Amazing tour - I highly recommend this tour in Lisbon. We had an amazing time exploring Lisbon thanks to this particular tour. I highly recommend Rui Pedro Cardoso as your driver. We had him for this tour and couldn't have a better driver than him. Apart from being a good driver, he was very helpful and showed us around as a professional tour leader would do. This sightseeing exceeded out expectations.
