Tour Important Information

Transport based tour.

Little walking is involved.

IMPORTANT: Pick ups are possible anywhere in Lisbon. The latest possible departure for this tour is 09:00h to keep the 4 hour duration.

In that case, the overall duration will be shorter and some parts of the itinerary may need to be adjusted or omitted, which could compromise the full tour content.

*Due to limited entry, the Jerónimos Monastery visit may depend on queue times.
