Amazing tour full of history with a fantastic guide!! - Tiago was an amazing tour guide, and Belem was a fantastic area of Lisbon to visit. Loved everything about this tour... the monastery, the history, the location near the river, the world map near the Tower, and of course the special stop for pasteis de nata. And my friend loved that there were no cobblestones and hills. Don't miss this tour!!

Enjoyable, great to learn the Portuguese history - Booked with Freetour.com I was apprehensive about bringing an 11 and 13 yr old on a walking tour, was afraid they'd be bored, but Luis was excellent and every so often dropped in a few titbits that kept the boys interested. Luis has extensive knowledge and shared it passionately. A pleasurable couple of hours in Belém.

Good tour - The tour was good but James talked way too fast for us. I asked him twice to slow down and he would for two minutes and Ryan go fast again. We had a hard time understanding first his accent and than how fast it was being presented. He said he was a teacher so slow down consistently so we can get all of the information. My friend only understood 20% while I got 50% of what he said. We really appreciated the information on the elevators, that was extremely important as we are staying in the Alfalma region. We also disliked the political ending to his tour. Stick to history and it would be fantastic. Thank you for the tour, we learned a lot!
