Great day trip from Lisbon to Obidos and more - I had a fantastic day with Hugo. Not only did we see Obidos, we went to Sintra to see the town (very picturesque) and the Peña Palace. Lastly, we drove down the coast to the monument to the Westernmost pony on the European continent, followed by a drive through Cascais before returning to Lisbon. Hugo was a great tour guide and made everything about the day very special.

Beautiful day in Obidos, Nazare and Alcobasa! - Hugo was a WONDERFUL guide and we enjoyed getting to know him and the history he shared about the visits to Obidos and Alcobasa. This was an interesting and varied day with medieval village, chapel with beautiful blue tile on all the walls, Nazare to see the high waves and fishing village, then on to Alcobasa with delicious pastries and a visit to the monastery. All in all a lovely and memorable day that introduced us to Portugal, history and their foods. High recommend a day with Hugo. Many thanks!
