Family trip through Lisbon and its neighborhoods.

An authentic experience. We really liked learning about the history of Alfama, where they come from, its tiles, its streets, its people, the cherry liqueurs, etc. Everything very well explained and very enjoyable. With a great emotional touch that Rikardo the guide adds. A true professional, who connected with us and with the rest of the group from the first minute to the last. Once the tour was finished, he also helped us with other questions about transportation and other things in the city.
