Daniel and Diogo delivered a top-tier tour of the highlights of Lisbon and I couldn’t be more pleased. They are efficient, kind, and SO good at explaining the history of Portugal/Lisbon in a clear and meaningful way. My entire group was blown away by how much knowledge we received and how many sites we were able to see in just a few hours time. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Daniel our guide was terrific… smart, patient and communicated well! Exposed to us a tremendous overview of the city from north to south… we learned a lot.
