Great, thank you Miriam! - After we loved the city tour with Miriam, we booked you the Alfama tour directly. The tour with Miriam was just as great, educational, varied. We could enjoy it without time pressure in a very family atmosphere. You can tell that Miriam is really concerned with history and life here. Thank you so much!

Bring water and good walking shoes - An incredible tour, we saw Rossio square, walked out to the river, learned about Pastel de Nata and José Saramago, and then made our way up to the castle. Our guide, João, was so knowledgeable and engaging! Definitely recommend booking with him!!
