A Great Way to See Belém
Miguel was a truly excellent guide. He gave us a great description of the Monastery and the city of Lisbon, while also showing us some of the highlights of Belém. The tour was very informative and exciting, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I would definitely recommend it. It was worth every penny we spent.

A great way to discover Belem
The tour was well run and informative. The guide pointed out many details of Belem that I would have missed on my own. Our guide was pleasant and his command of English made for a great experience. Well worth the price.

Excellent Belem tour and tour guide Tiago was the best !
Hello customer service
I went on the above tour and it was very enjoyable given that I am not entirely mobile meaning - I had a Stroke a while ago and recovering and the tour guide Tiago ensured to incorporate this even though it was a walking tour for able persons.
I was pleasantly surprised to travel by public transport as I have been unable to drive and this made my tour great and Tiago made sure the walking pace fitted my recovery thus far. He was very considerate about my health situation as I was a single traveler with health issues.
I have wonderful memories of this tour and of meeting Tiago if only for a short while - destiny always reaches out when unexpected. Please do not hesitate to book this tour and of course I hope you manage to secure Tiago as your guide.
Kind regards
Helen

Best tour guide in Portugal
Andre was an incredible tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and showed a lot of passion and excitement for the culture and history of Portugal. He was very patient with us with our questions and indulged our curiosities about the history of Portugal. Incredibly friendly and easy to connect with. Wonderful Intellectual conversations and human connection. Easily the best tour my daughter and I had.

Belen Tour
Taking a tour of the Belém sites is truly a must. It made the visit far more meaningful than going alone. Our guide, Thiago, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He involved everyone throughout the walk, shared clear context, and made the experience interactive and enjoyable. We really appreciated the dynamic atmosphere and learned a lot along the way.

A day well spent
Lucas was a fantastic tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and made the day engaging and interactive. Visiting Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery, and even LX Factory felt completely different with Lucas leading the way. Without him, the experience wouldn’t have been the same at all.
