13 February

We had a wonderful introduction to the food delights of Lisbon.  Charlotte was an expert on the food and best places to sample traditional Portuguese dishes.  We would not have ventured into some of the shops and restaurants on our own. Sampling fennel chocolate, gingha cherry wine, delicious port, local sausage and hams, seeing salted cod and dishes made form it made us more adventurous. We returned to the station restaurant for more of the local beer and had dinner the following evening.  We even queued up for the Trinidade Monastery restaurant on the Monday - before shrove Tuesday -  a public holiday! - to serve us the most delicious pork fillet steaks and bream we had ever tasted.  Charlotte was fluent in English and enjoyed her guiding - we learned so much about how to get about the city where to buy via cards and how to zap them so that we could get the most out of the fantastic public transport systems later in the week.  We also learned all about the history of Lisbon on the way around the city and famous places to visit.  What a fantastic start to our 5 day break.  A city tour not to be forgotten.  Food gives such an insight into the people, culture, geography and history of the country.

Hi! I had the VERY BEST tour - walking or otherwise - last Monday with Susy Ferreira! She had more information to share with me than we could fit into our morning's walk. After spending just a couple of hours in her company, not only did I now feel very comfortable walking around by myself, but I also felt that I had made a new friend. She told me Lisbon's story, and the city came to life. Please pass along my compliments.

Hello Inside,

I took your walking tour, original Lisbon on Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Though the tour was only two, myself and my daughter, the guide, Paulo was very professional and friendly with us, answering to our so many questions and providing appropriate advice to our private question. His guide definitely made our Lisbon stay valuable.

Thanks and regards,

Hola,
La visita resultó muy interesante y a la vez muy agradable. Mi opinión sobre la guía es que es una chica muy profesional y tubo un trato exquisito con nosotros. Nos dio muchos datos interesantes y supo hacer una visita muy equilibrada. Con respecto a la cena, me alegro de haberte preguntado por un sitio para cenar. La comida muy buena y nos trataron muy bien. Es un sitio para recomendar.

Muchas gracias  por todo.

Just writing to say what a great experience I had taking two of your walking tours, The Original Lisbon Tour on Jan. 23 with I think the name was Mara, but I'm not certain. She was outstanding! Extremely informative. And then the next day I took the tour of Belem with I think his name was Paulo. This guy was unbelievable! Despite being under the weather, he showed me around and truly gave me an amazing history lesson. I was unaware of the incredibly rich history of the Portuguese. I am so thrilled that I decided to take them. Keep up the great work!

We had the most fabulous tour on 12/30.  Your guide was incredibly thorough, with both Portugal's history and what to see today.  Before we came, I had been given the impression that I would be disappointed, that Lisbon was not special or unique.  Your guide was so enthusiastic about your country that my opinion completely changed.  And as we traveled a bit in the country, we could connect what we saw with what he has said to us:  we went to Coimbra, Obidos, and Sentra.  Just wanted you to know that you made your country come alive and what we learned in Lisbon served us well as we traveled to other parts of Portugal. 

Thanks so much for making our stay in Portugal very worthwhile.

Olá,

Sendo portuguesa seria de esperar que não precisasse de guia para Lisboa – puro engano! É incrível como desconhecemos a n/ capital, os locais mais recônditos e as histórias mais incríveis!

Agradeço ao Paulo que foi um excelente guia durante estes 2 dias no Discovery e Old Lisbon, tanto pelos conhecimentos como pela enorme simpatia.

Até sempre!

Thanks again to Paulo for showing just 2 of us around Lisbon on a cold cold day. He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly with lots of great historical facts thrown in and not any over the top comedy acts that some tour guides seem to dish out.

Thanks again from Jon & Anna (Australia)

Dear Paulo:

I had  very  nice time in Lisbon in the morning of Dec. 1, 2009, since you guided me  aroun Lisbon in an excellent way by walking tour program.  Came back home with good memories about Lisbon and Portugal. I could tell people who are interested in  getting about Portual, 'Walking tours'  is one of the best way they would join.  I hope to see you again somedays. Sincerely Yours, Young Nam Lee

Hallo,

I took 3 differents tours with Inside Lisbon

- one in Spanish with Neos
(Original Lisbon) saturday 28/11/2009 in the morning
- two in English with Paulo:
(Gourmet Tour) saturday 28/11/2009 in the afternoon and
(Belem Tour) sunday 29/11/2009 in the morning

I am very satisfied, Paulo y Neos are very qualified (about the knowledge of History, Art and languages...), and pleasing.

I suggested to my friends, that are going to visit Portugal to use Inside Lisbon's tours because allow you to discover and to know Lisbon very well and in a different way !

Thank you very much... and as soon as possible I will send you some pictures!

Just a few words to say that I tremendously enjoyed this walking tour. It was just the right balance of historical facts and contemporary information. The whole thing was very relaxed, just like taking a walk through Lisbon with a very knowledgeable friend, I definitely saw hidden treasures that I would have never discovered on my own, particularly in the Alfama part of the walk, and the whole city past and present came to life in a way that made it unforgettable.

I love walking and I travel a lot, so whenever I can I go on walking tours, and this one was definitely one of the very best I've been on.

We did the Original Lisbon tour with Paulo the first day we arrived in Lisbon (26/10/09). It was almost 3.5hrs with just my girlfriend and I and we really enjoyed the detailed tour of the city. Paulo gave a lot of background of the city, history and the people.

The next day we took the Gourmet tour with Hugo and a new girl being trained as guide. Although there was some overlap with the Original tour, we learned new things and ate and drink at some nice places. We really like the Case do Alentejo, both for the style of the building, as well as the food at the end of the tour. We went back the last day to have lunch there but skipped dinner later as the portions are just too large.

We have just returned from our first visit to Lisbon and we wished to write and thank you for the fantastic tours which we enjoyed with you during our stay.
 The Gourmet Tour is great fun and we so much appreciated the valuable insights into the culinary delights of the city and it's numerous restaurants as well as the culture of the Portugese people. The "sampling" is such a delight but even more exciting was the visits to some hidden treasures. We felt much better placed to launch into the local delicacies after our tour.
 The Discovery Tour was absolutely fantastic. Not only did we enjoy visiting some great places around the waterfront but we felt that we had a priviledged insight into the history and rich culture of Portugal after sharing a few hours with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide.
 An especially big "Thank You" to Paolo who was such fun  to share time with and for his patience in answering all of our questions.
 These tours should be on every visitors "must do" lists!

The walking tours and the Fatima/Obidos tour we took were GREAT!  We had a wonderful time and our tour guides, Paulo and Louis were so knowledgable and their commentary during the tours enhanced our Lisbon/Portugal experience.
Thank you Paulo and Louis for taking the extra effort that enriched our holiday.  You both have a wealth of information on Portugal and other topics.  Louis, thanks for making the van ride fun with your selection of music and sharing your love for Salsa. 
 We highly recommend your tours to all visitors.

we did the Original Lisbon tour with Paulo. We were fortunate that day ! , first: a very small group, and scnd, it was Paulo who showed us around.
 It def was a success, with lots of background info on Lisbon, (even on the nice old house that Paulo wanted to buy,but as usual didn't because of the one and only reason he had to succumb to....the opinion of his wife....)
 Great tour and interesting.

I just wish to express my gratitude to my guide on the Old Lisbon Tour held on August 18, 2009. I believe his name is Mr. Paulo. I was the only person in the tour, yet Mr. Paulo offered me an excellent tour and enriched my knowledge and passion towards Lisbon. I was very lucky to have a guide like him. I really like Lisbon and I will definitely recommend Inside Lisbon to my family and friends! Thank you for the great guidance and wish Inside Lisbon a continuous success in future!Best regards,

It's us, the 2 French Canadians Hugo and Caterina took on the gourmet tour today. We had an awesome time and we want to thank you both for this amazing experience. We sure learned a lot about Portuguese food, but more importantly about so much more about Portugal. This was an unforgettable opportunity to get an insider perspective about your beautiful country! This is a tour that we will never forget! Thanks! Un gros merci! Obrigado! Karen and Aglaée

I am absolutely happy my Portugal started and finished with InsideLisbon tours: many many thanks to Paulo for both Gourmet and Old Lisbon. I will be running a massive "advertising campaign" among my friends for Prortugal in general and your tours in particular :-) Cheers, Natalia, Russia

We went on 'Old Lisbon' with Paulo on 8th August in the morning. It was so good that we went the same evening with him on the 'Gourmet' tour. We've never had a better guide in any city we have visited in any country.

Thanks again.

We did the Gourmet Tour with Ricardo. He was fantastic. As nobody else came along it was a very personal tour with just the 2 of us and Ricardo. It was great being shown local eateries and tasting samples of local delicacies. We went back to all the places on the tour over the next few days to spend more time at them. They were great recommendations thank you.

Dear friends,
We enjoyed the gourmet excursion very much. Our guide Ricardo and his friend know a lot of very interesting details about eating traditions, national dishes and customs. The knowledge of the history of Portugal is really amazing. The atmosphere of the whole excursion was informal and very pleasant. Thank you very much.

took many walking tours in the past two weeks in Portugal and Spain, and the Inside Lisbon tours were the absolute best! I took the Original Lisbon tour on June 17—awesome! And then I took the Belem tour on June 21—another fabulous tour, a great mix of the past and present of Portugal! The guides totally went above and beyond—very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The groups were a great size, and I learned so much. I will definitely pass the word along about these great tours!

Paulo gave us a wonderful tour of Lisbon on Monday, and really opened up our experience of the city and Portugal. I cannot praise him enough, and will be recommending the Inside Lisbon tours to all friends coming to the city in the future. And when we are next back, we will make sure to do the Gourmet tour!

Your company was recommended by the hostel I stayed at during my short time in Lisbon (Albergo Odisseo hostel). I did two walking tours in Lisbon today, the Discovery tour of Belem with Paulo and the Original Lisbon tour with Suzy.
Both tour guides were excellent in their knowledge and skilled communicators. They were very welcoming of questions and gave lots of detail in their answers. Their passion for their city was catching, and they offered many tips on local food, drinks, activities etc to try. They were flexible in allowing time for photo stops etc, and neither tour felt rushed to finish in time.
They certainly made me wish that I was staying longer in Lisbon and I hope to come back one day. If I do, I will automatically choose to do another one of your tours or daytrips. I will have no hesitation in recommending your company to other people visiting Lisbon.
Congratulations on your excellent team!
Many thanks,
Carolyn (Australia)

What an amazing way to see the city. Having done the - impersonal - bus tour the previous day, we tried the walking tour. Much more customised to the interests of the group. Much more personal. Thanks to Paulo for his amazing knowledge and interest. Highly recommeded as the best way to 'see' a city.

To whom it may concern:
It has been almost a year, but I wanted to say that the tour my wife and I took with your company on 30.4.2008, "The Original Lisbon Walk" was exceptional!!!
The tour guide, Paulo, was outstanding!! Paulo was patient as well as well informed. Through his tour we were able to really appreciate Lisbon.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to see Lisbon.
Best regards,

As promised, here's the photographic memory of the best walking tour I experienced in Europe thus far. I had Jo all to myself for 3 absolutely enjoyable hours. She was very knowledgeable, yet never boring. In fact, she is a very fun gal and her English is excellent. I would recommend any tourist in Lisbon to go for this tour, it's guaranteed to give a very good insight of the city. All the best to Jo!

Dear InsideLisbon tours,
I just came from Lisbon and have to share with you my excitement from the walking tour I took with Susy FERREIRA. The tour was interesting thanks to Susy, her knowledge and intelligence and love for the city. Being in Lisbon for 3 days, I decided that I want to know more and taking walking tour was the right decision. “Everything in details” somebody said and that what Susy shown me during the tour. She also went to local store and I tasted some fruit and she told me about Portugal tea and many more interesting things.
P.S. One suggestion – the guides should be more visible when they standing and waiting for tourists. And also I was waiting for 15 minutes next day because I want my husband to take this tour too but nobody shown up, so…we took another guide ( he also was excellent – I guess you all like Lisbon)

1-5-2009
Recently visited Lisbon and did four tours with you guys, the old Lisbon, original Lisbon, Gourmet & Sintra/Cascais day trip, all the tours were fantastic. Very interesting & all the guides were very friendly!!! Thanks so much. John from Ireland.

Hello, nice greetings from Germany. We would like to say thank you to Maria (Jose) and Paulo for the great tours we made through Lisbon last week. We really enjoyed these tours and learned so much. Even when it was raining on our second tour with Paulo he bravly showed us the city. Maybe we see us again, when we come back to Lisbon to drink a Super Bock at the Republica da
Cerveja. If you are coming to Germany, "Ruhr 2010" to Essen- capital of europeans cuture- let us know. All the best

A bit hestitant to try the salt cod? No idea how to pronounce ginjinha? With the gourmet tour, Paolo guided us through a range of tempting dishes and glasses and manged to feed us with Lisbon's history and cultural influences at the same time. The focus is on gourmet more than walking tour so you end up with tingling tastebuds rather than tired feet.

Bom Dia-
Paulo was my guide yesterday for the gourmet tour. He is an excellent guide. I have been traveling a few weeks and have taken several tours in other locations; Paulo's tour has been the best of them all. He is very knowledgeable and has a great personality. I would highly recommend the gourmet tour and particularly Paulo as a tour guide.

Dear all,
Let me sincerely thank all the company and especially Hugo and Katerina for very kind and individual approach! We had a whole day trip to Sintra and Cascais region in January 2009 and we got real pleasure and restful and unforgettable day!
Because:
- usually we use to feel tired in 30 minutes of too complicated explanations of guide and prefer prevalence of activities
- We are couple so looked for Individual schedule
- Also we use to keep budget (we’ve got the best offer in comparison with other tourist companies and additional discount for 2nd trip)
- We met friendly interaction and very attentive guide!
Our best wishes, hope to meet you again!
Sincerely yours Sergey and Marina, Russia

Simplesmente maravilhoso o passeio por LISBOA. A Suzy foi extremamente gentil, muito atenciosa e simpática, descrevendo muito bem os lugares visitados, curiosidades locais e respondendo a todas as nossas questões. Lisboa superou qualquer expectativa e o passeio a pé nos permitiu apreciar cada detalhe do cotidiano e da beleza da cidade. Muito bom mesmo! Recomendo e quero voltar!!

Hello!
Just wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time in Lisbon, and a big reason for this were the tours that we did - The original Lisbon walk and also the Discovery walk (last weekend, 12th and 14th Dec). We didn't have long in town and this was a great way to get the real feel for Lisbon - we were fascinated by the history of the city, its beauty, traditions, food and fado...
We must also say how brilliant our guide for both walks was - Paul. He was just fantastic. He was not only knowledgeable, but so entertaining too. We want to move to Lisbon now! Cannot recommend him enough, and he even went overtime (willingly) because we kept asking so many questions. LOVED IT! and will be coming back in summer to do the Gourmet Walk!
Cheers,
Courtney and James (students from Australia, but living in Germany)

Just a brief note to thank Tanya (hope name is spelled correctly) for the excellent tour last Sunday. Both myself and my wife Julie really enjoyed the tour and didn't really want it to finish! Even though this was our fifth visit to Lisbon (first in 1986 and last time 1994), we will be returning and learned an enormous amount on the tour.
Best wishes

P.S. Tanya - we're all delighted here in Wales following the Sprinboks' record win against England yesterday.

We took the Original Lisbon Walk on Saturday 1 November 2008. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk conducted by Paulo who enthusiastically conducted a very interesting and informative tour which lasted nearly 5 hours. Over and beyond the call of duty. We followed up some of Paulo's restaurant tips with great satisfaction.

Dear all, I’m pleased (finally I find time) to say thank you for very well organized, full of joy and positive emotions walk trip in Lisbon on 12 of September 2008. We had a group of colleagues from Russia, we’ve never been before in Portugal and this trip was a great discover for each of us! Sunny town, magnificent architecture, hospitable people… We did great work to find only by map unknown sights; became real command and got funny experience.
Thank to Hugo, Katerina and all you company!
Good luck!

My wife and I hade a wonderful walking tour Oct 28 2008 our tour guide was Susy Ferreia. IT was the old Lisbon Downhill Susy was great. Thank you Martin Francis

21-10-08
Susy Ferreia was the guide for a walking tour that my sister and I joined on 30/09/08. Susy was an excellent guide, very enthusiastic about the city and Portugal generally, she spoke excellent English and was very patient and also had a sense of humour. The party was small which made the experience an intimate one. My sister and I were late rejoining the group when we misjudged the time needed to use the lift and Susy was, even in this instance, patient and understanding, even though it must have been very irritating to have been delayed mid-tour. So, thank you to her and we would highly recommend as a guide to your lovely city.

Hi there
We wanted to compliment you on the wonderful guides we were fortunate to have on our 2 walking tours in Lisbon. The knowledge of and the passion for their city, bought your wonderful city alive to us and made out time in Lisbon one of our most memorable stays throughout five weeks in Spain and Portugal. Great thanks to Paulo on The Discovery Tour (17th Oct) , for giving us not only a thoughtful and interesting insight to this area, but a greater understanding of the achievements of the Portuguese over many centuries. Last but not least, we thank Paulo for sharing with us the decadent and delicious Belen tarts!!

My name is Joemil and I did the original Lisbon Walk Tour on October 6, 2008 3pm with Paulo. Paulo is an amazing tour guide. He covered all the details from History, Architecture, Economics, Industrial revolution, Which Museums to see and where to go for the best area for pictorial, Where to eat, Where to hang-out Etc. Etc. He was a lot of fun. I highly recommend him.

Good afternoon
Was in Lisbon from the 29 Aug for 10 marvellous days, and had the opportunity of doing an Original Walk tour of Lisbon with your tour guide Tania! I have been to Lisbon many times before but have never toured it like I did this time. Not only was it an absolutely amazing experience, but Tania was great! She walked and explained us so clearly through it all. It was a lovely tour, intimate and really worth the walk! Thank you to ‘Inside Lisbon Tours’ for this wonderfully original and even economic way to allow tourists to really feel the city in every one of it’s cultural and historical corners. And special thanks goes to our tour guide Tania who went out of her way to make the tour worth wanting to do again and who really shared with us, all her knowledge and enthusiasm for what definitely is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Will definitely come back to see the rest! Obrigado

We'd like to thank Rita for our recent incredible Original Lisbon Walk. She was very friendly, easygoing, and full of fascinating, relevant facts about Portugal's history, people, and all the points of interest on the tour. We all quickly learned to love and appreciate Portugal and its people thanks to her enthusiasm and knowledge. Please share this email with her. We highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Lisbon. Thanks, Judy and David Kelts, East Wenatchee, Washington, USA

Oi Pedro, Hugo e Natasha,
Gostaria de agradecer pelo tour de Obidos e Fatima. Foi simplesmente maravilhoso! Infelizmente nao pude ir no tour de Cascais e Sintra e nao tive como avisar. Peco uma super desculpa. Depois de tres dias maravilhosos em Lisboa ja estou em Madrid. Mas bom è que sai com a vontade de voltar que com certeza acontecerà um dia. Muito obrigada.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have just returned from Lisbon where I did three of your tours. They were all remarkable value for money and extremely informative. The guides were excellent. Five stars to Paulo for the Original Lisbon Walk and to Susy Ferreira for the Old Lisbon Downhill walk. I was the only person for the Downhill Walk and Susy did a great job to entertain me and supply information.
Your tours will be one of the reasons I will return to Lisbon!
Thank you

Dear Paulo,
Just a brief note to thank you very much for making us ‘feel’ the real Lisbon. Your tours and information obtained during them were immensely helpful and educative. We were privileged to see some things that we would have certainly missed if we were making the tours of the town on our own. Impressions are still strong and coming in, and images of your beautiful town still alive... Looking forward to visiting Lisbon again and ‘discovering’ the spots that we missed, I send you my friendly regards from Serbia!

Hello,
We really enjoyed the discovery walking tour, as we probably wouldn't have explored that part of the city on our own. Paulo was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about Portuguese history. The Pastries was a real highlight for my girlfriend. Cheers Paulo

I had the privilege to be the only one walking on the old streets of Lisbon on this tour, so it was a very friendly tour and pleasant 3 hours. I really enjoyed all the sights, the glow of the restored buildings and had fun just observing the old stuff of the flea market ( I am not a buyer for that) I followed Paulo´s recommendation so in the afternoon I tried 2 original tastes of the city; pastel de nata and that sweet cherry liquor in Ginjinha bar. Thanks a lot , certainly I have to return to Lisbon reserving more time for taking walks and daytrips also.

My Wife and I went on The Original Lisbon Walk on the 18/7/08 with the guide being Paulo. I just wanted to say a big thank you for a marvellous tour, The amount of information Paulo relayed to us was impressive, unfortunately I am on able to remember parts of it but still it was cool to have a guide that was so interested in his country and city,a real history buff.

Hi there!
Thank you for "walking us" around Lisbon on August 14th 2008, It was a really beatiful and interesting walk, my friends and I enjoy it very much. Maria was really prepared, nice and friendly, and this was a great way to start knowing a new city!! Thank you all and keep up the good walking!! Ciao.

Hi we did the old town walking tour with Maria and the cycle trip round the expo site with Hugo. Both were brilliant, we got to see some wonderful places in Lisbon with excellent guides - the only way to get to know the city - very highly recommended tours. The cycle tour is an excellent idea for anyone wanting to try something different and see a part of Lisbon totally different from the Centre, fun, relaxing and car free - The aquarium out there is stunning - and an essential visit after the tour.

Paulo. Thank you very much for a very interesting tour on 25/07. Your tip with Fado restaurant in Alfama was very helpful. We loved it. Once the cook came out to sing (very impressively) and dance with the restaurant owner, we could not stop applauding :)

Hello
A bit of a delayed response to your feedback, never-mind. My Wife and I went on The Original Lisbon Walk on the 18/7/08 with the guide being Paulo. I just wanted to say a big thank you for a marvellous tour, The amount of information Paulo relayed to us was impressive, unfortunately I am on able to remember parts of it but still it was cool to have a guide that was so interested in his country and city,a real history buff. Brilliant. Thanks again

I stayed in Lisbon for 4 days between June 21st and June 25th. During that time, I took two tours - The Discovery Tour and the Original Lisbon Walk - with Paulo. Both tours were very well conducted; Paulo did his utmost to get the participants interested in the history and architecture of Lisbon and to keep them focused. I am somewhat of an architecture buff and, because of that, may be a little more sensitive than others to the mistaked made by guides on similar tours. In this particular case, I can only say that in Paulo I found one of the best city guides in a long time. I hope this feedback is useful.

I completely forgot to do this both times I was in Lisbon, but now I'm writing you.
I've been to Lisbon twice in the last year and each time I took The Original Lisbon Walk. The first time was with the tour guide Natasha, and I thought she was just fantastic. She made me absolutely love Lisbon by the end of that four hours. I loved it so much that I brought my husband back a few months later and did the same walk again. This time the tour guide was Edgar and he too was fantastic. And my husband now loved Lisbon just as much as I did after the four hours! I can't recommend it highly enough and the tour guides are so warm and knowledgeable. Now I tell everyone Lisbon is good for the soul. We're going back to Lisbon again this month. Thank you very very much and many successes to you in the future.

The Original Lisbon Walk with Paulo on 23/06/08. Fantastic! Best value and best tour offerings I have ever experienced. Paulo was interesting, knowledgeable, and fun and really brought Lisbon and its history alive. I would highly recommend these tours to anyone visiting Lisbon.

We did the Discovery Tour on Sunday June 22nd. Paulo is the perfect guide. Nothing was too much trouble for him, in fact he went out of his way to make sure we saw inside the Abbey and the beautiful cloisters which we might otherwise have missed. As it was so good we talked afterwards about joining the Sintra tour the next day but on checking our departure time found we would not have got back in time. Thank you very much

I just want to say that Paulo was the BEST walking tour guide EVER!! 14 euro was well worth it. I took the original lisbon walk with 2 friends on May 11, 2008. He was very informative and knowledgeable. His perfect English also helped. I was born in Macau, so Portugal's like my second country. I am so glad that I got to learn so much about Portugal from him.
Thanks Paulo!!!!

On May 8, 2008, we had the phantastic opportunity to take part in your Lisbon tour, and finally we would give (late) feedback. The Original Lisbon Walk with our guide was among the very highlights of our stay in Portugal. We saw so many things we would never have seen without this tour because they aren't in the guidebook or didn't seem interesting in the text. We were the only people on the tour this day, bad for you and the guide, but perfect for us. There was no word of complainment about the small membership, and the walk was wonderful. We saw most of the normal tourist attractions that could be reached within that short time, and a lot of things other tourists would never meet. Within three hours nobody could have seen more of Lisbon, and we didn't see only the wellknown highligts of the city, but also a lot of "normal life", and the guide (edgar.ch.f@gmail.com) offered us perfect background information. We'll come back one day, and we recommend this great tour to everybody to visit Lisbon! Many thanks and kind regards from Germany

This was a perfect, well-paced introduction to the city. A nice mix of history, trivia and specific information about places and sights. The Guide, Susy Fereir, was knowledgeable, amusing, and informative. I'd recommend the tour to my friends.

We had a great walking tour of the lovely Belem district with Susy, a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide. Ended the trip with a trip to the bakery selling custard tarts with a history…perfect.

Thank very very much! In 3 hours in Lisbon, I just say that Portugal is the better country of Europe. That's it! Wonderfu food, wonderful culture, and so one.

I would like to offer my feedback on the Original Lisbon walk I took with your company on Monday just passed (7/4/8). The guide on the tour was Rita. Myself and my three friends thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Lisbon is obviously a beautiful city that has a long and interwoven history. We thought that Rita did an excellent job of explaining the intricacies of the city's (and indeed Portugal's) history. Her English was excellent and while remaining professional at all times she also made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We knew what we were doing, where we were going and why at all times and got to explore parts of the city that we probably wouldn't have known about without the guided tour. Despite the bad weather (a rain storm broke out about halfway through) Rita kept us all interested throughout and in the end getting wet didn't really matter at all. Thank you to you and your company for the tour and if my positive feedback could be passed on to Rita I would be very appreciative.

We had an excellent walking tour on 26 March with Paulo – The Original Lisbon Walk. We learned a lot, and found much inspiration for the rest of our visit to the city. We particularly enjoyed a meal at the Alentejo ‘club’ – would never have found it or realized it was open to the public, if it hadn’t been for the tour. Paulo managed to put the whole of the history of Portugal in a perspective that helped us understand how Lisbon evolved without burying us in information and was able to answer unrelated questions without losing his patience or his thread. The tour enhanced our visit and helped us use the remaining part of our short break wisely and enjoyably – our only regret is that we hadn’t the opportunity to do one of the other tours – maybe next time.

I enjoyed a wonderful Original Lisbon Tour on March 14 thanks to our knowledgeable guide Vanessa. Her enthusiasm was noticeable and she pointed out too many interesting places and historical references for me to mention here. I can highly recommend this tour as the best way to explore the central area of Lisbon. For your further information I shall be using some of the material gathered for a ‘Travel Spot’ in the next issue of my magazine Airports of the World. This will accompany a major feature on Lisbon Airport in the May/June issue. I shall make mention of the excellent tour and include your website details. Please find attached a couple of photos of Vanessa, including one of her talking to other members of the party. If you require higher resolution photos just let me know as these are heavily reduced in size.
