This tour set the tone for our trip to Lisbon. The tour guide, Al, was on time, friendly and did an excellent job of communicating the African presence in Lisbon. We learned so much! Make sure you have comfortable shoes and a battery back for your phone so you can take pictures and videos of all you will see and learn on this tour. Definitely recommending this tour to anyone I know planning to visit Lisbon.

Excellent. Learned a lot! The guide was well informed and open and prepared for the variety of questions from participants. It was at a good pace, taking into account the age and abilities of the group. He had to actively locate restrooms along the route and did so with compassion. He even paid for an Uber to get my husband and I closer to our next tour.
