Jose!

Jose is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He shared the history of Baixa and Chiado in a fascinating way and kept the tour engaging from start to finish. His sense of humour and storytelling skills made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jose to anyone visiting Lisbon

Lisbon Essentials: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake

This was an amazing walking tour. James was a fantastic, knowledgeable and passionate guide. We learnt so much about Lisbon, as well as about Portugal in general. It was a hot day and he did a great pace, giving us lots of opportunity to rest and drink water. We also saw some interesting out of the way places. James also gave us some recommendations for dinner following the tour. We chose an old style restaurant that was in an old, disused casino. The meal was very traditional and possibly the best we have had so far in Portugal. The tour was fantastic, James was beyond unbelievable.
