Guilherme was an exceptional tour guide! Knowledgeable, funny, accommodating and I could go on! Thank you for a fantastic tour that kicked off our portugal adventures!
Natalia was great and very informed on the history of Portugal. We got to try Portugal egg tart, which is a popular treat and as well as their cod fish sandwich and green wine. There were lots of scenic routs as well!
William was an excellent guide. Super friendly and engaging. He gave us so many details about the history of the city. We covered a good amount of area. It was definitely worth the time and money to get to really know Lisbon.
Amazing tour! Our guide, Philipe, was amazing. He’s very knowledgeable, friendly, and amazing tour guide. We saw the best of Lisbon and highly recommend this tour!!
Great tour, our guide was wonderful
brilliant tour with a brilliant guide Jose. We visited a lot of the central area of Lisbon which gave us an idea of places we would like to revisit. Josef is an engaging guide who made the tour both informative and fun. We got to try a couple of local foods and the local vino verde, included with the ticket. The only slight blip was the meeting point statue was surrounded by fencing as there was a market in the square and we didn’t know where tomato had to keep doing circuits of the perimeter. Once we found Jose everything abou the tour was good.
Good walking shoes essential, there's some inclined to walk but the pace is good and broken up with the stops. If you're good you get treats 😉
Lisbon is a beautiful city, full of history and places to discover. Walking the city center with Filipa was an absolute delight! It was a hot summer day and she took care of our group, showing us escalators and lifts not listed on the maps, and showing us around giving us lots of suggestions of things to do later.
Felipa was super knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our tour. I learned a lot and tried some great spots. Highly recommend!
An excellent tour with our excellent guide Filipa. A great way to get your bearings in the city with a couple of great snack stops included. Highly recommended.
