¡La mejor manera de conocer Lisboa! / The best way to explore Lisbon! - Español Saludos. Hoy 4 de noviembre de 2025 fue el primer día dedicado desde la mañana a conocer parte de Lisboa. Definitivo fue la mejor decisión haber realizado la excursión con Susana, y haber tenido el privilegio de tener en mi recuerdo por siempre el haber disfrutado con ella y el grupo de esta hermosa ciudad. Sobre la excursión realizamos una caminata por Belém, el Monasterio de los Jerónimos. Sorprendido de Susana porque el grupo fue de cinco personas, dos queridos visitantes de Brasil y el escucharla hablar portugués, y español, fue bueno. En mi caso fue una grata sorpresa hasta practicar italiano con ella. Lo recomiendo, todo ordenado, en tiempo y muy recomendado. No puedo olvidar el cierre en Pasteis de Belem, ¡inolvidable! Inglés: Today, November 4th, 2025, was the first day fully dedicated, since the morning, to discovering part of Lisbon. It was definitely the best decision to take the excursion with Susana, and to have had the privilege of keeping forever in my memory the joy of enjoying this beautiful city with her and the group. During the excursion, we took a walk through Belém and visited the Jerónimos Monastery. I was impressed by Susana because the group consisted of five people, including two lovely visitors from Brazil, and hearing her speak both Portuguese and Spanish was wonderful. In my case, it was a pleasant surprise to even practice some Italian with her. I highly recommend it — everything was well-organized, on time, and truly worth it. We also went to Pasteis de Belem, it was amazing!

Wonderful Tour of Bethlehem - Today’s tour was simply perfect, and this is due in large part to our guide, Susanna, who was super kind, friendly and attentive in explaining the whole history of the monuments we passed by. It is worth taking the walk!
