Customer Reviews
Óbidos sounds absolutely enchanting. My heart was won by its castle walls and narrow, cobblestone streets. Drinking Ginja out of a chocolate cup was heaven. Fatima introduced a calm peace, and Nazaré had some real views.
Óbidos was a charming historical contrast. This trip combined the best of Portugal from port, should you be tired of drinking the wine at dinner... and I doubt you will be...
This tour was really a discovery, from the spiritual retreat that is Fatima to the thrilling cliffs in Nazaré and such a fairytale streets in Óbidos. And every beautiful moment that happened, came alive with our guide’s commentary.
Getting to be present at Fatima and feel the weight of its spiritual import is quite an experience. And those panoramic ocean views From Nazaré, were gorgeous.
Our guide really made this day trip extra special with interesting commentary both at Fatima, Nazaré and Óbidos. Each site had its own appeal – beautiful and spiritual and a good mix of natural and historical.
