Nazaré: Where the Ocean Meets the Land
Prepare to be awestruck by the dramatic coastal scenery of Nazaré. This charming fishing village boasts a stunning beach, towering cliffs, and a rich maritime history.

Wander through its labyrinthine cobblestone streets, lined with whitewashed houses adorned with colorful flowers. Duck into charming shops filled with local crafts and souvenirs. Discover the imposing Óbidos Castle, now a luxurious hotel, and imagine the lives of the royalty who once graced its halls. Don't miss the opportunity to sip Ginjinha, a local cherry liqueur, often served in a chocolate cup – a delightful treat!

I was traveling with a friend who hates tours. This one didn’t change her mind. It is basically just a driver to destination and it could have been uncomfortable if the driver didn’t take to two women who sat upfront with him. Just average. Nothing special. I prefer a little more in a tour.
L’autista è stato gentile ed educato. Il tempo per le visite assolutamente insufficiente per anche per pranzare. Manca totalmente la presenza di una guida che dia info sui luoghi visitati. Mezzo di trasporto inadeguato ; troppo affilamento. Tanto vale prendere un taxi ed organizzare da soli le visite.
We liked getting more time in the each of the two locations. We were a little surprised that we were in a private car with only 2 other guests. Nothing wrong with that, just not what we expected. Luckily I am not a very tall person so sitting in the middle of the back seat worked out. Our driver Reuben was very congenial and friendly. He shared what he knew bout the two localities. I wouldn’t describe this outing as a guided tour though. He would bring us to our drop off spot tell us a few things perhaps a recommendation on an area to get food, and the time to return to the spot where he dropped us. For us this worked out fine. For someone more accustomed to having the tour guide walk you through the town with interesting historical facts this probably isn’t for you. Fort hr person who wants to dive in in their own and have the freedom to do what they want. This is a perfect fit. Reuben picked up and dropped us off exactly on time.
Our tour was very exciting. It's not every day that you get to go see the beach. The wind and the water and the beautiful view points kept our spirits high. May 26 is outside of the big waves season, so our best option was to see the video of the BIG waves. The ocean for us was a little stormy, nothing out of the ordinary, there were some surfers too. And still it was exciting to watch them. If you expect to see the BIG waves, go from November to March, and maybe you will be lucky, since the waves depend on specific conditions in the nature, so there is no guarantees you'll see them. Our tour guide (sorry, his name escapes me at the moment) is a surfer, so he told us interesting stories and gave good info about the big waves event. After Nazare we went to Obidos - a unique medieval town with narrow streets, interesting stores, ancient fortress wall that you can climb, street musicians... Just a beautiful vibe that brought us a great pleasure. The tour guide was very friendly. Thanks!!
The trip was wonderful. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. I wish we had more time in Óbidos. It was mentioned that we will get 3 hours in Obidos but we only got close to 1.5 hours
Grigore was excellent. He picked us up on time and we were only a group of four so it was very private. Grigore made an effort to connect with everyone and knew a great deal about each destination we visited. It was just enough time at each stop without being too long. The timing at each stop was perfect as we seemed to leave just as a large tour group was arriving. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this tour.
Trip to Nazareth and Obidos was wonderful and magical. Our guide Grigore was very nice and easy to talk to. I do think that they should utilize some type of mic system because it was hard to hear him at times. We had plenty of “unstructured” time to explore these areas on our own .
Our guide Grigore was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We had a great day!
Juan was a great guide. The whole bike ride was wonderful.Juan was great instructing us on e bikes which made it possible to do the seven hills with ease.He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and made each stop on the tour interesting.A 5 star experience
