Alexandra, our guide, was terrific! She was very well prepared and shared a diverse amount of commentary and information about the various food types, markets and food itself. She really knows the local places well from a small restaurant with bifuna to the pastries and espresso at the cafes and of course, the Time Out Market. She was unhurried and happy to answer our questions. She shared her personal experiences learned through her lifetime and was also a great companion.

We loved our tour with Marianna. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to point out interesting places and facts and explain the significance of certain monuments and food. It was the perfect way to spend our first day in Lisbon - 10 out of 10. Would definitely recommend.

Miguel war super freundlich und informativ. 2h vor beginn der Tour hat er sogar eine Whatsapp geschrieben, damit wir auch seine Nummer haben. Er hat auf uns gewartet, weil wir leider später wegen einem Stau auf der A2 kamen. Der Rundgang war super, er hat uns viele Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt und Geschichten dazu erzählt, auch vergleiche mit anderen Ländern gemacht. Das Essen und Trinken war der Hammer. Er hat selber in Lissabon studiert (Geschite und Turismus) und kennt viele gute Plätze und gab uns Tipps für die nächsten Tage. Auch durften wir ihm danach Schreiben, für Tipps was wir noch besichtigen könnten. Super Erlebnis, empfehle es weiter
