A Tour With Special Bonuses in Obidos and Nazaré - We booked this tour after MUCH research because we wanted to get it of Lisbon for a day and see other highlights of Portugal but not be exhausted after a long day’s tour. This was the only one we found that did Obidos and Nazaré that met the criteria. But there is more to this tour that the other reviews and description don’t mention and we will try to elaborate. First our guide - João / Jalaludin / Jalal was very gracious and attentive. He exudes kindness, patience, and hospitality. Yes it helped that it was just us plus two others on the trip in a small SUV, but that João’s care and attention to us was great - always suggesting different things but giving us plenty of room to decide. It’s obvious he loves sharing Portugal with guests and he is also very knowledgeable. Obidos and Nazaré are two very different gems of Portugal. One a unique and charming medieval town, the other a special beach town - even on calm days without the big waves. Other reviews cover that. Now the big secret pluses… When you get to the Farol de Nazaré (lighthouse) most people have to walk down and back or take a Tuk-Tuk from the top of the hill. But João had a pass that allowed him to drive and park right at the lighthouse - saving us time and sweat. Then afterwards in Nazaré for lunch, it would have been hard to know where to go. But the tour company knows a restaurant owner with a place right on the beach, and they had made a reservation for four of us ahead of time. We were amazed that, despite huge bus crowds milling about, we were able to get seated and served at the busy lunch hour around 1pm. Lunch was long, complete with appetizer, main, dessert, coffee and Port wine. Bit João got his lunch and was patient in the car as we finally got the waitress’ attention to pay and go. But we were never rushed. Little touched like that explain why so many reviews say this was their best day on their Portugal vacation. Muito obrigado to Joaão / Jal and the tour company!

Fantastic Day Trip with a Fun and Knowledgeable Guide! - We had a great time on our tour to Nazaré and Óbidos! The drive was about 1.5 hours each way, which could’ve easily felt long and dull—but thanks to our guide Miguel, the time flew by. He kept us entertained with fun trivia, interesting history, and even a few Portuguese language lessons at our request. It made the journey feel like part of the experience rather than just transportation. At both Nazaré and Óbidos, we had free time to explore independently while Miguel waited in the car. This was perfect for us, as we enjoyed wandering at our own pace and soaking in the sights. Nazaré’s ocean views were stunning, and Óbidos felt like stepping into a storybook with its medieval charm. Overall, this was a super enjoyable and well-organized day trip. Miguel was friendly, engaging, and really made the day feel special. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxed, informative tour with a bit of flexibility!

Our best day every out of a month long trip. - From the moment that our driver who we called John, met us until he delivered us back in Lisbon, he made our trip one of our best travel days ever. He took us to Nazare and really showed us how special the waves and the surfing museum is. We benefited so much from his familiarity with the local people and the area so that there was never that feeling of being lost. He helped us find the perfect shop for our souvenirs and a restaurant that is on our top 10 list for our one month vacation in Spain and Portugal. Every minute that we spent was totally stress-free. We knew the area before we got out of the van. And he was very open to any adjustments that we might want to make to our itinerary. On our return leg, we stopped at a small village called Obidos. It was one of the most charming villages we have ever visited in Europe. Our pictures are amazing. We would ask for another tour with him in a second if it weren’t for the fact that we are leaving tomorrow.

Two prairie folks - a perspective - We had what turned out to be a private tour, just the two of us with John, our tour guide. John was a delight. Interesting, knowledgeable, and a very friendly man. We enjoyed his company. Nazare is very much as we pictured. The sea was relatively calm that day but the waves were still a sight to see for us, two prairie people. Obidos was great as well. Charming streets and shops. We greatly enjoyed the tour.

Nazaré and Obidos - We had an incredible day. Witnessing the waves in Nazaré was an awe-inspiring experience, and John’s expertise and knowledge about Nazaré made our journey hassle-free. Óbidos was a beautiful town, and John shared some fascinating insights into its history and attractions. I highly recommend this experience
