Best guide in Lisbon Spain

Our guide Jama without a doubt was the BEST! It was so enjoyable taking a tour with him. Personable friendly enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. We saw more and learned more with Jama as a guide in Lisbon Spain than we could have ever had imagined. When it comes to giving out stars Jama was a 5++

Walking tour Porto

Interesting tour of old Porto made better by our guide, Daniela. We skipped the bookstore tour. Still unconvinced about its necessity, especially after learning that it has nothing to do with JK Rowlings writings (& it’s overly crowded). Not specified but FYI the cablecar ride is a short one which takes you down to the Douro river wharf for the one-hour boat ride. Not convinced about this one either.

Porto with Santiago

Santiago did a fantastic job. He moved us along yet took time to explain things thoroughly. We would use him again.
