Would do it again. - The walking tour of Lisbon was great and our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. I would do it again and I am recommending to my in-laws for their visit in September.

Knowledgeable and fun tour - Ines was a great guide and it was a lot of fun to spend the afternoon with her. She gave us a window into the beauty and history of Lisbon. We had a super small group (just the two of us) due to the weather. I would definitely do another tour with her, perhaps in another part of Lisbon, or one of her Foodie tours.

Informative and Pleasurable - An informative and pleasurable tour of Lisboa by a true local, Ines! I was the only one (lucky me!), and had her full attention. Ines knows Lisboa inside out and told me a great deal of the local history, not just of Lisbon but of Portugal - things I did not learn in Global History - it was interesting and informative. Ending at a small bar to have the popular Lisbon liquor was an added treat. I highly recommend this group tour!

Small group tours are the way to go. - Ines was an incredibly informative guide. She pointed out things about Lisbon that we would never have known. I'm glad we passed on the big tour and picked this small group tour. You can instantly tell that she enjoys doing this and this isn't just another job. Everyone in my group enjoyed the little drink right after the tour started. The most interesting part for me was knowing that the road we were on was an old cemetery. I cannot think of anything that this tour could improve on. Thanks Ines!
