Valeria was a great guide. She was pleasant, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in the history of Lisbon. We would recommend this tour for those who are interested to learn about Lisbon's main landmarks and it's history.

"Free" walking tour

We paid a small amount to book the tour, however when we got there we were told the tour was free. We were then it informed to please tip the guide because she would have to pay her boss for the number of people on the tour.
