Storybook castle on the hill - We enjoyed our tour of this picturesque little town. It is the full medieval experience! Our guide Ivo was knowledgeable and had lots of interesting stories about the history of Obidos and greater Portugal as well. This town is all hills and the stone streets can be slippery when wet. Wear your good hiking shoes!

Lovely afternoon tour of Obidos - Maria took us on an in depth tour of this very interesting town. We enjoyed our tour thoroughly. Before the tour, we had a chance to walk almost all the way around the town on the medieval walls. We’d highly recommend doing that as well.

great tour with a great local guide! - Ivo was a great local guide, very attentive to our small tour group. It downpoured for a few minutes as the tour started and Ivo graciously offered a refund to anyone who didn't want to brave the weather. We all continued and were rewarded with a tour of Obidos past and present. Highly recommended!

Excellent - Our guide Ivo was very knowledgeable, definitely strived to give us maximum information about the history of Obidos/portugal. Friendly professional, outstanding job. The tour elevated Obidos from a overly touristy location to a true place in portugals history He took us to some places we would never otherwise see or fully appreciate. I deconsecrated church converted into a bookstore, a bookstore that also sells some produce , both reflecting Obidos as a literary city. Well done Ivo
