Awesome guided photo tour of Lisbon - Our guided photo walk with Carlos was excellent. We met at an easy to find park that was proximate to the route that our tour would take. Carlos was on time eager to guide us through the winding streets and alleyways of Lisbon. He is knowledgeable about cameras and camera settings and made some helpful suggestions regarding how to set up the camera for the type of photography that we would be doing. Carlos seems to know all the great spots for good photos of everything from architecture, cityscapes, and the iconic Electrico trams. He suggested several helpful Framing options at some of the locations. He also spent some extra time with us in a cafe and gave us several helpful hints regarding getting around Lisbon. I was very happy with this experience and the photos that I came away with. I would gladly go on this tour again.

Great Lisbon tour! Bring your camera! - I met Carlos this morning for a photowalk around Lisbon and it was such a fantastic introduction to the city. I am a keen photographer so not only did we have a great chat about that throughout our walk but he also had fantastic knowledge and insight of the secrets and backstreets of the city. He has lots of stories about the different tiles, architecture and streets as you walk along. He knows all the secret spots and was keen to point out great portrait locations to bring my wife back to. He gave me some tips on taking photos and asked me about myself/interests etc to tailor the walk to me. I was very lucky to be the only person on his photo walk! Smartphone, film, digital, whatever camera - this is a great tour to start off a trip in Lisbon!

Great way to get to know the city- make this your first stop! - My guide was great! He really knows his city well and was dedicated to taking me to all the fantastic spots. I also appreciated his knowledge about getting the right angels and waiting for the shot- he was generous with advice but lets you do your own thing too! A+

Bad all around - Terrible communication skills. We ended up not doing it because I was so confused if he booked someone else in our spot and when I asked, he did not reply. So I assumed he had someone else and cancelled but he refused to give me refund. I think Viator should give him the refund not me.
