This was a great tour. Our tour guide Pedro was fantastic. He was impressively knowledgeable and had tons of insights and information on everything. We would highly recommend this tour to anybody looking to learn more about Lisbon and the st Jorge castle.
very beautiful fortress, well preserved (go there early in the morning) but totally empty!! there are only walls and terraces left. Magnificent view of the city.
