Lisbon: Dinosaur Footprints, Caves, and Obidos Tour

We had an absolutely wonderful day! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable (Francisco) welcoming, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. We learned so many new things while enjoying great conversation throughout the tour, which made the experience even more memorable. The sights were beautiful, and everything was well organized from start to finish. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to take everything in. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area—it was one of the highlights of our trip!

Francisco provided a fun and immersive experience and used a wide spread of knowledge of the country’s history. He has a massive collection of great facts and stories about Portugal and he brought a great fun and positive energetic presence. He is a wonderful guide and has a great sense of humour and personality. Francisco brought joy to me and my family and we are greatly appreciative of the experience. Portugal is a beautiful country and deserves much more attention, especially in the areas he brought us to. The villa, caves and the dinosaur park are a wonderful place to take a break from the busy streets of the city of Lisbon, especially in areas like the small towns and countryside that is located outside of the city. The restaurants he recommended were absolutely fantastic and the food was perfection. I would recommend this experience to anybody looking for a nice tour outside of the city and in the more isolated areas of the beautiful country of Portugal.

We loved this tour! Francis is an amazing guide who goes above and beyond to create a very interesting and enjoyable experience. We definitely recommend it, especially to dinosaur lovers

Fantastic experience, Pedro the guide in Spanish is the ultimate

Great experience with Francisco on this tour. My partner and I were the only ones who booked on this particular day so we essentially got a private tour along with our infant. Francisco was early to the meeting point and extremely patient with us as we attended to the baby all day (sorry for the crying Francisco!). He was very friendly, knowledgable on a variety of topics and well prepared. The dino footprints were really cool to see. They seem to be undiscovered by tourists and we were the only ones there when we visited. The cave was also great and had features that I hadn't seen in other caves. The tours there are timed so you'll be taken through with a group of people. Since the cave explanation was only given in Portugese, Francisco came in with us and translated / explained for us. Lastly, Obidos was also great, with two hours of free time given to eat and explore. You can walk atop the city walls, try some ginja and browse the shops. All in all, a great variety tour with a professional guide who is very accommodating. We had a very relaxed and comfortable experience.

What a fantastic tour! Francisco our guide was amazing! So much information! We started at the cave, which was breathtaking! We were lucky as not many people were there so lots of opportunity to take pictures. Francisco also took some great pictures of us. Next was the Dinosaur tracks. We couldn’t do the first location because of weather but that did not deter Francisco. He had a plan B . He took us to a limestone quarry that had amazing 3 toed dinosaur footprints. Truly fascinating. They did exist 🦖🦕Next was the beautiful medieval 🏰 town of Óbidos. The fact these places remain in tact is amazing. You can walk the walls , if you dare. We had a lovely lunch, checked out the local merchants and just soaked it all in. This tour is well worth doing. Francisco is a wealth of information. Thank you for a great day. One we won’t forget.

I was lucky to be alone with the guide, low season period. Beautiful day living up to my expectations. For the dinosaur footprints portion, it’s a shame that there is not more de facto preservation on the site. The caves are simply breathtaking. For the visit of the city Obidos, I would have stayed longer than 2 hours. There was the Christmas village, although focused on children, the elves had as much fun with adults! The scenery is spectacular. A big thank you to my guide of the day Francisco, gives a lot of information and historical facts, just wonderful!!

We had a really good day with Francisco, everything felt easy and relaxed and we never felt rushed at all, the itinerary worked well and we saw some really nice places along the way, our kids enjoyed it as well which made the day even better, overall it was a really good experience and we were happy we booked it
