Wonderful day! - Wow this was a wonderful day trip! Batalha was unbelievable - it’s a must see in person. We also enjoyed Alcobaca Monastery & Obidos. César was our guide for the day & he kept in constant communication before he picked us up from the hotel. He gave us a lot of good tips for the tours & restaurant tips. Such an easy, kind spirit he has, it was such a delight to have him as our guide!

Wonderful day trip - César was our guide & we had a wonderful day with him! He shared a lot of history which we appreciated. But really it’s his personality that really shined through!

Quaint village of Obidos - RM Cesar is a great company to tour with. My husband and I had Rui , our driver/guide who drove us. We did a half day trip to Obidos. Rui is professional and a hospitable gentleman who makes you feel very welcome. His wealth of information is very much appreciated. We travelled in luxury in a very comfortable Jaguar.
Do look into their website. They have many private tours, they can also tailor the tour to your requests.
Highly recommend to tour with RM Cesar

Fantastic Tour of Obidos and More. - Felipe was a wonderful host and so knowledgeable and informative about the sites we visited. He left us time to explore on our own and was there if we needed him. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to others.

Fabulous Obidos and Monastery Day - We had a fantastic day with our guide João. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and how it relates to the three sites we visited. Batalha Monastery is breathtaking, as is the monastery at Alçobaca. We had a great lunch in Nazaré, the views are stunning. Our day was topped off with a visit to the medieval town of Obidos. This is my second private tour with João and I highly recommend touring with him.

If you want a driver this will get you where you want to go - It was a lovely drive to various cities along the coast and then to Obidos. Obidos was a quaint town much like others in Europe where you wander in and out of shops, eat something and see the views from the castle.This all day trip was more costly than another all day trip to Tomar. If you want to visit various areas and not rent a car this is fine. It was not an informative day. Unfortunately it was a driver who said she was a guide. Her command of the English language was poor and she was not very knowledgeable about the destinations or at least could not explain things. She stated that the viaducts were built after the earthquake and Wikipedia said they were built before the event. She basically dropped us off and let us have time on our own. The Tomar guide pointed out where restrooms were and another Sintra guide directed us to an excellent restaurant for lunch and both had a wealth of knowledge.
Also this was the same company that canceled our previous tour to Evora saying that 3 of us were not enough to go.
Very disappointing.
