Bad to terrible

Rick_C, Oct 2022

Poorly planned meeting location, was there for over an Hor on Tuesday and could not locate the Representative (Red Umbrella and Red Shirt). Call and was told to go back Thursday, found White Umbrella with Red Emblem and was told that the tour was cancelled for Thursday, Wasted 2 days with no tour, Requested refund and have no received any compensation. Very por service

Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to make multiple trips without being able to join the tour. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and your comments have been shared with our team as we continue improving our communication and meeting point procedures. Kind regards, Karla M SANDEMANs Team

Excellent tour

Chris_C, Jul 2022

Excellent tour! Bruno was very knowledgeable and informative and gave us some additional tips of things to see and do in the area. Thank you!

Good for getting the lay of the land

Jennifer_M, Jul 2022

Extensive walking tour, no stops for shade or to hydrate. Saw much of the sights of Belém, but only from the outside. It would have been more interesting to include at least one tour of either the tower or the monastery. Ending at the infamous Pasteis de Belém (sweets not included) was nice. Getting back to the original meeting point (not included) was frustrating but achievable (Uber).

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and please accept our apologies for the delay in responding. We've been reviewing older reviews one by one to ensure every guest receives a reply. We're pleased to hear that the tour gave you a good introduction to Belém and that you enjoyed finishing near the famous Pastéis de Belém. At the same time, we appreciate your thoughtful feedback. We understand that the amount of walking, particularly on warmer days, can be demanding, and we agree that opportunities to pause for shade or hydration are important. We also understand your wish to have visited one of the monuments from the inside. Our tour is designed as a walking introduction to Belém, focusing on the history and the exterior of its iconic landmarks, as entrance times and ticketing would significantly extend the duration of the experience. However, we appreciate that this may not have been clear from your expectations. We also regret that returning to the original meeting point felt inconvenient. Since the tour ends in Belém, many guests choose to continue exploring the area or return to the city centre independently using public transport, taxis, or rideshare services. Your comments have been shared with our team, and as we've been revisiting these older reviews, we can confidently say that we've continued refining the experience by improving pre-tour information and reviewing the pace and structure of the route to make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Thank you again for your balanced and constructive feedback. We hope to welcome you on another SANDEMANs experience in the future. Warm regards, Karla S. | SANDEMANs Tours

Portugal’s Golden Age

David_V, Jun 2022

Jamie was a fountain of historical facts about Portugal and Lisbon in particular. He shared many interesting and amusing historical anecdotes that brought the story of Portugal’s Age of Exploration to life. I recommend this tour to put your visit to Lisbon in a historical context.

Great guides made the trip!

Anne_S, Feb 2020

Fred was the best guy. He really made history so interesting and I was asking so many questions, which he as answered with passion. My only wish was that during thewinter hours of the public sites that the tour could start at 1 so we can continue to explore Belem after it concluded Definitely do this tour

Very informative!

Jennifer_P, Jul 2019

If you like history this is perfect! Staff was friendly and very informative! Tour guide was really nice! Perfect to see these sites if traveling alone.
