Could've been better.

Reshma_A, Apr 2024
Was a an ok tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and guide us through the city well. Unfortunately there was miscommunication from the organizers that the guide wasn't aware that the tour included food tour. But the food we got was just Pastéis de nata and prawns rissóis. That barely qualifies as a food tour though. Could've been better in the organization and food aspects.
