This was such a wonderful tour to do. I spent the morning with Arthur, who was a superb guide. They were able to accommodate me at the last minute for an earlier time slot, which saved the day. While I knew the city in a general way, this was a great tour to get a more detailed and intimate experience of the history and culture that have shaped Lisbon. I learned things that I know I would not have easily discovered on my own. It was well paced for a walking tour and Arthur took the time before we started to check in with me on my preferences. This was one of my highlights of my time in Lisbon. 10/10 would recommend!

What a lovely, thoughtful way to get to know the amazing city of Lisbon! Lucas was a consummate professional and his energy was very positive, his enthusiasm infectious. I already know Lisbon, the big attractions, so it was cool to rediscover it through its crafts and makers, and their immense histories. Highly recommend!
