Great day tour from Lisbon - The presentation included both the history of the sites but interwoven with our guide’s personal history. You felt like a friend was showing you around their hometown. Lots of interesting information our guide provided insights and suggestions for all the other locations we planned to visit in addition.

Great Trip - We had the good fortune of being the only participants on the tour of the Templar Castle, St Nazaré & Obidos. This was made a memorable trip by the wide ranging information which our guide, Jose, shared with us. We felt there was little he did not know of his subject matter and refreshing that if unsure of the answer to a question, he told us so. Jose even followed up by texting suggestions on reading material, restaurants and other sights to see. Overall a great experience in great company!

Stormy weather, but still a hit - Turned out my “small group” was just me! A private tour! Gui was very knowledgeable about Portuguese history and very charming. The weather was not the best for Nazare and Obidos, but the Templar’s castle was thoroughly amazing. A highlight of my trip.

Amazing tour - you need to do this ! - Antonio was the perfect guide - friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon and we toured Tomar Castle, Nazaré and Óbidos. I learned so much about Portuguese history and the Knights Templar. Everyone should be visiting this castle/cloister! It is amazing ! We had a nice lunch on our own in Nazaré and walked down to see the huge waves at the beach. Our final stop in Obidos was a walk back in time to a medieval walled town. Adorable shops and cafes lined its cobblestone streets. You will love it !! Don’t delay and book a tour with Jump in tours today !!!

Perfect tour! - Our tour guide Gui was as amazing as the tours. I was traveling with my elderly mother who walks with a cane, and Gui accommodated her every step of the way. Both Navare and Obidos were so lovely, and the lunch Gui arranged was fantastic. Highly recommend tour, tour company and Gui!

Perfection due to Antonio - We cannot say enough about our guide, Antonio. Informative, flexible, smart, great conversations, kind and new information we hadn't researched. We had a fantastic time, despite the continuous rain. Antonio seemed to have each stop timed perfectly for both weather and what we wished to experience; to say it was perfect all the way around is an understatement. Thank you-3 very happy travelers.

An outstanding tour hosted by Antonio. - A first-class, relaxing and informative tour. Our guide and driver, Antonio, was outstanding. I would recommend this tour. The coastal scenery was picture perfect. The history of Tomar and the Templar knights was fascinating and evoked memories of the St Clairs and Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. 10/10 for this not to be missed tour Antonio.

Comprehensive Informative and Great Value - One of the best tours we’ve taken. The company was very accommodating- especially with a 3 hour flight delay. They worked with us to make sure it happened and we’re right on time to pick us up at the hotel. The guide can only be described as a walking Wikipedia on all things Portugal, and he was both interesting and passionate about his country. Quite refreshing. I also appreciated his flexibility to adjust schedule if something was more or less of interest to us. The 3 stops were great and represented a good contrast and overview of these somewhat unique areas. I highly recommend the tour.
