A Must Do! - This tour was awesome! The skip the line ticket to the Jeronimos Monastery alone makes it worth booking. While you are enjoying a crowd-free stroll through the amazing architecture and art of this site, others will be in a que an hour+ long. Our guide Alicia was superb! She is passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and knows how to make the tour run seamlessly. Highly recommend!

Belem - I just had an incredible tour of Belem and its stunning monastery, and I can’t stop raving about it! Our fantastic guide, Agetha from Walks City Experience, was an absolute gem. Her knowledge was truly impressive, and her upbeat attitude made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. She took the time to engage with everyone in our group, answering questions and sharing fascinating stories. This tour was not just informative—it was unforgettable!
