Qué gran forma de conocer a Óbidos! Nos gustaron los puzzles y usar el mapa para encontrar las ubicaciones. Fue una experiencia divertida y amena. Hemos parado para descansar, comer chocolate y degustar algunas ginjinhas. Repetiremos este juego en nuestro próximo viaje a Lisboa!

Unterhaltsame Tour wie...

Susi_M, Apr 2023

Unterhaltsame Tour wie immer! Wir kannten Explorial schon von unserer Reise nach Spanien und haben gesehen, dass es das auch in Portugal gibt. Explorial ist gute Unterhaltung, bei der man auch etwas über die Stadt erfährt, wirklich zu empfehlen. Das war sicher nicht unsere letzte Stadt.
