Visit to a very interesting ancient town with lots of history, terrific castle and great views across the countryside.

We did the August 5 Obidos self guided tour. Guide did not introduce herself. She was not interested in us. It was audio guided but she did not tell us the must-do trips. She also cut the tour by one hour!!! Tour was from 9 to 3 but she told us that we had to leave by 1 pm for Lisbon instead of 2 pm.

We are glad that we took this trip instead of trying to do it on our own. Bus was very comfortable. We started our journey from Lisbon at 9.00 am and were back at 2.15 pm. We were three travelers and accompanied by a company representative who briefed us on the tour schedule, pick-up/drop-off time and spots. Upon reaching Obidos we enjoyed some Ginjinha which was offered by the company. We had 3 hrs to spend on our own in Obidos which was perfect ( not too less or more).

Nice stone path too many small shop full of caractère beautiful book shop in a old church nice drink nice day out

The interactive self-guided tour was perfect for us as we had visited Obidos a year earlier, and had sights that we wanted to spend more time at - and some less. Required information was at our fingertips when needed, and we were able to 'turn off' when browsing shops, dining, etc. I must also mention that our guide/assistant Andrew was invaluable to us in getting set up; in addition, he was charming and informative. We would definitely recommend this tour to those not wanting the confinements of a traditional tour, but still wanting to experience marvellous Obidos!

<p>Premièrement, on nous avait oublié au point de rencontre... nous avons dû marcher jusqu'au Bureau Administratif et on nous a pris en charge pour aller vers Obidos. Deuxièmement, charmant village mais sans plus.</p>
