Great Experience - Had never been on a tour like this before but wasnt disappointed. Nessim was very knowledgeable and led the tour well. The best part though was the Fado music experience. Really enjoyed it and there was even some audience participation!

Lovely Experience and introduction to Fado - Rodrigo was absolutely fantastic! He was considerate, funny and conveyed Fado's history and the cultural significance of this musical genre. The trip became personal, and the Guide gave a lot of himself and at the same time made it possible for the group to get to know each other well. Rodrigo spoke fluent English, spoke clearly and at a good pace. We got tips and tricks as a tourist in Lisbon. I give Rodrigo my best recommendations.

Engaged storyteller, compassionate group leader - We had a great experience with Rodrigo. He took care of us, talked English perfectly and also made an extra stop to let me go pee in a café, which was highly appreciated. Interesting story teller, will be a good teacher!
