Very Informative - Rui was great! We learned a lot about the role Portugal played in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. I think EVERY tour should include information about slavery. Really enjoyed it!

Fantastic tour and amazing tour guide! - This guided walking tour was so much more than we expected! Rui Fernandes, our guide, was articulate and very knowledgeable about the subject and other related matters. He gave the tour substance and structure, with historical background about other countries for context - really interesting. Rui was also attentive to our group’s needs. Please make sure that you ask him questions as it really does add to the experience and discussions throughout the tour. We would highly recommend booking this walking tour! From Henry & Michelle

Amazing experience - Very very informative and at a great pace. We got to explore the beautiful area while learning its history. I learned so much in top of what I already knew. This was the best tours I have had in Lisbon!

Thank you Rui! - Rui was an excellent host and guide for our tour. He was knowledgeable and not in a stuffy way at all. This was our first tour here in Lisbon and I don’t see how it can get any better. This is a must tour for anyone visiting Lisbon. Great pace visiting so many historical sites. Rui, we thank you for a superb outing. Kelvin and Ale

Slave Trade in Lisbon tour with Rui - The Historical Walking Tour about the slave trade in Lisbon with Rui was incredibly informative. Rui is passionate and well educated about history and answered any and all questions we had about this part of Portuguese history, as well as how this part of history impacted other people and cultures. Well done! I recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon, to get a unique perspective on Portuguese and African history rarely acknowledged or discussed. Thanks, Rui! NS

I'm a Black American and learned a lot about slavery - As an American, on tour with other Americans of different polical opinions, he did amazing correcting misinformation without pacifying opinions regarding slavery. Straight facts followed by receipts! Tour guide was Highly educated on the topic, and showed us a real world connection as well...his grandfather. Very knowledgeable and straightforwad, regardless if the truth hurts. How can one move forward if one refuses to acknowledge the past.

Informative and enlightening - This was an amazing tour. Rui our host was great and accommodated questions asked by the group with great knowledge. He stressed the importance of acknowledging Portugal's history and links to the slave trade in a really insightful way. Would definitely recommend.

Educational - Rui did an awesome job giving great explanation of the trans Atlantic slave trade and Portugal’s hand in it. Provided more information in a 3 hour walking tour than you would likely find anywhere else in Portugal ! Amazing 👏🏾

Informative experience! - Rui was phenomenal. He took his time and covered so much history. You can see that this is his passion. These were tough subjects that he covered with the honesty and dignity they deserved. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed. We were not aware until we got here how hard Portugal tries to hide its colonial past and history of slavery. Denial and misinformation everywhere. The truth is not even taught to the students in school in Lisbon. You can't find it mentioned anywhere. So glad we did this tour!

Excellent guide - Rui is an excellent guide, passionate and very well articulated. He knows his subject very well and answered questions remarkably well. The subject is tough, but necessary and important, and it is handled with sensitivity.
