Wonderful day. Andre was the BEST! I would highly recommend this company for all your touring needs.
Had a wonderful afternoon with Filipa of Portuguese For a Day Tours. I saw places in Lisbon I would never have found and tasted wonderful food. Filipa shared the history of the sites as well as a few tips for future exploration. I highly recommend a tour. Fun, informative and tasteful!
