Wonderful tour with Cláudia

Cláudia was an amazing guide! Super knowledgeable, funny, honest and passionate about Portugal and its people. She shared interesting stories, legends and showed us a whimsical part of Lisbon. She kept us entertained and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend her!!

Slightly unexpected

Mixed feelings about this one’s I like the tour overall and the knowledge/information throughout. But it as not as 100% advertised, the tour guide took liberties to tweak it in her style. Maybe she has reasons but I signed up based on what’s advertised at Viator, so felt slightly mislead.

Great!

An incredible experience! We did the tour of Alfama with Sara and we could not have had a better guide. From the first moment she transmitted a lot of energy, friendliness, and enthusiasm to us, making the tour super pleasant and entertaining. Sara explains the history of Alfama in a very clear and approachable way, sharing curiosities, stories, and small details that make you look at the neighborhood with new eyes. It was very obvious that she did it with enthusiasm and that she really liked sharing and transmitting everything she knows. That passion is contagious and makes you enjoy the tour even more. Thanks to her, we were able to get to know Alfama in a different way and, above all, fall even more in love with this very special neighborhood. We take away very good memories and, without a doubt, we highly recommend taking this tour with Sara. A 10/10 guide and a totally recommended experience!
