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!

Fabulous tours of Belem and Alfama - We (party of 3 senior women from the US and Australia) took 2 tours in Lisbon with our tour guide, Telma, (one in Belem, one in Alfama), and both were fabulous. Telma is very knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon, and brings it to life by connecting it to the various monuments. Also, her English is flawless, so she's very easy to listen to, and I could just focus on the information instead of trying to decipher an accent. There is a lot of information provided, but she does it in a light hearted, matter-of-fact manner, which makes it easy to absorb. I highly recommend Telma and Blue Emotion Tours.

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.
