Reliable even for solo traveler or small group - Helena was a very welcoming and knowledgeable guide! I was the only one who signed up for the Tuesday night tour, but she said they’ll run the tour even if just one person signs up. I was thankful for that! It was a different experience than I expected because it was just the two of us, but Helena made me feel very comfortable. I learned so much Lisbon and Fado history that I wouldn’t have gotten on my own, and the food/Fado was so good!
