First I need to explain that due to Portugal playing in the World Cup at the same time, with Old Town congested by closed off roads we switched tour to cover Belem Our guide Saif was extremely attentive and gave us an excellent tour, with many stops to look round. Also my wife is short so Saif always made sure he got a folding stool out so she could get in/out of the cart easier. The trip was most worthwhile... we covered all of the main sights in Belem
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted you enjoyed your tour with Saif. Due to the road closures during Portugal's World Cup match, we adjusted the itinerary to Belém to ensure you still had a great experience. We're especially happy to hear that Saif's attentiveness and thoughtful help for your wife made the tour even more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back to Lisbon again soon!

Amazing experience! Will go again, for longer time. Very accommodating, as we were late leaving the airport, late to our tour, and even had to end earlier than planned. I will definitely be back, but for more than just a layover.
