Tiers decide whether hotel pickup and a ginjinha tasting are in; lunch is not, and the stairs and cobbles rule out mobility difficulties. 4.78 from 65 reviews at €69 per person. In our comparison: #9 of 13 in Óbidos Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview The tour begins in the charming medieval Villa Óbidos, where the walls and castle transport in time. Through the narrow streets, you can taste the traditional ginjinha, served in its typical cup, while admiring the beauty of the blooming white houses. The journey follows to Nazaré, with a stop at the iconic lighthouse of the Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo, from where you can observe the famous giant waves of Praia do Norte. At Sitio da Nazaré, enjoy panoramic views of the bay and the Villa da Nazaré, which completes the tour with its genuine fishing atmosphere and lively streets. It is a day that combines history, taste and nature in an unforgettable experience. - Professional and experienced Guide. - Minimum of 2 people per Reservation. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 381 pickup points - Starts 09:00: one departure a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €55: ages 2 to 5 **Pickup:** Hotel pickup from 381 pickup points ## Key facts - Price: from €69 per person for the Tour & Meeting option; other options up to €97 - Duration: 8h - Rating: 4.78/5 from 65 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: ZOOM Travel - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: Portuguese, English, Italian, Spanish - Start times: 09:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-08-31 ## Reviews 4.78 from 65 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 63 of 65. - 5 stars: 57 (88%) - 4 stars: 6 (9%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 2 (3%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the guides and free time in both towns; the recurring caveat is that giant waves are not always seen at Nazaré. **Praised:** - Friendly guides who explain local history and answer questions - Guided visits balanced with free time to explore independently - Óbidos's medieval streets, castle and local shops - Small groups with personal attention from the guide **Complaints:** - Some visitors were disappointed not to see giant waves at Nazaré - Communication failures over confirmed bookings and hotel pickup Written by Guidekin from the 45 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2026-02-06 to 2026-10-01); last checked 2026-10-03. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Tour & Meeting | €77 / person | Spanish, Italian, English, Portuguese | Hotel HF Phoenix Lisbon | | Tour & Pick-up | €97 / person | Spanish, Italian, English, Portuguese | Search at the hotel or accommodation: This option has Pick Up and Drop Off at the same hotel or accommodation | ## What's included - Professional and Certified Tour Guide - Bottled water - Air-conditioned vehicle ## Not included - Lunch ## Itinerary 1. **Castelo de Obidos** (30m) - The castle of Óbidos, one of the 7 wonders of Portugal, has Roman and Moorish origins, being fortified by the Moors and reconquered by D.
