Liliana é linda!

Great walking tour with Liliana across Bairro Alto, Baixa, Praça do Comércio, Alfama, and finished at the Graça to view the sunset. We learned insights of the disasters that broke down Lisbon and the rebuilding of those fallen neighborhoods by the 1st Marquis of Pombal. She received great praise by the locals while our tour group was in Alfama. I will always remember, Alfama é linda!

Excellent

Jose was a great tour guide. He was incredibly informative and approachable. He took us to all the local, hidden gems, right off the main touristy parts. Yet covering the history thoroughly and succinctly. Ending the tour in time for sunset at the castle was a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend this tour.

Very informative, with a side of humour :-)

We enjoyed our [private] tour with Lili - our good fortune to have her to ourselves! She was very knowledgeable, upbeat, and made sure we didn't step into traffic or upset other pedestrians! My son loved all the history tidbits and stored them to memory, pulling on random facts as we walked the city in the days afterwards. I loved learning about the current situation, daily life in Lisbon and the heroes such as poets, artists and peace keepers. Highly recommend!

Rita shared an extensive amount of information. She explained customs and why things were the way they were. She waited, with patience, when it took me longer to get up the hill. I recommend this tour very highly.
