I signed up the Bairro Alto Tour. I showed up on time at the designated meeting place. The guides decided to cancel the tour and I was given the option to take the Alfama Tour instead. I did take it but I have already done the Alfama Tour twice in the past week. I was leaving Lisbon the next day so rescheduling was not an option. I would appreciate being notified in advance.

A great way of getting an introduction to a place you’re new to. Get to visit interesting places off the beaten track but nearby.

Discover Lisbon and the team was highly professional throughout, they had a change in their schedule which they contacted and told in prior. We again joined the same tour with different guide at the different time, since we enjoyed so much. The route , the guide, the history and the places they take are so amazing and fun. Highly recommended!!

A lot of fast walking between points with great views. Gave a good overall feel for the layout and history of the city. Best part was being taken to a restaurant where we had a choice of many authentic Portuguese dishes. We recommend the baked cod and the sardines.
