Uncover the best of Batalha Monastery the local Way

"Stasea set up a great itinerary for my wife and I in Portugal. She knew a ton about the history and was incredibly accommodating. Also just a really interesting, good-hearted person. We're so grateful we got to spend the day with her! "

"We traveled from Porto to Lisbon with Gustavo stopping in Coimbra and Bacalhau along the way. Gustavo was excellent at telling us what to expect and how to approach our stops along the trip. We enjoyed the university library and cathedral in Coimbra. Those locations don't provide significant information and Gustavo gave us all the history and context to appreciate that experience. The monastery in Batalha was beautiful and a great choice for a stop. Again, we would have struggled to understand without Gustavo's guidance. Overall an enjoyable ride with good conversation. We'd certainly recommend taking this trip with Gustavo. "

"Luis was very knowledgeable about the tour, the history, and food of his country. It was a pleasure meeting Luis and would highly recommend him to others that want to be educated."

"Tiago was a great tour guide for the day, providing a valuable insight into each site, delicious food selections and perfect itinerary for our family. Highly recommended!"

"We recently took a day trip from Porto to Lisbon and had an incredible experience, thanks largely to our tour guide, who was both knowledgeable and personable from start to finish. From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. Gustavo shared fascinating historical context, local stories, and cultural insights that added so much depth to our day. It was clear he had a genuine passion for Portuguese history and heritage, and his ability to bring the sights to life made the day especially memorable. Gustavo was also incredibly friendly and attentive to our interests and pace. Whether we were exploring iconic landmarks or enjoying local cuisine, we always felt engaged and well cared for. This tour was a perfect way to get a deeper appreciation for Portugal and we can’t recommend it enough—especially if you’re lucky enough to have a guide as excellent as ours!"

"We booked a tour with Carlos to drive us from Porto to Lisbon stopping in Aviero and Óbidos along the way. Everything was great. We enjoyed learning about the history of Portugal along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour."

"Gustavo transferred us from Porto to Lisbon so we could make the most of our travel day. We stopped in Coimbra and Batalha. Gustavo was knowledgeable, energetic, interesting, funny and friendly. He was communicative and punctual, but also very flexible. Today could’ve been. Wasted day for us, but Gustavo made it one of the favorite days of our trip. We are so thankful and will definitely use him again when we come back to Porto! "

"It was a perfect experience. A lot of pertinent information and a charmful person."

"Gustavo's tour was excellent. He was super knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and ate good food. Would definitely recommend."

"Our family chose the ‘City Explorer: Obidos, Batalha, Alcobaça & Nazaré’ day trip and had a wonderful time visiting multiple sites with Stasea. All locations were extremely diverse and offered a little bit of everything. I highly recommend doing a guided tour to these locations as they are far distances from Lisboa. Stasea was extremely knowledgeable of the history, patient, kind, and also a great driver. The ages of our group ranged from 7-65 years old and everyone had a good time! I highly recommend choosing this tour if you have additional days in Lisboa and want to see different areas of the country. "
