This was one of the best experiences I have had thus far. Édi was a phenomenal guide with great recommendations, excellent with answering questions and explaining the significance of each place we stopped and how it is relevant to today.

My wife and I wanted to learn more about the history of Lisbon and chose to do this walking tour. It was exactly what we were looking for! Our guide, João, had a wealth of knowledge to share with us, and he was extremely personable and friendly! We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon!

Stefano was a wonderful guide. A true historian! Walking pace was not too fast, just a lot of steps and hills to navigate. Beautiful view from the top of the castle!

The guide knew the answer to all questions and was super friendly! The views from the castle are amazing. Learn from my mistake and wear running shoes though. Had a great time!
