El contenido del tour fue sorprendente, conociendo la historia de los grandes descubrimientos. La iglesia de la entrada al Monasterio de los Jerónimos es espectacular y todo el barrio de Belem es un encanto. Nuestra guía fue amable, simpática, conocedora y muy servicial. Un 10 para ella

Despite being let down by others that should have joined the group (meaning that there were just the two of us - effectively a private tour - great for us, but not so for Beatrice as she was going to loose money), Beatrice was relaxed, charming and a wonderful font of information. A great communicator (in English) which made for a very enjoyable 2 hours and a great introduction to the Belem area of Lisbon.

This tour could fit into 30 minutes. Information was given in very large pieces and sometimes it was already difficult to stand in one place under the sun. The guide was very focused on money. I estimated her tour at a certain cost, after I gave her the money she was not satisfied and she asked for more.
