The cave is amazing! - We can only recommend this tour, which includes some popular destinations (e.g. Fatima, Nazare), but also some unique places, like the little shop with ginje tasting in Obidos. The cave offers some must-have experince, simply breathtaking. If you cannot buy the minimum of 4 tickets, ask for the phone number from this site's helpdesk - he is happy to find you a group to join.

The Best trip to the caves and Fatima - Pedro worked very hard to ensure everyone in our group had the best time and saw everything they wanted to see. He had a split group, we are from New Zealand, speak English and a family of four from Brazil who speak Portuguese. Pedro did very well with his English explanations making sure we were included.

A day trip worth your time & money - Because of the great tour experience I had the day before with Pedro in Cascais and Sintra, I decided to book another tour again with them. This time I joined a family of 4 from Chile and we were picked up on time in a very clean and new mini van. Our first stop was the Grutas Mira de Aire which was amazing! Then we moved on to Fatima before ending with an excellent seafood lunch at a local restaurant nearby. Next stop was Nazare for some beach and wave watching before ending up at Obidos where we circled the Castle walls and tried authentic Ginjha.

A full day of adventure north of Lisbon! Beautiful places, great food, great tour guide! - We had lots of fun exploring the underground grutas and taking many pictures. Our tour guide took us early at the perfect time to have the caves all to ourselves. Next we drove to the sanctuary of Fatima. Interesting history and a beautiful church! Then we headed to a restaurant for a delicious traditional meal! Lastly we got to see the beautiful view of Nazare beach as well as the lighthouse! Thanks Pedro!
