, and always went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Also, our initial contact, Fábio, was super accommodating and responsive to our questions. If you’re looking to explore regions of Portugal beyond Lisbon, I can’t recommend these tours enough!
