The structure is known for being one of Portugal's prime examples of late gothic architecture.

Great tour especially Nazare and Obidos
It was a long day, but a great one. I particularly enjoyed Nazare and Obidos. I could have done without Fatima and Batalha. Nazare was the key thing I wanted to see, to be fair. It would have been better to have more time at the North Beach. I actually had to run down to the lighthouse and take a TukTuk back to the top to meet the tour departure time. At the South Beach, there was too much time. Maybe split the time up better? Obidos was a surprise that I really enjoyed. It was decked out for Christmas and was cozy and welcoming.

Excellent Tour
Small group, 8 people, tour. Tour Guide, Numo, was very knowledgeable and informative. Easy to ask questions and have dialogue with guide. Much easier than on a 50 person group tour.
Well worth taking.

Fabulous Trip Fatima, Batalha, Nazare, and Obidos
Had a wonderful experience to four of Portugal's interesting destinations. Our intelligent and outstanding driver/guide (Bruno Sales) spoke (in perfect English) almost nonstop about his beautiful country and the places we were visiting. He took us to a very small and cozy, but wonderful seaside restaurant in Nazare (Rosa Dos Ventos). Delicious fresh fish lunch with Portuguese wine! We were surprised that we were sharing the experience with only one other couple from the UK. Bruno deftly navigated some tight spots in his Mercedes-Benz minivan. In summary, we couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable driver/guide or expect a more gratifying experience in beautiful Portugal. Note: If you arrive by ship at Santa Appolonia pier, you can take the Metro just outside the pier to Restauradores Square. Tour meets in front of the Hard Rock Cafe; when we finished the tour, we took a leisurely and interesting walk back to the ship. Local tour operator for Shore Excursions is Inside Lisbon.
