Your private tour was described as having a driver/guide and stops to all the sites listed. We expected a knowledgeable tour guide who would EXPLAIN the sites, city and culture. Instead, we got a driver, Joao, who took us to sites and either dropped us off to explore on our own or did a drive-by. We drove by the Torre de Belem, Montevideo dos Jeronimos...and told there was nothing to see inside so we were Not stopping. We learned bits of the culture and history but no details. As we drove through various districts, we needed to continually ask where we were. We ended with a famous, Portugal pastry (Pasteis de Nata!) which he called “cream pastry” and did not even call it by name when asked. What a disappointing way to visit Lisbon. Fortunately for the rest of our trip, we found other sites for tours that made our experience exceptional.
