Our tour was like visiting an old friend in his home town and visiting his favorite restaurants. We saw many sites and indulged in a variety of local specialties. We were surprised that "private" tour truly meant "private." Fernando was a sweet and accommodating host, and my wife immediately bonded with him. Our tour was definitely worth our time and a good value.

Food, wine, walking, culture, and history all in a four hour walk. This was a perfect way to get an overview of Lisbon, try some local foods, and learn a bit of history. The route minimized walking the hills by using a funicular and elevator. The guide was friendly, knowledable, and even provided great recommendations for the rest of our trip through Portugal. We also were able to adjust the food options due to food allergies.
Thanks in advance for your coments Paula, it is very important to keep given information during the tour for your next days, but also that you enjoy the moment with us. Also to show you some secrets of the city for you to be able to move in the city the best away. Thaks very much one's again
