Very knowledgeable guide, gives an unbiased historical account of the area. Tour moves at a comfortable pace. When two entrances to the castle were closed due to construction he took us to a 3rd which enabled us to enter. Ends the tour right at the cruise terminal which is very convenient for those that want to return to their ship.

Our journey through Lisbon's Alfama district with Ricardo as our guide was an absolute delight, leaving us with cherished memories of this historic and picturesque neighborhood. Ricardo's deep knowledge, engaging explanations, and infectious passion for Alfama made our experience truly exceptional. From the outset, Ricardo impressed us with his profound understanding of Alfama's rich history and cultural significance. His insightful commentary brought to life the centuries-old streets, charming alleys, and hidden corners of this ancient quarter. With every step, Ricardo shared fascinating anecdotes and historical facts that illuminated the evolution of Alfama from its Moorish origins to the vibrant community it is today. Ricardo's storytelling abilities were captivating. He effortlessly combined facts with local legends, painting a vivid picture of Alfama's past and present. His passion for the neighborhood was evident in his enthusiastic descriptions of landmarks such as the São Jorge Castle and the Sé Cathedral, offering us a deeper appreciation for their architectural marvels and historical contexts. What set Ricardo apart was his ability to cater to our group's interests and pace. He tailored the tour to ensure we experienced Alfama's highlights while also uncovering its lesser-known treasures. Ricardo's friendly demeanor and genuine eagerness to share his knowledge created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making us feel like we were exploring Alfama with a knowledgeable friend rather than a guide.
