Pedro was an excellent guide, friendly, humerous, happy to answer the million questions i had about Portugal's history, and instinctively went at a comfortable pace for me. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect guide. Thank you, Pedro!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear Pedro made your experience exceptional with his friendly and accommodating approach. We’ll pass along your thanks to him. If you need any further assistance, just let us know!

Disappointing walk with no local history or gems

Amanda_R, Oct 2022

Let me preface this review by stating I’m usually a 4 or 5 star reviewer. Our tour guide was Paul. Paul was a nice guy, but that’s where it stopped. Paul was not Portuguese, he was from Nigeria. He had very little local knowledge, knew no hidden gems and spoke very bad english with a very difficult to understand accent. He took us to very very touristy places that we had mostly already visited alone. We had to inform him that the famous Lisbon earthquake and tsunami happened in 1755, and that a fish name translated to cod. We expected a tour guide with knowledge of the history and culture of both Lisbon and Portugal, that is not what we got. We were very very disappointed since we had read such good reviews of this company tour. Perhaps if we had been given a different guide it would have been excellent. Ours wasn’t

Disappointed

Kurt_V, Apr 2022

We communicated via email with our guide the day before. We waited at the pre-determined meeting spot for 45 minutes and he never showed up. It was our first day in Lisbon and we were waiting with our two children. Made our first day more stressful than it should have been. Luckily, we grabbed a random Tuk Tuk and turned the day around with an awesome tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hi, I am very sorry that we let you down. I believe there was a misunderstanding with the guide and that we fully refunded you. I know that this is not enough to remedy the situation but am very happy to hear that you turned the day around and made it awesome. We normally give exceptional tours in Lisbon and I am sorry that this time we did not. Best wishes, Nick
