Full Day Packed with Awesome Sights - Traveling to Lisbon by cruise ship. Half hour uphill walk to starting point of tour. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and spent a very full day walking us around some of Lisbon's historic neighborhoods. We had lunch in an upscale food court area with lots of choices and then took a short train ride to Belem. He navigated the sights and crowds with ease. Belem was not to be missed - the pastries were delicious, the monastery was spectacular, and Belem Tower and Monument to Discoveries were all wonderful to see! We logged 20,000 steps over the day, which we were up for! He offers 1/2 day tours for someone looking for less walking. Would not hesitate to recommend him for tours!!

Best Lisbon tour, The best! - What a wonderful tour we experienced with Andriy. He greeted us promptly at 10 AM. We were the only ones on the tour. He knew SO MUCH!! The history, dates and he just went on and on with information. My back is not the best and he always asked if I needed to stop and rest etc… We stopped for coffee in the morning, lunch in Belem and a pastry which was to die for. The neighborhoods that we walked through were places we never would have gone to. For me personally, the Monastery in Belem was fabulous. Thank you Andriy for a most memorable time in Portugal. We will be back!

Jam-packed with sites and information! - This was an extremely thorough tour! We saw so much of Lisbon and Belem. Rui worked to tailor the tour to our needs. He was very accommodating and working around our physical limitations given that my mother is 79. Highly recommend!

must do - had the pleasure of this trip yesterday. The guide was informative, good English and was very passionate about the tour. We went at a good pace so I didn't feel rushed or we were going to slow that we were missing things. After lunch where I was taken to a lovely local place near the monastery but away from the tourist area we went to the monastery it self which was just amazing, Again the guide knew lots about it and made it very interesting. As a solo traveller I would definitely recommend this tour as a good way to see Lisbon.
