Great car. Felt safe and secure. Fantastic guide. We were lucky to have the friendly and charming Joao guide us through the lovely Alfama area. We especially enjoyed viewing the street art and murals, and visiting his favorite local restaurants (the best recommendations!). Our little one says "Olá Tio Jo!"

Fantastic experience. Guide really informative and equally passionate about her city. Moulded a little of the trip to suit our needs. Would highly recommend her. Thanks again.

This was the perfect way to see different areas of Lisbon and learn its history. Our family (including two teens) all loved it. David, the owner, is a great guide.

Stefano and João outstanding guides. They provided a incredibly comprehensive and knowledgeable tour of Lisbon.

The guide was very knowledgeable and went at a good pace. Would definitely recommend.
