Our tour leader Andriy Voyevoda was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and very clear in his explanations. Also was very pleasant and concerned about our safety. Highly recommend a tour with him.

The Belém and Jerónimos Monastery Guided Small Group Walking Tour was an absolutely amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks to life. From the moment we started the tour, it was clear that our guide was passionate about the rich history and cultural significance of Belém and its monuments. Visiting the stunning Jerónimos Monastery was a highlight – the architecture is breathtaking, and our guide shared fascinating insights about its history and the famous explorers associated with the site. The stories behind the monastery and nearby attractions, including the Belém Tower and Monument to the Discoveries, made the whole experience much more meaningful. The small group size made the tour feel personal and allowed for a more interactive experience. We had plenty of time to ask questions, and our guide’s enthusiasm made the entire tour enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon – it’s a great way to explore the historical heart of the city with an expert guide who can provide context that you won’t get from just visiting the sites on your own.

I had an incredible experience on the Belem and Jeronimos Monastery Walking Tour. My tour guide, Andriy, was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared fascinating insights into the rich history of Belem and the stunning Jeronimos Monastery. I recommend this tour for anyone visiting Lisbon!

The tour was super! Rui, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the topic, even tracing the roots of slavery to the Roman era. His enthusiasm about the subject was palpable and his style is open and engaging. He even recommended a great Mozambican restaurant (Roda Vive). I’d heartily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon who’s curious about Portugal’s involvement in the trans-Atlantic space trade.

Excellent! Andriy was our guide. What a clever young man and so knowledgeable. This is our first ever visit to Portugal and it was our first full day! The tour was superb ! He was so thoughtful- even telling us to watch our step, incase of trip hazards and keeping us safe when crossing roads. He knew the answer to everything we asked and being in a small group was super and the other 6 people were very sweet and we chatted away over a coffee and were given a traditional custard tart- which was all part of the experience. He stopped and took pics of all of us whenever we wanted and he knows how to take a great photo too! Thoroughly recommend this tour and we feel as if we know a great many things now about Portugal, Lisbon and even European and World History having spent 3 hours with Andriy! Brilliant job! Thank you! We will really remember it!

We took the Slave Trade Historical Tour, and it was both enlightening and deeply moving, shedding light on Portugal's dark history of the slave trade. Naturally, it was also very troubling and saddening to learn about this painful chapter in history. We discovered the tour through an encounter my friend had at the airport with an African American traveler. I'm Irish and went with my friend, who is of Somali heritage. At first, we were a bit concerned the tour might sensationalize the topic of slavery, but our guide, Rui Fernandes, far exceeded our expectations. Rui's deep understanding and passion for the history of Portugal and its involvement in the slave trade were evident from the start. This is a serious and difficult subject, but Rui approached it with professionalism, patiently answering all of our questions. His knowledge was extraordinary, and his engaging storytelling kept us riveted for the entire three hours. Though three hours is a long time to walk and stand, we had a break and the route wasn't too strenuous. I’d recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing tissues, as the experience can be emotional.

My guide, Rui, was punctual and very informative. I especially liked that he had visual aids to help with his presentation. I did multiple tours this trip, and this walking tour was by far my favorite!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We learned a lot of Portuguese history. He was on time, and the tour was paced very well.

Absolutely wonderful tour with Andriy of Lisbon Tours. We received clear communication about how to purchase tickets to the monastery. He was prompt on the date of the tour. He was pleasant, professional and very knowledgeable about Portuguese history. Having a small group made this experience much more enjoyable. It was easy to get into and move around the monastery. We highly recommend this tour.

Very quick and responsive. Purchased online in 5 minutes and saved me an hour or more by not having to stand in line at the castle

Very nice tour. We were scheduled for a morning tour and the operator contacted us asking if we would like to reschedule to the afternoon based on the weather forecast. Glad we did. The guide was knowledgeable and tailored the tour based on our group's wants. He added a coffee break in at the groups request where we set and had a great visit learning about daily life for people in Lisbon. I recommend this tour.

Great way to see Lisbon and get a feeling for the city. Lots of information and great sites to see. Lots of walking so be prepared.

My husband and I booked this tour last minute (maybe 2 weeks out?) and we are so glad we did! This tour was one of our favorite experiences of our time in Lisbon. You definitely don’t want to visit the monastery on your own due to the entry wait time plus you’d miss out on all the info that makes visiting worthwhile. A guided tour of the monastery and Belem with Andriy is highly underrated!

Very engaging and well paced tour Andriy is a great host and very knowledgeable of his city He gave us a wealth of context on the area without overloading us He was able to summarise complex historical and political events without over simplification

Andriy was an excellent guide! He paced the tour really well, gave us a great insight into the history of Lisbon and was very engaging. Loved that the tour started at the highest point and we worked our way down hill :)
