We had an absolutely fantastic tour in Lisbon with Sofia as our tour guide. She was so nice and a actually a living encyclopedia. So full of information, stories, skillful and helpful in all ways, making this tour definitely the best city tour we’ve ever experienced. We have now visited many of the hidden places she recommended and multiplied the value of our stay. The restaurants she recommended where also perfect. Very authentic and with excellent food. Tonight we have enjoyed the genuine Pastéis de Bacalhau and the special atmosphere at the tiny A Tendinha do Rossio. So many great experiences to absorb in this exciting city. This tour and Sofia is highly recommended for everyone who would like to to know and enjoy Lisbon! Muito obrigado, Sofia!
