Very interesting, Frederico was great - Our guide Frederico was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the monastery and Lisbon and Belem. The monastery security were not nice and made our group leave because they said we stayed too long.

Easy to do this 4 hour tour! - Well organized, easy to find him ! We were first in line for the monastery! Federico told us all the great stories of this magnificent place, with all the ribbons of history weaving a many centuries old tale. Remember to take a city tour in Rio on your vacation😊

A must see experience. - The Jerónimos Monastery was absolutely breathtaking, both inside and out. Having a the right guide really accentuates the overall experience and Federico was the right guide. He was very well informed on the history and legend behind the beautifully carved stones and his passion made the tour fun and engaging. I highly recommend Federico from The Cooltours.

History & context to enrich the Lisbon experience! - Great tour made better by our guide, Bruno. He was thorough and clear, and obviously cares about helping folks “connect the dots” with historical context, even linking some of the explanations to current day events. It’s also nice to go in the morning before it gets too hot. Also a perfect location to arrive a little early and get some Pastel de Belem just up the street.

Very informative tour - An excellent tour through the monastery and cathedral followed by a walk to the Monument to the Discoveries then Belém Tower. Our guide (apologies to him but we forgot his name - maybe Federico?) was very passionate and informative about every aspect - history, architecture, culture. Probably the most information you will get on any tour in Lisbon.

Amazing tour - Amazing tour in the Jeronimos. We were there very early and were the first ones to come inside. Our tour guide Rick knew everything about the history of Portugal and the Jeronimos itself. It was very interesting!

Pick Any other option. Awful tour operator!! - Absolutely the worst tour guide. Instead of learning about the monestary and history of the building, we were subjected to a three hour rambling history tour of 50 years of Lisbon. I can’t say enough bad things. So angry we wasted our money!! The guide was from Italy. Telling, at the end of the chapel tour he skipped Jerónimos tomb. AWFUL!!! Wish we could receive a refund!!!
