⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Unique experience with Joao – double thumbs up!”

Joao was insightful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and most of all a lovely person to spend the day in Lisbon with. In his words we even got “frequent flyer miles” as went twice with him on two consecutive days one to see the Belem area and the second to see Alfams, Graca areas.
Big thumbs up to our great guide!
