“3 hour walking tour Lisbon Highlights”
I had a wonderful time learning the local culture and history of Lisbon and Portugal with Ida. The tour's route was well planned and Ida was extremely flexible if you want to add (or skip) any things to see or eat along the way. Overall I would recommend Ida to anyone who's looking for an easy going and friendly local tour guide.

Ida was such a lovely host for our crew. She had fun information as we trekked through the streets, and we enjoyed all the stops she took us too. Favorites were the Bifana & pastries.
