MULTI-DAY PRIVATE TOUR · 4 DAYS PRIVATE
Portugal in four essential days
Four perfectly chosen days — Lisbon’s trams and fado, Sintra’s palaces in the forest, Europe’s westernmost point, Fátima’s sanctuary, the Batalha Monastery and Nazaré’s Atlantic cliffs.
Four days is enough to capture the soul of Portugal — if every day is perfectly chosen. This itinerary takes in the things that make Portugal genuinely unlike anywhere else in Europe: the melancholic fado music of Lisbon, the fairy-tale palaces of Sintra, the pilgrims at Fátima, the towering Batalha Monastery and the extraordinary cliffs of Nazaré.
We begin in Lisbon — the city that feels on the very edge of Europe, looking out over the wide Tagus toward the ocean. Tram 28 through the Alfama, the Belém tower, a river boat on the Tagus and a private fado dinner in a candlelit cave restaurant.
This tour pairs perfectly with an Andalusia or northern Spain itinerary for a longer Iberian journey.
