Don’t miss this walking tour in the old city - Great to see Roman ruins preserved inside a modern hotel - excellent, and good that we had access. Ricardo and Eduardo were super guides, we felt good rapport with them.

We loved the Jewish street, and the courtyard with the orange tree. The sudden silence was surprising and refreshing. - Giovanna was an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun to be with. She has a clear love of Lisbon and was well prepared and interesting. We loved it!

Bad experience with the tour - I'm not happy with the walking tour I choose since it's difficult to find out where the tour group is, even I already stand by there.
