The Alfama with Andy - Had a great walk with Andy through the Alfama area of old Lisboa. He imparted some of the sweep of history, kings and battles and such, and sweeter tales of the origins of Pastels de Nata. We also heard some insider tips for other activities in the city and beyond. Definitely put this on your must do list when visiting Lisbon.

Must See Tour of Alfama. - We saved our final day to do the tour through Alfama because we weren’t sure whether or not it was a make or break sight for our trip. I am so glad we went. Our tour guide was Belen and she did a great job of giving us all the history but also making it easily digestible. She had a nice rapport with us the tourists but also the locals/natives of the area. So much history packed into this little neighborhood. I also think it’s important to say that I don’t think my husband and I would’ve been able to easily (or successfully) navigate the labyrinth of Alfama without a guide. Spend an afternoon taking this tour, I can’t imagine any scenario where you’d regret it.
