Amazing guide who was very knowledgeable about everything it was to know about Portugal and Lisbon. He was probably the best guy I have ever had for any tour, a blend of knowledge, humor, and an appreciation for the needs of everyone in our tour.
Jose our tour guide was super knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon. We had an excellent tour and the kids were entertained for the duration. Would recommend this private tour for a good overview of the City and some nice photos from various viewpoints.

Shiri was amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and knew several elevator and escalator “short cuts” that made a 3 hour private walking tour through several neighborhoods of Lisbon very manageable and enjoyable.
