Her extensive knowledge and clear passion for her home country shone through and made this a very interesting tour. It’s accessible for people who aren’t really fit - lots of stopping, plenty of photo opportunities, a chance to see Lisbon from a local’s viewpoint and knowledge, a tram ride, pastry and a coffee. It’s a definite must do.”
