Free Tours en Peniche

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.

Diana was very knowledgeable and we liked that she had photos from history to compare to today.

She was great. Particularly accommodating given we had a huge storm the night before with great power disruption and trees down in the area. She adjusted our starter time per our request. We would recommend Diana for anyone wishing to get a locals perspective (and younger) of Peniche and Portugal.!

Absolutely fantastic tour - thank you Diana. I cannot recommend highly enough. I was the only one on tour (being winter) and Diana didn’t mind. She just wants you to share her love and passion for the area. Amazing 🤩🙏

Uma experiência acima do esperado, uma tour que superou todas as expectativas. Informação muito boa e sítios que nunca tínhamos pensado em passear, saímos com a sensação que realmente ficamos a conhecer a cidade de Peniche. Considero um tour “obrigatório” a quem visita a cidade de Peniche. Queria deixar um especial agradecimento à Diana pela experiência que nos proporcionou!!

Diana was a lovely host and did everything possible to make my stay and tour an interesting one. Thanks for your time and dedication. I learned a lot about Peniche and it’s people. I can highly recommend the guru walking tour

The best guru walking tour we have ever had! Diana was such a knowledge and friendly local and showed us so many places we never would have seen or known about otherwise. Thank you Diana!

Gracias a Diana descubrimos que Peniche no es solo playas y surf…Excelente recorrido y muy buena atención, Diana fue fantástica y es muy recomendable hacer el tour, ameno, con mucho conocimiento y mucha pasión en lo que hace. Excelente!!

A paixão da Diana pelo seu trabalho e por Peniche traduz-se na qualidade da Walking Tour. Sou Portuguesa e descobri Peniche com outros olhos!

Romario für un excelente guía. Muy recomendable para ver rincones de Peniche que no habría podido ver por mi cuenta.

Diana was great - She took us to places that we would have missed, was well prepared with pictures and historical facts, and had a great local and authentic personality. Thank you!

Diana was an amazing guide! Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Peniche and the history. So much great stories and information and answered all our questions. Also great recommendations for food and a attractions within the wider area. Thanks Diana ❤️❤️❤️

Diana showed us Penische. Penische is a lot more than the fort! Diana told us the stories of the prisoners and showed us the lace museum. We know where we can eat typical sweets and where to go for eat and drinks. Also she showed us where else to go and told us all the whereabouts Diana thank you for this lovely afternoon!

Diana made a fantastic Job showing us Peniche and it's history and culture. She has a lot of passion for her City and showed us places and aspects we would have never found by our own. She tried to help with every question we had and had a lot of great Suggestions.

Diana was brilliant and her knowledge is phenomenal! Incredibly well informed and recommended many other places to go and visit, plus pastries and restaurants- ever so helpful. I could have listened to her all day

Diana was amazing! She felt like a friend who also happened to know the entire history of Peniche. I'm not usually into history but she told us very interesting stories and made sure we were enjoying it throughout. 11/10

This was an amazing activity to discover Peniche! We recommend it.

Danke für die schöne Führung durch die Innenstadt. Uns hat besonders das Fischerdorf "Bairro do Visconde " sehr gefallen. Schöne kleine Gruppe und viele Tipps und Infos zur Stadt/Stadtgeschichte. Können wir zur weiterempfehlen. Christoph

We had an absolutely fabulous tour with Diana in the wonderful town of Peniche. She turned a town on a sleepy Sunday into a very fascinating morning for us. Her information was thorough, but not boring and there was a lot more to see than we had found on our own on a previous visit. We look forward to returning and trying out some of her recommendations, and possibly even booking a tour with her again sometime.

Una visita muy sorprendente por Peniche, paseando por sitios desconocidos e interesantes, y con muy buena explicación histórica y de anécdotas. Se ha pasado el tiempo volando

Diana is really nice and introduced me the history of Peniche, also some interesting stories. You can feel the passion that she has about this place. Wish you all the best and make more people to know this beautiful town. 100% recommended to join the tour. Thank you for everything
