Very good!!! Thank you Natalia!! - I LOVED Natalia!!! One of the best city walking tours I've been on, for sure, she is super energetic, funny, knowledgeable, everything. I think that she does personal tours outside of the company, which I think would be amazing - the tour company actually charges her when she works through the company, so it is better for everyone if you can try and get a tour with her through her own private tours. I cannot recommend her enough and I doubt that there is a better tour guide in Portugal.

Perfect way to get established - Belen was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She took great care of each member of the tour to include running back UP stairs to find stragglers. The tour was easy to find and a wonderful way to spend a first day
