Great tour, Best Guide - The city of Obidos was beautiful, and Mafra was great (very cool library room). But I'm writing the review to shout out our awesome tour guide Rod. He was so friendly informative and he had the best food recommendations both during the tour and after when we were back in Lisbon. This was one of the best days of the trip. Thanks again Rod.

History does not need to be boring!! - We not only enjoyed the itinerary, but it was our guide Ricardo who made it more than a photo opportunity….he was a delight with his gentle manners, knowledge and subtle sense of humour while walking in Mafra and Obidos, pointing out so many interesting little facts about the history of each place! A true gentleman of Lisbon!!

Stepping back in time - Both locations we toured were so historical and without the knowledge of our tour guide we would have been lost

Excellent Day Trip to Obidos & Mafra Palace - Obidos & National Palace of Mafra were simply incredible. Thoroughly enjoyed our private visit of each amazing place with our wonderful tour guide, Rodrigo! Rod made the day trip for us, spending a few hours at Obidos & Mafra Place and sharing his excellent knowledge of each as we toured the walled city of Obidos and the spectacular Mafra Palace. Everything was just perfect!!

Obidos - Obidos is a beautifull place with very friendly and humble people. I prefer to be more time on Obidos instead of Mafra. The guide is very friendly with us but on time have a road rage with others.
