Best tour company in Portugal! - I’ve used Premier Tours several times for private tours from Lisbon and they are the best! Jorge the manager is such a professional, very responsive to my requests and rates are very reasonable! We just spent 2 days with our tour guide Rod and we enjoyed our time with him very much. He was knowledgeable, funny and so engaging! If you’re looking for a tour company for Portugal, Premier Tours is the best choice!

Fabulous Fatima, Batalha, Nazarene and Obidos day tour - Jorgé met us at our hotel and we went to Fatima! His English was perfect! He was informative along the way and explained the different sites within the grounds of the basilica. He gave us plenty of time to see and do what we needed to experience all of Fatima, in spite of very limited parking since the next day was October 13th. From there we went to Batalho and he gave us so much specific and coordinated information about the history of the church and the times leading up to it! He explained that it is the tallest church in Europe and royalty has been married there for centuries. From there we went to Nazarene to view the ocean and learn of the incredible waves that come in February/March. We went into the beautiful church and learned about the origin of the other small chapel in honor of Mary who saved the nobleman. Finally we went to Obidos and we had ample time to wander, shop and try Ginja in a chocolate cup! One of my favorite tours!! Thanks Jorgé! Highly recommended!

Wonderful Day Tour - This was by far the best tour company and guide (Jorge) we've ever worked with. They were so responsive on our questions prior to booking this day trip. The guide, Jorge, was knowledgeable on the area/history and could answer any question we had. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about Portugal and Fatima-Nazare-Batalha-Obidos. The lunch spot was incredible serving local cuisine. I'm so glad we found Premiere Tours on a general internet search. We will use them the next time we travel in Portugal or Spain. If you are looking for a high quality tour company where you will learn a lot about the area and feel so comfortable in conversation, please book your trip with Premiere Tours.

It's worth hiring Premiere Tours - I want to thank everyone who does Premiere Tours for the excellent Service provided to me, my wife and a couple of friends during our stay in Portugal. I will definitely use the services of this Enterprise again and recommend it to everyone.

Great private day tour - Jorge, who we booked a private day tour was not only a gracious guide but a proud ambassador to his country. I was reluctant to book a tour with a company I have never heard of but from the time I had made the initial contact through email, Jorge was honest, prompt and responded very efficiently to all my questions and concerns. The tour was for 7 of us and he gave more than enough time to leisurely explore each sites. Aside from his knowledge and history of the different places, I also appreciated his reminders regarding VAT during our stop at Fatima. His Mercedes van was comfortable and from the time we started at 9 in the morning to about 6pm, his demeanor remained even killed and kind despite the fact that he was driving for the last 9 hours! Thank you Jorge for making our tour memorable... hopefully we’ll be back to visit Portugal again!

A great choice! - We made two tours with the Première Tours one of them leaving from Lisbon a private tour for me and my sister, the punctual and efficient guide Sandra excellent driver took us to Fatima, Battle, Nazaré and Óbidos a lovely day! Leaving Porto we went to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where we met the ancient city, Cripta Cathedral, a magical city. Our guides Mr. Carlos amable punctual with great historical knowledge. On the way we still pass by Valencia adorable small medieval Portuguese town We recommend this agency and all its Tours, hugs to our guides and to Mr Jorge Brás who organized all our tours

Amazing private day trip - We booked the Fatima-Nazare-Batalha-Obidos day trip with Jorge. It was the best part of our trip to Portugal. He was so gracious and made the trip an unforgettable experience. He always made sure we were comfortable and was so informative about the sights. We look forward to more day excursions with him the next time we visit Portugal and Spain. Thanks Jorge, again it was a pleasure!

Tour guide did not guide - Just because you pay more for a private tour doesn’t always mean you will have your tour guide with you at each stop. We had hoped for a guide. Someone to show us around the place and explain history., It was disappointing that our guide only spoke to us during the drive and we had to explore on our own each stop. This led to waisted time and lack of information. We could have just taken a cheaper tour or rented a car. Tour guide was very nice and safe driver but we craved the entire guide experience the “private” tour are known for.
