Great Tour Experience - Walking tours are one of my favorite things to do when visiting a new place. I usually try to brush up a little on history before I go to a new place, but a tour with historical context really helps me gain better perspective. I really appreciate the tour that Tiago took us through, the personal touch he added to the story, and the historical context he put the tour in. I would 100% recommend. He even went above and beyond by answering questions after the tour and even walked my partner and me to a popular lunch spot (it was in the direction we were both going after the tour). Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Well crafted, informative, and friendly tour with Tiago. - Tiago was a friendly and knowledgeable guide, spoke excellent English, and aside from a strong knowledge of the history of his city, he supplemented the tour with additional recommendations and information provided in an email. I would highly recommend this tour with Tiago. Thanks Tiago!
