EXCELENTE Com base em 189 avaliações Publicado em Jo FVerificada Amazing tour of Lisbon with excellent guide. Obrigada Francisco! This was a brilliant tour with Francisco, an independent guide. He knows Lisbon like the back of his hand and was able to show us the main highlights of the city, as well as provide amazing and engaging overview of its history. He was very professional from the outset and was able to accommodate last minute changes to the booking and adapt the tour to suit our needs. It’s a shame our time in Lisbon was limited, there was so much more to see and Francisco would be the perfect guide to do this. I would definitely recommend Francisco / Lisbon Day Trip to anyone visiting the city!Publicado em brodicaVerificada What a fabulous tour - highly recommend Highly recommend Francisco as your guide and driver when exploring surrounds of Lisbon!We were arriving in Lisbon from a cruise ship.

We picked Francisco’s tour based on his stellar TripAdvisor reviews and are happy to add to the positive praise! Francisco has so much knowledge to share, and even though we booked him for a tour of Obidos and Nazaré out of Lisbon, he gave us a ton of history about the places we already visited in Lisbon and sent us an itinerary of places to visit in Alfama on our last day. His car is fully equipped to carry your group in comfort, and he will tailor to your preferences. He made a great recommendation (and reservation) for lunch in Nazaré and took fantastic pictures on his phone that we will treasure forever. In addition, he referred us to one of his colleagues for a tour in Porto, as we were leaving Lisbon shortly after our tour. Overall, you will not regret booking your tour with Francisco to guide you around Lisbon or show you the sights outside of the city.Publicado em Doyle TVerificada Well worth it Great beach town tour.

Excellent Tour!My daughter and I had an amazing time with Francisco as our tour guide today. He expertly customized the tour to fit our wants and needs.Driving and parking in the area can be a nightmare, but Francisco knew the roads well. He drove us everywhere, shared many interesting facts along the way, and ensured we stopped and visited all the sites we wanted in the time we had. This alone made our trip much easier and so much more efficient. Another great advantage was having a personal photographer; we finally got great pictures of both of us that are not selfies.If you’re looking for a knowledgeable guide who can also serve as a driver and photographer, Francisco is the perfect choice. We highly recommend him!
