“Obidos was very picturesque and a cute quaint town. Nazare had cliffside breathtaking views of the city and beach. The tour guide was great! I wish we had a bit more free time in Porto, but the walking tour does show you all the big sites and you have time to grab lunch on your own. Definitely would recommend! Wear comfortable shoes because it’s a lot of walking.”

Day 2 Fatima, Nazarae and Obidos our guide Carla was terrible. Her driving was unsafe as she kept crossing over the lines on the highway.

The only negative --and I do not get seasick--it is a rocky and often cold ONE HOUR crossing from Peniche to the island.
