Booked the tour for 6 adults on our last day in Lisbon. Wish we had done this on our first day as our tour guide was very knowledgable about the area and history. We learnt about some things we would have checked out if we had more time. She was well spoken and animated and we really enjoyed her stories. Food selection was good, but the information on the food and area was the best part.Julie_B
