To repeat - The visit seemed short. All the information provided was interesting and of interest. Perhaps too many details of how freetours work and we, who have already done this type of tour on several occasions, found it a bit repetitive. It was obvious that he knew a lot about Porto and the history was very interesting.

Great walk through the city with comments from guide Irene - Irene's way of telling us the story for many of the city of Lisbon has been masterful. You can tell that he loves what he does and transmits his knowledge of the history and art of each place we went to. It will, without a doubt, be a great free tour if you get to go with her.
