A great tour at Alfama with the lovely Cecília - We had a great time walking through the charming streets of Alfama. Cecília was energetic, charismatic and knowledgeable and through her we could truly feel the magic of this historic and romantic quarter. To top it all, her great Fado singing really brought the experience of the authenticity of the place.

Fantastic experience - The organization of the tour was impeccable. Martina (guide in Italian) was truly an exceptional guide, explaining to us many anecdotes that we otherwise would not have known, but which are interesting to learn more about not only the city, but, even more so, its inhabitants (those from the Alfama district). Martina manages to convey her love for this poor, but at the same time, rich neighborhood. Thanks Martina. Claudia and Claudio.
