Great Land Tours Beyond Lisbon
South of the River from Lisbon - Great for wonderful scenery with pristine untouched Mediterranean flora and ocean view from high cliff roads - the French Riviera as it once was.
Shrine of Fatima - this I do in more depth covering not just the main sanctuary square but also the way of the cross.
Fatima & Batalha - they are close, so manageable for cruisers who want a bit of history thrown in with the Shrine.
Obidos - this I combine with the Buddha Garden and wine tasting, making it a unique full day tour.

A cataplana is a copper pan made of two clam shells that can be sealed with a clamp. The origins of this cooking contraption are lost in time. In the early 20th centuries Portuguese hunters carried cataplanas loaded with onions and tomatoes, so they could cook game on a wood fire. Later, in...

My husband found this great video shot in Lisbon this morning. It just encapsulates the Portuguese idea of Saudade or longing, the linchpin of Fado music. Having lived here in my adopted home port of Lisbon I find this concept affecting me also - it is in the air.

Testimonial: "Other passengers who had booked ship-sponsored tours informed us of how disappointed they were with those tours. I am happy to say that our experience with you was just the opposite! Keep up the good work."
Our shore tours are different - get off the bus and see what others can't!
Book your tour early so you're not disappointed and lose out on the date! There's only the 2 of us so when a date gets filled it's gone forever unless we get a cancellation - and those are as rare as hen's teeth!
We pick you up and return you to your ship!
Happy guests with Rui after a whistle stop tour to Fatima!
