Good overall for first timers

Chris_V, Apr 2025
Good overall - our guide was nice and informative but we could have done most of these activities on our own. I think his English could use improvement as we struggled to understand several communication exchanges.

Historical winding streets with Maya

Michael_R, Mar 2025
Seeing Lisbon on foot is the best with Maya learned the old and new in Lisbon. Perfect tour. Always was interested in our comfort level. Private is the only way to go

A walking tour through Lisbon

Blythers, Oct 2023
Very informative tour, Maia was excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and engaging, who knew Lisbon & Lisbon’s history very well. Makes Lisbon much more enjoyable when little but important details are pointed out and explained. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏

Our guide was the best. He was so...

ROBERTG_P, Feb 2018
Our guide was the best. He was so full of information and facts. Really know his job. Had a private van and he took us all over Lisbon. We asked to be taken away from the crowds and more of the local places. He did and we were very happy he did. We ate in a local market, had Lisbon famous cake away from town and enjoyed a wonderful day. Highly recommended.

Tour guide lacked information. Nice...

Christine B, Jun 2017
Tour guide lacked information. Nice man however not fully prepared to answer basic information. It appeared that the number of tourists visiting Lisbon is straining the tourist infra structure.

Our driver, Rod, met us at the ship...

Phyllis J, Oct 2016
Our driver, Rod, met us at the ship on time. His English was excellent and he was enthusiastic about Lisbon. I had a list of places I wanted to visit. He did all of them, plus some additional areas. He was cooperative and went out of his way to assist us up steps when there was no railing. He made an effort to drop us off or pick us up near the sight so we did not have long walks over the cobblestones. We were with Rod for 7 hours and he was cheerful and cooperative the whole time. He was knowledgeable about the city and eager to share with us. I would rate him A as a guide. Phyllis

Cidade de Lisboa

Delorme_L, Nov 2019
Lugares bonitos....mas o nosso Gui não estava com a placa com o.meu nome...o quê no Arco da Rua Augusta dificultou bastante a identificação, necessitando ir a um telefone e ligar para a Central...também pouco disponível o nosso Guia Paulo....mas cumpriu todo o trajeto determinado.

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Boa tarde caro Delorme, Desde já muito obrigado pelo seu feedback! De facto tem razão, de vez em quando é mais difícil os nossos guias se encontrarem com os nossos viajantes. Estamos sempre a horas no ponto de encontro, mas com muitas pessoas á nossa volta, pode falhar. Lisboa está sempre cheia de turistas (graças a deus... ;-) e o que aconteceu consigo, lamentavelmente, pode ocorrer. Este é um dos pontos, que ainda estamos a ver como melhorar. Mas ou menos depois de falarmos, tudo se resolveu… :-) Com os melhores cumprimentos, esperamos ter-vos de volta num futuro próximo e sem “falhas”. Joao Dickmann
