We had a fantastic tour of Óbidos and Nazare with Paulo. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Portuguese history in general and made the history of Obidos come alive for us. This is a special town aptly known a the prettiest town in Portugal. While we didn’t see the huge waves Nazare is known for, the visit to the coast was wonderful and we had a delicious lunch at a spot Paulo recommended. I hope you will get a chance to meet Paolo- we throughly enjoyed spending the day with him!
Our recent family trip to Óbidos and Nazaré in Portugal was truly exceptional, largely thanks to our wonderful guide, Paulo. His extensive knowledge and passion for the history and culture of these places brought our experience to life in the most engaging way. Starting with Óbidos, Paulo led us through the medieval walled town with great enthusiasm. He entertained us with fascinating tales about the town's history as we walked along its picturesque cobblestone streets, underneath vibrant bougainvillea. The highlight in Óbidos was tasting the local cherry liqueur, Ginjinha, served in edible chocolate cups, a delightful treat Paulo recommended. In Nazaré, Paulo knew exactly when to visit the beach to avoid the crowds and catch the best views of the famous giant waves. His connection with local surfers provided us insider insights into the surfing world, enhancing our appreciation of Nazaré’s unique culture. Another highlight was where Paulo pointed out hidden gems and the best spots for panoramic photos of the Atlantic Ocean. Both Óbidos and Nazaré offered us a perfect mix of history, culture, adventure, and relaxation, all enriched by Paulo's expertise and warm hospitality. I highly recommend booking a tour with him if you are planning a visit. This trip was a five-star experience, packed with laughter, discovery, and the charm of Portugal, thanks to Paulo!
Ovidos is an enchanting little town fully surrounded by walls, absolutely enchanting. Nazare is a gorgeous beach town which boasts 30 meter waves, quiet beach town but also beautiful in its own right.
