¡Hola! Somos dos jóvenes, Diana y Romário y juntos somos Peniche360. Peniche360 surgió de la fusión entre una joven de Peniche, que aprendió a admirar su pueblo y todos sus encantos, y un joven de Lisboa, que se encontró apegado a esta tierra abrazada por el mar. O en este caso, como se dice en Peniche, “bebió el agua de la Fonte Boa (Fuente Buena)”. ¡Esta es una de las muchas leyendas que conocerás si vienes de gira con nosotros! Empezamos a hacer tours porque: 1º: A los dos nos encanta viajar, explorar, descubrir y conocer más. 2º: Coincidimos en que Peniche tiene mucho que ofrecer y que no mucha gente conoce realmente el núcleo de este lugar, ya que la mayoría piensa que Peniche se resume a las Berlengas y al surf... lo cual no es del todo cierto. 3º: Somos los únicos que hacemos esto en Peniche. 4º: ¿Cuál es la mejor forma de conocer un lugar desconocido? ¡Con un local, por supuesto! Te llevamos a lugares escondidos y no tan turísticos. 5º: Mostraremos Peniche en 360 grados. Decidimos promover sus rincones, historias, leyendas y cultura de una manera más integrada y comprensiva, no solo para quienes visitan nuestra ciudad, sino también para quienes ya viven aquí. También tenemos esta pasión por hablar con la gente y mostrarles el lugar.
I was instantly attracted to Romário & Diana's tour because of what they wrote in their description. This charming young couple decided to make Peniche their home because there's so much more to this historic fishing village than Berlengas and surf, and they're super enthusiastic to share these lesser-known aspects with others. For example, I had no clue that Peniche was world-famous for bobbin lace making and that the community is invested in keeping this traditional art form alive until I took this tour. Diana is an exceptional storyteller - she throws a little bit of everything into the mix -history, arts & crafts, politics, religion, economy, environment, and daily life, with a healthy dose of humor! Plus, she customizes her tour to the desires of her audience and although Portuguese is not my first language (or 2nd or 3rd), she repeatedly asked me if I understood what she had said and then patiently re-explained the things I had missed in English. But what I was most impressed with was Diana and Romário's commitment to supporting other local businesses like restaurants, bakeries, and massage therapists, because this is how a community thrives, not through real estate development. Without young people like Diana and Romário taking a stand for cultural preservation, I fear that authentic locales like Peniche could lose their individual identities and end up one big shopping mall full of chain stores where everyone orders from QR code and the only human interactions they have are scripted. We decided to end our tour at the Peniche360 storefront, which I highly recommend that you visit because there you will find locally crafted souvenirs (not made in China) and get great insider tips from Romário & Diana on where to dine, shop, etc., and basically experience Peniche and the surrounding area like a local. The service they provide is unique and incredibly valuable! Moito obrigada!
Peniche es una ciudad que no entra en los planes de la mayoría si no vas a hacer surf… una vez allí y en compañía de Diana te hace de la ciudad y sus alrededores una gran sorpresa. Gracias por todo Diana!! Muy recomendado ☺️
Diana was amazing! She’s passionate about her city and we loved learning all about the history and hearing the tales of the people of Peniche. An absolutely fantastic morning - we both highly recommend taking the tour with Diana!
Historian, storyteller, a true Peniche expert with a heart. Diana gives a tour incomparable to other tours. You must visit Peniche to attend this. It is that special.
