Historical winding streets with Maya - Seeing Lisbon on foot is the best with Maya learned the old and new in Lisbon. Perfect tour. Always was interested in our comfort level. Private is the only way to go

A walking tour through Lisbon - Very informative tour, Maia was excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and engaging, who knew Lisbon & Lisbon’s history very well. Makes Lisbon much more enjoyable when little but important details are pointed out and explained. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏

It all uphill - Maia, was an excellent guide. She was easy going and enthusiastic, but most importantly she was knowledgeable and very personable. She knew where to take us and how to get us there. Everything was organized. avoided lines and she gave us the inside story. Our group really enjoyed our tour and at the end of the day we all knew more about Lisbon and felt like we made a friend. Please wear comfortable shoes. I jokingly say that it is all uphill, but it was.

Lisbon crash course at its best - Four of us went on a private guided tour of the city. Our guide João Dickmann lives in Lisbon, but speaks excellent and accent-free German. He knows his city and its history, which jumps you around every corner, very well. He didn't owe us an answer and showed us many things we would otherwise have walked carelessly past. João readily responded to our wishes and the five hours passed far too quickly.

BEST TOUR COMPANY EVER! - We have used Joao Dickmann for 2 separate trips to Lisbon. Joao always makes sure we have the best experience and we do. Paulo was our guide and we fell in love with him and Lisbon. We took friends with us last trip and toured all over Spain and Portugal. Lisbon was by far our best experience. Paulo has such a love and passion for his country. From the tastiest cuisine, hand tile making, wine tasting, historical sites and Fado, he knows it all. The Coronavirus has hit this industry hard. Do what you can to help! We have a trip planned there in August with our daughter and son-in-law. Viva la Lisboa!

Jaio is an excellent source for a memorable time! - This was our second time to book in three years and we were NOT disappointed. We requested Paulo as our tour guide because we had him 3 years ago. We had friends with us and we knew he would give us an excellent tour. The great thing is you get a private tour and can make requests. Paulo is so passionate about his home city. He knows the best places to visit and to eat. Places we would have never found. We asked Jaio for a good place for Fado and it was magnificent! Casa de Lehares, I think I spelled that correctly. It was a short walk from our cruise ship. TakingUThere is excellent!!!

Impressive - Belem Tower is impressive to see. According to my research it was built on the banks of the Tagus between 1514 and 1519 by King Manuel I of Portugal to guard the entrance to the port of Lisbon. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983, together with the Hieronymite Monastery.

Good overall for first timers - Good overall - our guide was nice and informative but we could have done most of these activities on our own. I think his English could use improvement as we struggled to understand several communication exchanges.
