Very nice tour. We were scheduled for a morning tour and the operator contacted us asking if we would like to reschedule to the afternoon based on the weather forecast. Glad we did. The guide was knowledgeable and tailored the tour based on our group's wants. He added a coffee break in at the groups request where we set and had a great visit learning about daily life for people in Lisbon. I recommend this tour.

Amazing!

Our tour of the Alfama was Excellent!!! We got there a few monies late due to an Uber driver coming really late to pick us up! Our tour guide was a young man that was wearing a long sleeve UV shirt in 95 degree weather and he never looked hot or uncomfortable! He was an excellent tour guide and his knowledge about the Lisbon cathedral and the Castle was Exceptional!! We learned sooo much about the history of the Alfama area and the castle!! Excellent tour with an exceptional guide!

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was like having a cheat sheet on the tour. Also stopped at some hidden gems we wouldn’t have known about otherwise.

This was the best city tour I have taken. The walking tour with Andriy was really enjoyable. His range of knowledge was amazing. He gave us a real understanding of Lisbon and the culture of the area. His approach was very personalised, responsive, with masses included but also not rushed, at a perfect pace of walking and pausing to talk in the shade; we were a small group which I would thoroughly recommend. The information and communication before the trip was reassuring and informative. This tour has certainly made our trip and I would definitely use Viator and small group walking tours again.

Our guide, Andriy Voyevoda, was incredible! He created an amazing experience. He answered all of our questions and made it a lasting memory. He was very kind and said numerous times to "watch your step" around the cobbled streets and the castle. Without him, it would just have been a walk. With him, it was a history lesson.

Amazing!

This was a great way to see one of Lisbon's top attractions along with other stops on the way. Our guide, Andre was fantastic (I had the pleasure of having him lead my tour in Belem, as well). It was a picturesque walk which included stop at some beautiful viewpoints and well as time at the end to explore the castle walls on your own.
