We recognize that this process should be simpler and more accessible for visitors.

Dear Craig, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the beauty and architecture of Livraria Lello. At the same time, we’re sorry that the admission price, crowds, and book selection left you feeling that the experience was not good value for money. As one of Porto’s most visited landmarks, Livraria Lello can become quite busy, particularly during peak periods, and we understand that the number of visitors can affect the experience and make it difficult to fully appreciate the space. We also appreciate your comments regarding the book selection. We understand that visitors may have different expectations of what a historic bookstore should offer, and your perspective is valuable.

Dear Jeffrey, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the frustration caused by the missing book. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially after traveling from the United States and planning your visit six months in advance. We are particularly sorry that you felt your concerns were not taken seriously or that you were made to feel as though you were not being truthful. That is certainly not the way we want any guest to feel. We appreciate your advice to carefully check all purchased items before leaving the bookstore. At the same time, we regret that the issue with your €17 book could not be resolved to your satisfaction at the time. We take your feedback seriously and will share your comments with the relevant team so that situations involving purchases and missing items can be handled with greater care and professionalism.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience you encountered. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with your ticket for Livraria Lello. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive with a confirmed booking and printed tickets, only to be told that they could not be accepted and that you needed to purchase new tickets on-site. We are particularly sorry for the confusion regarding the QR code and ticket validation process. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we take reports like yours very seriously. We are continuously reviewing our procedures and coordination with our partners to help prevent similar situations from occurring in the future. We also understand your concerns regarding pricing differences. Third-party platforms may include service fees, commissions, customer support, and other booking-related costs, but we agree that transparency is essential and appreciate your feedback on this matter. At the same time, we are pleased to hear that you were still able to visit the bookstore and enjoy its beauty and unique atmosphere despite the difficulties encountered.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry for the disappointment and frustration caused by this situation. We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to have your booking for Livraria Lello canceled on such short notice, especially after reserving months in advance and having limited time in Porto. We fully recognize that suggesting availability for a later date was not a practical solution for travelers already on a scheduled trip. Please know that this was never the experience we intended to provide. In rare cases, unexpected availability issues can occur beyond our direct control, but we acknowledge that this does not lessen the inconvenience and disappointment caused to you. We also sincerely regret the impact this had on your trust in both our company and the booking platform. Your feedback is taken very seriously, and we are actively reviewing our booking and availability procedures to help prevent situations like this from happening again.
