“Our driver showed up late and tried to say she had been there all along (she wasn’t). Then she asked where our luggage was as she thought we were going to a hotel afterwards even though she picked us up from the cruise terminal! Poor start to the tour. She was OK on the tour but didn’t allow much time to browse and shop. Overall, I would not recommend it.”

“Very enjoyable tour. Joel was very personable, very knowledgeable and allowed deviation from planned tour. We ate lunch at a restaurant that served barnacles and tiger prawns the size of a small house. Never thought I would eat and like barnacles. One thing to factor in...if coming in on a cruise ship, be aware that Lisbon time is one hour ahead of the ships time for purposes of scheduling.”
