Fascinating introduction to the real Lisbon - Our guide, Marti, gave us a fascinating tour of the small winding streets of Alfama, introducing us to parts of Lisbon we wouldn’t have found on our own. She didn’t overwhelm us with facts or statistics, but her love for the city really came across. We ended the tour with a spectacular view from one of the city’s viewpoints, shortly before the sun went down. A very enjoyable experience with a charming and very enthusiastic guide!
