The tour was disappointing to say the least. The van that we were picked up in was at least 20 years old. The windows didn’t open, the van smelled stale and the air conditioning stopped working when it started to get warm. One of the main stops - the Jeronimos Monastery was closed due to a holiday. I feel the driver should have known that. Whenever he forgot something or didn’t remember about something, he told us he hadn’t done a city tour in over 6 months. That did not inspire confidence that he knew what he was talking about. We enjoyed the visit to the Castle with the view of Lisbon. That was the highlight of the day. Our tour guide complained a lot and made us all cranky by the end of the day.
