Pedro, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, charming and accomodating. He brought the history to life. There was no downside. Wish I could give more stars.
We had an excellent guide, Andre, who was very knowledgeable about the area, its history and points of interest. Each stop provided a different, memorable experience.

Thank you for your kind words! Gonçalo said that the tour was a great experience for him since the general interest of the group helped immensely to enhance the quality of the tour. Hope that you had an amazing time in Lisbon! See you soon,
An excellent tour guided by Gonsalo, a very sympathetic guide with historical accounts of all the sites visited, showing his gift of good communicator, with clear accounts with very accurate historical details that we liked very much. We were a family group of 4 people and highly recommend this tour. Francisco and family.
