This is a cliff-top area 110 meters (360 feet) above the ocean, popular for its amazing views. There is a small chapel here that was built after 1182 by a local nobleman Dom Fuas Roupinho, to thank, Virgin Mary for saving his life here. Not far away from here, there is a baroque church built in the 17th century (Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Nazaré). You should relax here for a while and try a typical local restaurant for lunch.

It was founded at the top of a hill where was possible to overlook the ocean, but the bay gradually silted up. Is since the 15th century a landlocked town. But Obidos it’s not only about medieval architecture, but it’s also about animated festivals, bookstores, small museums, chocolate and ginjinha (cherry-liqueur; 1 per person is included in the price).

Great tour - Great tour and even better tour guide with Diogio! My only thing was the trip to Nazare. We were limited on time and we're told to grab a table order food and then walk around until food was them. The restaurant would not allow it so didn't have much time to explore. Other than that tour was great

Racism. - Amazing experience. Not to be missed. Guide did a great job. Not related to this tour, we saw extreme organized racism in Nazare where two different restaurants in the central square (Senhora d Nazare) refused to serve food to one black lady (who was traveling in our van). Bad bad representation of Portugal by the PORTO BELLO and MAR A VISTA restaurants who refused to seat this lady despite other customers speaking up for her.

Best Experience Ever - I went with LiLy (I believe I’m horrible with names) I think her full name was liliana. I changed guides to stay with friends who purchased tickets separate from me. She was fun, knowledgeable, reliable, respectful, and exceptional compassionate. It was the best experience ever!!

Great Tour - Great Guide (Thank you Ricardo!) - Fantastic way to see famous landmarks outside of Lisbon. Ricardo was a great guide and provided insightful information at every stop we made. He continuously surveyed the group to see if everyone is on board with the schedule or if we wanted more/less time at specific attractions. This degree of flexibility was a nice bonus to have. Would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a quality guided tour while in Lisbon.
