Visit Fátima, Batalha, Nazaré, and Óbidos from Lisbon in one small-group day, with coastal views, history, lunch, and Ginja tasting.
“There were 4 of us and knowing the weather was going to be poor… we still had an amazing time. Our guide Maria knew the areas so well and she was extremely engaging and fun. We loved each of the areas. We really wanted to see Nazare for the surfing and we could not see anything due to fog. Óbidos was a huge surprise and so interesting!! Highly recommend this trip and hope you receive Maria as your guide.”

Review of a Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius tour from Naples, with guided ruins, volcano walk, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“The main tour guide was patronising and treated us like children. She didn’t give us much information about what we were doing and where we were going although the Pompeii tour guide was ok. We had to wait a long time for our lunch and overall I didn’t think the tour was value for money.”
Review of the Athens to Delphi and Arachova day trip, with transport details, costs, timing, museum tips, and honest advice on who should book.
“The day trip was absolutely amazing! Timing wise everything was planned efficiently and we never stood in queues. The pickup was organised outside the city centre so we did saved a lot of time at Delphi. Our driver-guide, Kostas, was amazing! He provided lots of great stories about Greece, suggested where to eat. Some tourists got late and we were delivered to the next spot, while Kostas got back to find missing people. So no tourists were left behind and full group came back to Athens. Absolutely nice and would recommend it!”
