El tour ha estado genial, Sara ha sido encantadora, muy dinámica y divertida, las explicaciones geniales con la información precisa para comprender la historia de Lisboa, además nos ha dado mucha información para visitar otros lugares, como Belén o Sintra, también recomendaciones de donde comer. A mitad del tour paramos para hacer un descanso y nos invitó a un pastel de nata, el mejor que hemos comido. Ha sido una experiencia muy grata y Sara ha estado fabulosa. Lo recomiendo 100%

this is a great way to see a fairly large part of Lisbon, and our tour guru, Maria, made it fun and paced it for all of the walkers (who varied in age considerably). i recommend it!

Muy buen tour, 100% recomendable. Nos explicó mucha información con buen humor y nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones. También nos llevo a un lugar a probar pastel, y a otro para probar un chupito típico. Quizás no tenía tanta historia cómo me habría gustado; más que un tour histórica, es un tour cultural con un poco de todo, cultura, historia, comida, etc. Pero nos gustó mucho!
