Excellent tour - Our guide Francisco was incredibly knowledgeable and provided us a personalized experience customized to our interests. We learned not just about the castle but also essential information about the ancient history of Portugal and how that history connects to the town of Obidos.

Very worthwhile and enjoyable! - Xavier is extremely knowledgeable and conveyed the history in an informative, easy manner. He was able to answer all of our questions. Taking this tour made our visit much more meaningful. Note that the tour starts just outside the main gate.

Extensive history, good details. - Our guide was super knowledgeable. He gave us an extensive history of Óbidos, with emphasis on the kings, queens and princes. (A little overwhelming there). I really appreciated his explaining the ins and outs of life in Óbidos, the strictures on renovations, how supplies enter the village, where the water comes from, things like that. I also appreciated his honesty about the nuances of Portuguese history -- the "soft inquisition," the "hard inquisition." And some details about life under the dictatorship. Overall, I'm very glad we took the tour.
