Full description

Go on a tuk-tuk ride west, just out of the city center. Here everything is historical and sacred, with emblematic monuments that have stood the test of time. It was from this part of town where the great Portuguese explorers embarked on their voyages around the planet Here you may get off the tuk-tuk and visit some truly amazing monuments. See the Jerónimos Monastery, which is a world heritage site of gothic Manueline style architecture. Learn about the Belém Tower, just across the road, which was built between 1514 and 1520. Then head slightly down the river to the Monument to the Discoveries, which was dedicated to the Portuguese discoverers. These three monuments are some of the most visited in the city.

We loved our Tuk Tuk tour with our guide. She was very welcoming and friendly. We were even able to taste a pastel de Belém without waiting and even visit the confection! We suggest that she has a small poster with our names since we had difficulty finding the right tuktuk (there are many).

The guide, Luca, was super! He picked us up from the accommodation and took us around and recommended where to eat some great fish. He showed us the beauties of Belem, the markets and the riverside. He was very kind and gave us more than the time we were allowed! Fun and informative experience! Very seasoned!

We had actually booked a tour in German, but the tour operator was overbooked and we got an English-speaking guide. It wasn't a problem for us, we just translated for the others. Luca was punctual, friendly, patient and in a good mood, we had a great tour with him. We saw everything important in Belém and had enough time for photos. Always my pleasure.
