Fascinating Journey Around Belém - Our tour with Federico in Belém was an enriching experience from start to finish! Federico's deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the rich history of Portugal to life, making every stop on the itinerary truly captivating. We began at the awe-inspiring Jerónimos Monastery, where Federico's insights into the monastery's historical significance made the visit incredibly rewarding. Next, we had a coffee (and pastel) break and then continued exploring the Monument to the Discoveries and iconic Belém Tower, where Federico's detailed explanations of its architectural and military details were super interesting. Federico was friendly, and coupled with his impressive expertise, we found his tour not just informative but also highly enjoyable. If you're in Belém, a tour with Federico is a must!

Amazing place with an exceptional guided tour! - The Mosteiro dos Jeronimos is an unmissable stop in Lisbon and visiting it with a guided tour is an experience that enriches you once outside. Federico, our CoolTours guide, was exceptional: full of information but without ever dwelling too much, he illustrated the historical-cultural context in which it was built and showed us details and curiosities about the building and the history of Portugal that otherwise we would never have seen or known. The guided tour lasts approximately one hour, including a visit to the church connected to the monastery. I highly recommend it!

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos with Federico - The visit to the Monastery of Jerónimos was a wonderful experience, an absolutely unmissable stop for those who want to discover Lisbon. The real added value of the tour, however, was our guide Federico. With competence, passion and great narrative ability, he accompanied us on a journey through time, explaining in an engaging way not only the history of the monastery, but also the cultural and historical context that surrounds it. The guide made the tour even more special by enriching the experience with anecdotes and details that we would hardly have caught alone. I highly recommend visiting the Monastery with a guided tour: its beauty is already extraordinary, but fully understanding its history and meanings makes everything even more interesting.

We learned a lot of... - We learned a lot of interesting facts about the monastery and the history of the area. The monument dedicated to the Discoverers was beautiful. The information provided by the guide explaining who each person was on the monument was very helpful in understanding the history and significance of this site.

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.

Skip the line convenient, but did not learn much about the Cloister and its history. - This Jeronimo tour is only good for the skip the line entry. I don’t believe our guide Bruno really had any historic knowledge of the cloister or the people that dwelled there. He brought his homeland Angola into the discussion which was not relevant to the cloister. He was late to meet the group, and the audio headsets were not always working well for many people. but for skip the line and getting in and out, it is convenient. We did not learn very much about the history of the cloister if that is something you are looking for.
