Our guide was excellent. Nuno is an architect who used his immense knowledge and skills to show us around. We had a late start but apparently, that is not unusual given Lisbon traffic. We still had our full time and saw everything we were promised. His background added so much to our tour. His English is better than mine and he was extremely engaging. Any question we had was answered fully. He treated us to our one and only "Lisbon massage", an experience only allowed on a Tuk Tuk on the cobblestoned streets of Lisbon. We had a totally enjoyable experience. The next day, while on a different kind of tour, during a daytrip south of the city, he was giving another tour and recognized us and greeted us. It was quite a charming moment.

Jefferson (our guide) and tuk tuk tour were amazing! The 2 hour tour is perfect - you can hit everything. He brought us to so many great spots, some that weren’t on the tour — and pointed out little details/sights outside the main ones as well. He provided great history, has a great personality, and was very receptive to our questions and what we wanted to see. 10/10 recommend this tour !

A wonderful way to see the highlights of the city when first arriving. Don’t think you can do anything about the cobblestone roads which gives you”back massage” as our guide said

. Sara was an excellent guide , nice , interesting. We really had a good time.

Great way to see all the neighborhoods of Lisbon in a short period of time.
