Beautiful history and fantastic fado - The Mouraria and Fado tour was absolutely amazing. Our Guide Hugo explained in detail and in a very entertaining way the history of this beautiful neighborhood and its cultural heritage. The Fado show at the end of the tour was the coolest thing I've ever lived and will remember for the rest of my life.

Belem tour - We took the Belem tour with Telma. She is an excellent guide. Her stories are memorable and informative and gave us an appreciation of Portuguese culture and some of the colorful characters that influenced Portugal's history. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely time in Belém - We did the walking tour in Belém with Alfredo. Having been to Belém once before without being very impressed, the guide did a good job showing the history of the places and the importance it had to Portugal in the past. Alfredo was a warm and funny guide who knew what he was talking about. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Extremely intresting and enjoyable tour! - We did the Belem tour and our guide was Telma. We passed along the main attractions of Belem while getting explanations and hearing stories about Portugal and its Golden Age of Discovery. Telma was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to!

A low key experience to Belem - Our guide Alfredo was not on form. his delivery was hesitant and he was more interested in us buying pastries (so he could stop for a smoke) than packing in more tour experience. Tour was long drawn out and others found it equally boring.
