Ricky was a perfect tour guide and had so much inside knowledge of the sights. Ricky brought history to life with his knowledge and stories. In addition, he knew all the best local recommendations for food and our group had such a good time we all met up again later. We have traveled a lot and are history buffs, and Ricky earns my highest recommendation as a tour guide!

Carlos, with his knowledge & wit, provided all we needed for a perfect tour of the incredible sights in Belem. Truly enjoyed the area, we had planned to view for months!
Sharing experiences with others in the group made the tour even better. Lots of laughter & history shared.

We had a great day with our guide seeing the sites of Lisbon and learning the history. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you have only a short time and would like to see the beauty of Lisbon. We spoke English and we were joined by an Italian couple who spoke Italian. Our guide took time with each of the couples speaking in English and Italian to communicate the information. Andre was kind and engaging. We learned a lot about life in Lisbon.
