Fantastic free walking tour of Lisbon with Jimmy (Jamie)
Our free walking tour of Lisbon was with Jimmy (Jamie) on Thursday, November 20. It was fantastic. Jimmy is steeped in history, culture, art, religion--in Lisbon, Portugal and beyond--and he generously shared that with us during the 2+ hours. He also gladly shared tips on restaurants, sites, neighborhoods etc. He was passionate and engaging. We highly recommend.

Great way to start your stay in Lisbon
Lovely walking tour of Lisbon with Jimmy. Our family really enjoyed his calm and knowledgeable presence. Highly recommended especially on your first day in the city. It gives you a really good overview of the city especially parts of the city we might not have visited. We learned more from Jimmy than any of the other sites we visited on our trip. Keep up the good work.
