Our guide, Abdullah, was great. This trip is a great way to see the city and get to know your way around. Would recommend doing it at the beginning of a trip as Abdullah was great at helping up learn more About Lisbon, finding our way around, and some great hidden gems we would never have seen without him! Thanks for a great tour!

Great car. Felt safe and secure. Fantastic guide. We were lucky to have the friendly and charming Joao guide us through the lovely Alfama area. We especially enjoyed viewing the street art and murals, and visiting his favorite local restaurants (the best recommendations!). Our little one says "Olá Tio Jo!"

These guys make a great team! They are so kind and knowledgeable. They are funny and fun. Also, they are patient. We are dropped off almost a mile from our destination and Pedro helped us get there in time by navigating us with scooters!

Great guide who has taken us to the most interesting places. Some of them can't be reached by bus. He has taken a lot of beautiful photos of us and provided us with plenty of interesting details. Highly recommended!

Very knowledgeable and personable experience! Highly recommend!
