Joao was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable on the history of Portugal. We went on our 1st day and it was very helpful in getting the lay of the land. He also had tips on how to avoid some of the hills and steps.Great tour!

Joao is an absolute amazing tour guide. He met us on time, in fact he was early. Took us around Lisbon and showed us secrets to avoid the hills. We went west to east and down to “ the valley” and learned about the history of Lisbon. He is very knowledgeable and his English is perfect. I would recommend him to anyone coming for a visit to Lisbon. Well deserved 5 stars

Joao was so nice and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon. We felt like we got to cover the entire city during our tour and had a complete idea of the layout of the city, what each part of the city was like from a local perspective and learned a ton about the Portuguese culture. Joao was interesting, really friendly, and easy to talk to for the several hour tour. We arrived in Lisbon the day before and had been climbing all the hills to get around so when we met Joao and he showed us how to get around with better routes where you didn’t have to hike up all the steep hills, it changed the way we explored the rest of the city during our trip. We’d definitely suggest his tour to anyone visiting! Joao was great Best way to discover Lisbon
