Ivo was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about Obidos and history of Portugal. It was an enjoyable 2 hrs. Wish we had arranged a longer tour of the area.

Perfect introduction to the town Óbidos, Ivo was very knowledgable, friendly and attentive. We strolled through the castle and got to know the vast history of the buildings. Thank you Ivo!

Obidos itself is beautiful but it is better with a guide taking you to hidden spots and direct you to where to look and what to look for. We had a great time with JP. After the tour Obidos again looked different, now that we know the history and stories behind everything.

What a fantastic tour! If you like medieval towns, castles and history, then you’re in for a real treat. Ivo was great. He has a bunch of terrific stories, was able to answer all our random questions, and had us so interested in the town that we stayed for several hours afterward and just enjoyed the place. The place is incredibly cute, but we wouldn’t have enjoyed it nearly as much if we hadn’t done the tour and learned the history.

This was a fun, informative backdoor tour of historic Obidos. Our guide, Maria, was informative and engaging. We got to walk beautiful flower lined city streets, tour museums, and churches, walk-through the castle grounds and end with the queens liquor and dark chocolate. My 15 year old and I left smiling! Highly recommend this tour.

Had a fantastic morning with Ivo exploring the beaten path of Obidos. He was insightful and explained to us the story of the city, the rebuilding and finished the tour with ginja.

Charming walled village and our guide was excellent! The pick up spot was easy to find. I recommend comfortable flat shoes for walking on cobble stones.

Wonderful rendering of the deeply layered history of Óbidos and the surrounding area. JP was articulate, informed, and amusing. I especially liked visiting book stores and churches with accompanying tales. I highly recommend this tour!
