Excellent Belem tour and tour guide Tiago was the best ! - Hello customer service
I went on the above tour and it was very enjoyable given that I am not entirely mobile meaning - I had a Stroke a while ago and recovering and the tour guide Tiago ensured to incorporate this even though it was a walking tour for able persons.
I was pleasantly surprised to travel by public transport as I have been unable to drive and this made my tour great and Tiago made sure the walking pace fitted my recovery thus far. He was very considerate about my health situation as I was a single traveler with health issues.
I have wonderful memories of this tour and of meeting Tiago if only for a short while - destiny always reaches out when unexpected. Please do not hesitate to book this tour and of course I hope you manage to secure Tiago as your guide.
Kind regards
Helen

Beautiful Belem - Mateo was an excellent guide. He knew how to cover the main highlights around Belém, so you could experience everything in a manageable amount of time. He did a fantastic job explaining things, was very clear to follow, highly knowledgeable, and a truly kind person. He is exactly what you hope every host will be. Great experience at a fair price. Definitely do this if you are in Lisbon!

A truly amazing tour!! - Mateo was an incredible guide. He was entertaining, snapped really nice photos, shared helpful tips for after the tour, and had great stories and insights about every place we visited around Belém. I feel like I picked up so much along the way. The pastel de nata we tried with coffee were also the best I’ve had in Portugal!

A top-notch experience - I had an amazing experience on this tour! The small group size made it feel very personal and gave everyone the chance to ask questions and interact. Our guide, Lucas, was absolutely fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He shared so many interesting details and really brought the places we visited to life. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something enjoyable.

Belen Tour - Taking a tour of the Belém sites is truly a must. It made the visit far more meaningful than going alone. Our guide, Thiago, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He involved everyone throughout the walk, shared clear context, and made the experience interactive and enjoyable. We really appreciated the dynamic atmosphere and learned a lot along the way.

A day well spent - Lucas was a fantastic tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and made the day engaging and interactive. Visiting Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery, and even LX Factory felt completely different with Lucas leading the way. Without him, the experience wouldn’t have been the same at all.
