Amazing Lisbon Tour - If I could give 6 stars I would. Samuel was the absolute best at showing us the different parts of Lisbon and we were able to cover so much in 3 hours. He knows so much history and gave us such good explanations of the area. Such a generous and amazing tour guide, definitely book with him!!

A great experience - Talk a lot about the story of Lisbon, experience the local people's perspective to see things, recommend everyone to participate, the process of watching the burned church and listening to the revolutionary events.

Intelligent and energetic walking tour led by an expert - We really enjoyed the walking tour of Lisbon with Kate (Kateryna), who brought great energy, insight, warmth and verve. She gave us a window into Portuguese history that incorporated language, art, architecture and food. We enjoyed her fast-paced, intellectually rich descriptions of the buildings, ancient and modern, that we were seeing. She adapted easily to our interests and abilities and gave us notice of hills or great views coming up. She incorporated stops at some local vendors – no spoilers – which we greatly appreciated. The tile shop was a highlight. Her command of the language and local history was impressive and her love affair with Portugal infectious. We would take another tour with her in a heartbeat.
