Tales and Tales: A fine introduction to Lisbon - We enjoyed this personalized tour and definitely recommend it to others. Tiago, our guide, brought his warmth, extensive knowledge, even-keeled demeanor, and fluent English to our day-long exploration of the city through the lens of tiles. The tile making workshop was fun for us as a couple and we’d see it working very well for families with children; our college aged daughters would have enjoyed it also if they were with us I asked a slew of questions about things, cultural, economic, and political, and appreciated Tiago’s ability to share his perspective and glimpses of his life as appropriate. For us, this tour was a fine introduction to the city that kicked off the great days we spent in and around Lisbon; I did see tiles differently all around the city for the rest of our time here and leave with a great appreciation of this art form.

It is a wonderful tour.... - It is a wonderful tour. In such a small group, you really get to learn a lot and ask lots of questions you are curious about. The tile painting workshop was very cool if you like creative activities. Sadly the tile museum was closed but we got to see Palace Fronteira which was mind blowingly beautiful. Overall a wonderful experience

A Perfect Day - It was a perfect day! Our guide, Nuno, was super knowledgeable, very kind and accommodating — the perfect experience Sherpa. We started with a wonderful tour of Lisbon during which Nuno pointed out the notable tiles used on the exteriors. This was followed by the visit to the artisan tile facility. Here, we were able to paint a tile and gain a better understanding about the history of tile making. From there we visited Sesimbra where we enjoyed lunch overlooking the ocean. Then back to Lisbon and a visit to the Palace - a spectacular sample of tiles for both interior and exterior decor.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and a better itinerary. Highly recommend this experience!!

Custom tiles - Very interesting to see the craftsmanship of tiles still being made and painted by hand. My husband went into it neutral and came out an extra hour later after planning to make a custom order.
Nu Nu our guide was fantastic, showed us tiles around Lisbon, history of the area, current affairs and more. He found us a great place for lunch too!

Great guide, excellent tour - We did a full day tour of Azulejos de Azeitão and Sesimbra for a team off-site, and Oriana, our guide, was excellent! She let us take our time in the attractions, offered a few options for lunch and stopped at the Cristo Rei sanctuary before dropping us off back at the hotel.
