Great tour of Alfama and Castle - Andriy was a fantastic guide, he was very knowledgeable and gave us awesome insight into the history of Lisbon, the Alfama neighborhood and the churches and the castle. Having a small group of 8 was perfect, we weren’t rushed and were able to take our time seeing everything and asking questions.
