Had An Amazing Tour - Our guide NuNu was amazing. Very proud of his Portuguese culture and extremely animated. He went over the tour time, but it seemed like the time went so fast. A pleasure spending the day with him.

Tiago , he’s much more than a tour guide! - If they’re looking to discover Lisbon in a day, start here! Tiago was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient and thorough. Warm and friendly, he took us around Lisbon with excitement in his heart.

This tour was okay, but... - This tour was okay, but not as good as some of the others we did during our trip. There is a lot of driving past places or quickly stopping with no entry included. And there was surprisingly little history shared for a history tour. Definitely felt less organized than some of the other tours we have completed.

Very scary driving - Driving through very narrow, twisting Lisbon streets was an experience I will soon not forget. Our driver was more than a little reckless. His style was going as fast as possible and then slamming on his brakes when needed. One of the other woman in the tour had to switch seats because she was getting carsick within the first 5 minutes. At one point he was going so fast that when he slammed on the brakes due to someone cutting in front of him, I went flying off my seat and slammed into the back of the driver's seat. If this is the "normal" way Lisbonites drive, I will never do that again. I had to hang on for dear life the entire day while he was driving.

Worthless tour with Nuno - Disappointed as Nuno stopped in so many unwanted location just to show the city from top from 5 points. Gave very less time to see the Lisbon Cathedral properly but kind enough to show the St. Anthony's birth place. Very abrupt explanation. All places are unworthy to stop. Especially an altar with piece of bricks and water popping out from it. So ugly structure. The second last stop was so worthless that it was fill with weed seller, junkies and so much suspicious activity going on. He should understand he cant make tourist stop at such risky place. Very much time wasted. Nuno took us to some meaningless flea market which actually is a garage item sells, second hand used products. Just because Nuno wants to smoke frequently he makes us stopped wherever he wanted like garage sell market and some high location full of addicted people around. Small suggestion to make this trip meaningful please let's tourist enjoy the Castle and Cathidral. Else its just a bumpy ride with meaningless sightseeing. One should book big bus or city sightseeing for more worthy time spend and awareness about Lisbon. Nuno was so incompetent that he doesn't know the famous CM symbol of great modern theater is actually from the Antonio's castle from Sintra near Pena palace. When I asked this CM or MC symbol from the Antonio's house where you can find the swirling/round staircase and his family built this (as I came to know this from my previous days trip with some different Trip company and the guide was very knowledgeable unlike Nuno). But Nuno said he cant have all information about everything of Lisbon eminent places . Which seems he is not at all a well aware tour guide. Very disappointed
