“Our guide, Myriam, was absolutely exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered the history of the region with genuine enthusiasm. No request was too small for her; she was helpful in every aspect and truly went above and beyond her formal responsibilities to ensure we had a great experience. A highlight of our trip was when she shared her beautiful singing voice with us—it was a stunning, unexpected performance that we all thoroughly enjoyed! She is a true asset to your team. Suggestions for future tours: The only consideration I would suggest for the future is to extend the tour duration by one hour. Having that extra time would allow…”

Our guide - Silva was amazing! cheerful, informative, funny, flexible with times, told a lot of interesting facts about the palace and gave a great tip about a restuarant for lunch in Cascais - the seafood plateau for 2 overlooking the fishing boats was our best meal in Lisbon!”
