JC was very friendly. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and his presentation was absolutely top! I recommend his guided tour. We especially apprecciated the semi private tour (only four Persons), because JC had enough time to answer all are questions and, at the end, even gave us some interesting book advice about the history of Portugal. Thank you JC!

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide JP was very knowledgeable about the history of this city. He was also mindful of the terms he used to describe past rulers in that region. He answered our questions and explained things we wanted to know more about. Definitely recommend this tour!
