Recommended regardless of whether you have visited Lisbon before. - The guide was very friendly, funny and knew many curiosities of the city. We walked a lot, but we also learned things we didn't know.

Beautiful history and fantastic fado - The Mouraria and Fado tour was absolutely amazing. Our Guide Hugo explained in detail and in a very entertaining way the history of this beautiful neighborhood and its cultural heritage. The Fado show at the end of the tour was the coolest thing I've ever lived and will remember for the rest of my life.

Excellent - It is the best thing to do in Lisbon! As soon as you arrive, look for these blue umbrellas! I have no words to describe the dedication of these people. A walk through history, through Lisbon today, tips to "walk" around the city with minimal cost, where to eat cheaply and at Portuguese level... No matter what route you choose, it's good without more. Edu, thank you very much for the walk through history, through the city and for your sympathy and for everything. I wish you the best at this stage of your life!

100% recommended - Very complete and entertaining. The guide (Flor) knows a lot about the history of Lisbon. I recommend it anyway, especially in spring or autumn (for the heat)

Excellent plan for families and groups of friends - Excellent tour of Lisbon, including its history, relevant site and anecdotes. Rafa, our guide, did a great job and always took into account the fact that we were with a baby. Thanks for everything!

Magical night in Lisbon - I recommend this tour if you want to live a magical and unforgettable night. Hand in hand with Almudena we enter one of the most emblematic neighborhoods of Lisbon, the Mouraria neighborhood. It was an excellent guide, explained the origins of fado and we could enjoy the live show accompanied by a cheese board, watered with green wine. Definitely a must!
