Lisbon: Old Alfama and Baixa Chiado Quarters Walking Tour! - Giovanna was a wonderful tour guide. Her partner side kick in-training was even all the more knowledgeable and could research things on google on the spot whenever she was doubtful about any historical dates, facts timelines! She was originally from Brazil but know a considerable bounty of facts across tour. We went through Lisboa’s Old Alfama and Baixa Chiado Quarters on a Walking Tour that was truly unforgettable - and packed with facts about politics, culture and flora and fauna.

Awesome walking tour with Ricardo - I had an amazing time om a walking tour of Lisbon with Ricardo! He knew the city inside out and shared fascinating stories that made the history come alive. The tour was well-paced, and Ricardo made sure we saw a lot without feeling rushed. A stand-up moment was when he showed me where to get the best pasties de nata - they were delicious! Ricardo also took me to some stunning viewpoints, which were perfect for capturing the beauty if Lisbon. If you want a fun and informative tour, Ricardo is your guy. Highly recommend!
