Top 10 Walking Tours in Obidos, Central Portugal

September 3, 2021 Toi Mattera

When 13th-century Portuguese Queen Isabel passed through Obidos and marveled at its beauty, her husband King Denis I simply gave it to her. For centuries after, the kings of Portugal followed suit, presenting the picturesque little town to their queens as a wedding gift. With its white buildings shining as brightly now as then, the walled city of Obidos is very popular with tourists, its hillside location offering amazing views of the Estremadura area. The medieval castle is a main attraction.

After some confusion between the Booking company and Lanebus, which made the driver arrive a bit later, I was very impressed form the service is given by Lanebus, a very professional driver very helpful and courteous, lovely smooth ride with a great quality vehicle. On the day of the return trip, I have received all the information indicating where the driver was and how long would be to reach me, what a WONDERFUL service. I have no issues with booking or recommend Lanebus.

Ivo is really an amazing guide. We were lucky enough to visit 2 places with him : Peniche by the ocean and the medieval village of Obidos. Ivo has a very wide knowledge regarding these two places and also the whole region. He knows absolutely everything. Listening and discovering these beautiful places with Ivo was the best thing we could hope for. Ivo is passionate and make us want to hear more about the history, culture and people of Portugal. We highly recommend him and Silver Coast Traveling. We had a great time and would love to be able to come back and see more with Ivo of course.

Reviewed By Jessica B

This tour mentioned that we would go to Pena palace, unfortunately the roads were closed and as an alternative, we had lots of free time to visit another palace which wasn’t too interesting or very impressive. Also, we had to pay for the entry into Sintra, which was disappointing. The tour also mentioned going to the casino, went in fact you just drive past it?! The only positives were: Sintra was lovely and the restaurant in Cascais did excellent food (which isn’t part of the tour). Overall, I would read the inclusions/exclusions before booking this tour. Very disappointing.
