I am writing to recommend Ms Sofia Mantez, who was my group's tour guide for Lisboa and Belem on 13/10/202026. Sofia is very well informed not just about places she leads tours too, but also has a deeper understanding of the historical context behind the construction of various buildings and structures. She is very friendly and has good communication skills. Touring with her was a pleasure.
