Fantastic Fede! - Federico was full of facts and history about the Monastery its financiers, architects and clergy. He didn’t omit some of the less savory facts of history which I very much appreciated. His presentation was lively, informative and thorough. Highly recommend.

Great way to experience the Jeronimos Monastery - A really informative and perfectly timed tour! The guide, Leo, was super knowledgeable and really engaging, keeping us at it without dwelling too long in any particular area. History is fascinating, adding the anecdotal stories as interpreted by the guide made if really interactive!

Great passion for Portuguese History - Federico was a knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide that made our visit to this amazing place that much better. We got so much more out of visiting these historical sites in Lisbon by doing the tour with Federico. If you want a great way to see the Monastery and the Church and other local sites, book and arrive early!

Master class of Portuguese history - Leo was the best guide! He absolutely gave a history master class, putting all the Portuguese history into perspective! My kids enjoyed so much learning about it that they even bought a book on Fernando Pessoa, the Portuguese poet, right after the tour! Highly recommend it!

- Federico guide at the Jerónimos Monastery was fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Portuguese history. He brought the monastery’s rich past to life with fascinating stories and insights we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Federico was well-organized, answered all our questions patiently, and made the experience both educational and enjoyable. We especially appreciated how he pointed out architectural details we might have missed. The pacing was just right, allowing us to absorb the atmosphere without feeling rushed. It was a highlight of our trip to Lisbon and we highly recommend the tour and Federico as your guide to anyone visiting the Jeronimos.
