Beautiful Belem - The starting point was easy to find and Sara easy to spot with her orange umbrella. Sara is a friendly and fun lady who is great at what she does. Hugely informative and really entertaining. She clearly has a head full of history and laces her tours with fun facts to bring the places alive and keep things really interesting. Belem is a very beautiful place full of amazing statues and buildings that Sara bought to life and gave great texture and colour to. We would thoroughly recommend this tour and particularly a tour with Sara. Thank you!!

Explorers galore! - Jose Tenorio was an excellent guide; in spite of the intense heat he has managed to make the Belem story extremely interesting. An attractive combination of history, adventure stories, and amusing anecdotes. Once you have done the basic Lisbon city tour, this is clearly an essential add-on. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour - strong recommendation for anyone visiting Belem interested in historical context - We were pleasantly surprised at the high quality and enjoyment level of this tour. Sara (our guide) enthusiastically provided in depth historical context of the area along with cultural and local insights. It was truly amazing to understand how Portugal has historically influenced many areas of the world during the time of exploration. A recommended must for anyone visiting Belem!

Excellent Tour with good historical perspective - Great Tour! Sara was engaging throughout, and while some may believe that’s the history is rich, content was very well laid out in my view. One of the best (if not the best) walking tours i’ve been on over past last week. Well done
