DIVERTIDO, AMENO Y MUY INSTRUCTIVO

Nuestro guía Rafa es un maestro del arte y la arquitectura. Nos ha contado con todo lujo de detalles los secretos del Barrio de Belem, y ha conseguido lo que desde el principio nos dijo que era su objetivo: intentar que nos sumergiéramos en la cultura del lugar y que conociéramos un poco su historia. Muy recomendable!

Come stimolare la curiosità

Ottima esperienza, due tour veramente interessanti con due guide, Matteo e Silvestro, davvero entusiasti di trasmettere non solo informazioni ma curiosità di approfondire. Bravi!

Visite de Belem avec Mélanie

Magnifique visite réalisée avec brio par Mélanie, guide passionnée et passionnante qui nous a plongés dans l'âge d'or portugais. Mon seul regret: ne pas avoir pu faire d'autres visites avec elle.
