This is a huge modern aquarium without mammals except penguins, otters and a few birds. Tanks are enormous. They look like they are all one but in fact are divided by region.

But entry process is very slow. We had a quiet day and still we stood in a longish queue to get to ticket area. Plan for at least a 90 min visit or longer. DO NOT eat there. Caff food is awful! Better to go outside and head back to shopping mall across from metro stn. …

We booked this tour from Lisbon to visit the town of Obidos and Buddha Eden, the tour also included a visit to the seaside town of Peniche, where we toured a Fort, saw many panoramic vistas and enjoyed a lovely lunch. Our group enjoyed this portion of the tour so much. Our guide, Marcio was so charming. In addition to the history he shared with us, he also made our tour feel very personal. We spoke of serious topics at the Fort, he shared anecdotes and stories, he also showed us his favorite spot in Peniche, tucked away and hidden in the fishing village. Marcio was also very thoughtful of my mother in law, who uses a cane and modifying the tour for her needs. I will write separate reviews for the visits to Obidos and Buddha Eden, however they were much more fulfilling because of our guide. In Obidos one can be mesmerized by the charm of the town, but the stories and history shared with us, made our connection stronger. This will always remain a lovely memory of our surprise, last minute trip to Portugal. …

Visited with teenagers on Christmas Eve And was totally awesome! I must say that this one of or The best Aquarium today. It is super clean, friendly, with lots and lots to see. Short trip from the airport so many visitors spend couple of hours prior to their flights! Awesome experience…

Tugabuddies is much different than all tours as they customize your experience to what your interests are rather than having one set route and schedule. You choose what you want to do as you travel to the locations you want to explore. I would highly recommend this service over any other tour guides in Central/West Portugal. I viewed Pedro more as a local we were coming to visit, rather than an employee trying to make easy money off tourists. …
