Templar's Castle, Nazaré and Obidos - Our tour guide Joao Pedro picked us up on time at the hotel. We started our tour to Templar's Castle, Nazaré and Obidos. The tour guide was very knowledge, friendly and professional, he also explained the history of the places that we visited. We loved Obidos, the town is so beautiful with a lot of shops/restaurant. We got lunch at a restaurant that he recommended and the food and the service were good. We had a great time.

Great Guide and Great Itinerary - Our guide made history come alive for us, and his English was excellent. We enjoyed every place we visited, and we even liked the picnic in the van during a rain storm.

Fabulous castles and history - Our guide Gui was fabulous! I shared so much of the history with us. This tour it’s a quite long day, but he was especially mindful of our capabilities as we are older and sometimes have a hard time walking. But he made sure we saw all the wonderful things we were expecting. The Knights Templar Castle and Óbidos were the highlights of the tour. I would definitely recommend this to others who enjoy history and castles!

Great day tour from Lisbon - The presentation included both the history of the sites but interwoven with our guide’s personal history. You felt like a friend was showing you around their hometown. Lots of interesting information our guide provided insights and suggestions for all the other locations we planned to visit in addition.

Great Trip - We had the good fortune of being the only participants on the tour of the Templar Castle, St Nazaré & Obidos. This was made a memorable trip by the wide ranging information which our guide, Jose, shared with us. We felt there was little he did not know of his subject matter and refreshing that if unsure of the answer to a question, he told us so. Jose even followed up by texting suggestions on reading material, restaurants and other sights to see. Overall a great experience in great company!

Stormy weather, but still a hit - Turned out my “small group” was just me! A private tour! Gui was very knowledgeable about Portuguese history and very charming. The weather was not the best for Nazare and Obidos, but the Templar’s castle was thoroughly amazing. A highlight of my trip.

Amazing tour - you need to do this ! - Antonio was the perfect guide - friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon and we toured Tomar Castle, Nazaré and Óbidos. I learned so much about Portuguese history and the Knights Templar. Everyone should be visiting this castle/cloister! It is amazing ! We had a nice lunch on our own in Nazaré and walked down to see the huge waves at the beach. Our final stop in Obidos was a walk back in time to a medieval walled town. Adorable shops and cafes lined its cobblestone streets. You will love it !! Don’t delay and book a tour with Jump in tours today !!!
