Nessim is best

Nessim was an excellent guide for our Alfama walking tour. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained the history and culture of the neighborhood in a way that was both informative and easy to follow. He struck a great balance between historical facts, local stories, and practical tips, making the tour enjoyable from start to finish. His enthusiasm for Lisbon was contagious, and he was happy to answer questions throughout the tour. I learned a lot and came away with a much deeper appreciation for Alfama. I would highly recommend this tour with Nessim to anyone visiting Lisbon!

The tour was very good, Diana was an excellent guide. She has great knowledge about the neighborhood, but also about Portuguese history and culture, and she explained everything in a super detailed and fun way.

Asunción was spectacular

Asunción, our guide for explaining the history of the Alfama neighborhood in more detail, was spectacular. She explained very curious details to us and made the tour very enjoyable despite the typical hills of the neighborhood. I hope everyone can enjoy a little bit of Asunción. Thanks, Sevillian 👍
