Federico was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging throughout the entire experience. He made sure every question was answered thoroughly and brought a depth of insight that truly enriched the tour. The visit to Jerónimos Monastery was a standout! thanks to Federico, we gained historical context and fascinating details we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Highly recommend this tour if you want to walk away with more than just pictures!

Communication - Updates needed

Gladys_G, Jul 2025

It was an ok tour, the guides were young and knowledgeable about the places we visited. However, we were told the tour started promptly at 9am, and to arrive a few minutes early (completely understandable). But, the monastery Jerónimos doesn’t even open until 9:30am, so we waited about 45min outside just waiting to get in, we got there at 8:45am. There were no guides with blue or yellow flags either as the email stated- just the guides and you had to ask a few times to find which group you belonged with to check in. Confusing and not accurate! Also, there was no communication about the Belem tower being under construction, so we didn’t even go there - the advertisement is not updated or correct. The title is “Best walking Tower of Belem” we didn’t even go into the Belem town to explore or the tower as noted above. The total time was about 2hrs and 30min, and the overall experience details said it would be about 4hrs! Again, not as advertised or expected.

History & context to enrich the Lisbon experience!

Meagan_M, Aug 2024

Great tour made better by our guide, Bruno. He was thorough and clear, and obviously cares about helping folks “connect the dots” with historical context, even linking some of the explanations to current day events. It’s also nice to go in the morning before it gets too hot. Also a perfect location to arrive a little early and get some Pastel de Belem just up the street.
