Instructive visit - As part of a business trip, we took a tour led by our passionate guide, Rafael, who shared his knowledge with us.

Best Guided Tour Ever!!!!!! - Before our plane landed in Lisbon, I was discouraged to find that there were no more 9:30 AM tickets for the day we want to visit the Jeronimos Monastery and that there's very sparse information at the site to explain the significance of the monastery so I decided to book a guided tour!! Before the plane landed in Lisbon, I decided to book the tour with The Jeronimos Tour because the bio indicated that the tour guide Rafael Pereira had once served in the Portuguese navy, done a lot of schooling to become a professional guide, lived in BELEM where the monastery is located, and all I had to book it was put down a deposit of 24 euros, which is what the actual tickets would cost. Voila! I immediately received confirmation via email from Rafael on the exact location and time to meet. Rafael totally exceeded our expectation as a guide! His English is perfect, and we learned so much about the significant accomplishments of the Portuguese explorers!! Furthermore, Rafael offered to meet us at 2pm again so he can provide us with a guided tour of the church that's tied to the Jeronimos Cloisters because there was a church service during our 9:30 visit. Rafael went beyond the call of duty in offering to meet us again for the church tour. I highly recommend that you book your tour with Rafael and no one else! He is not a commercial outfit but a passionate local guide! You will not find anyone better to guide you!!!!!!!!!

It’s a GO! - Raphael was very very knowledgeable about the history and architecture. He told us funny stories and linked everything together. He was very patient; the Monastery was potentially not open due to a strike, but we all waited and they did open. The buildings are beautiful! Well worth the time and money.

Jerónimos Monastery tour - Rafael is articulate in English and clearly intelligent. He described somewhat complex subjects that were intriguing and in a way everybody could understand. We strongly recommend him.

Geronimos and our tour guide were awesome - Rafael was an awesome guide. He was so knowledgeable and pointed out things we would never have seen ourselves. His knowledge of Portugal’s history in general was a bonus.

Cathedral currently under repair and unable to go to. - At the ticket office we were charged the full amount to see the cathedral and the cloister. They did not tell us that we could not see any of the Cathedral as it is under repair internally. Poor form to charge the full amount to only see a part of what we were expecting.
