A great morning of discovery - Any tour that starts with a pastry is going to be great, but I also loved learning the history and architecture of the Jerónimos Monastery with Ann-Elisa. The boat ride back to the city was such a treat on a sunny day, and we meant we got to see the bridge right up close!

Belém the easy way - This tour is an easy way to see the Belém sights in half a day with all the details sorted out. The Jeronimos Monastery is gorgeous, the Pastel de Belém delicious and Borja provided great historical information about these, the Monument of the Discoveries and Belém tower. The boat ride back was a bonus with views of Praca de Comercio from the water.

Great Tour of Belem! - Really great tour! Small group, knowledgeable guide (Merritt!), saw (and learned) a lot in three hours. Around 8,500 steps so need to be fairly mobile. Being able to skip line at the Jeronimos Monastery was probably worth the price of the tour. Recommended.

Very knowledgeable tour guide - Merritt was our tour guide and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was very knowledgeable of Portugal and had some wonderful little facts to share. We asked many questions and she always had an answer. We are from the states and so was she, it was very interesting learning about Portugal through her eyes and how much she has enjoyed living there and learning so about her new home. We would definitely recommend this tour and Merritt.

Ready to fall in love with Lisbon? - Well designed walking tour (Alicia was our guide and she was superb!) Wear walking shoes with good grip soils and off you go! We took Walks tour before and you can always count on best guides that have pictures, maps, and are very attentive. The tour is 6 hours but you have lunch and boat ride in between, so the actual walking is less (more like 4 hrs at the slow speed) the itinerary made us fall in love with Lisbon and Portugal people. You will get a good understanding of city layout to further explore on your own if you wish.

First time in Lisbon, great start - What a great day with our very knowledgeable tour guide Jamie! We saw and visited everything described in the tour which started with a short train ride from centre of Lisbon to the cathedral. We stopped at the historic pastry shop for a delicious traditional Portuguese pastry. It was a full day seeing various districts in Lisbon including a ferry ride. Would recommend Jamie and the tour to get a great view, the history and the scenery of important landmarks and districts in Lisbon.
