“Lisbon’s Hills and Hidden Gems with Joao”

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4½-hour walking tour of Lisbon with Joao in early October. He met us at the cruise port to begin our tour. One practical tip: be sure to tell him which cruise terminal you’ll be arriving at. Joao took us to several interesting sights, many of which we hadn’t seen on a previous cruise excursion. Unlike guides who leave you to explore on your own for an hour, he stayed with us throughout the tour, sharing his knowledge and answering our questions. My wife, our two friends, and I are all seniors in good physical condition, but Lisbon’s hills were still a bit of a challenge. Joao did a good job of pacing the climbs and making the tour comfortable. We suggest asking for a few seated breaks at strategic points along the route. Joao is personable and extremely knowledgeable, with insights extending well beyond Lisbon. He made a real effort to tailor his commentary to our interests. All four of us highly recommend Joao for a walking tour of Lisbon.

Joao D.

Thank you so very much for your review, dear Carlos. It was a pleasure making this walking tour with you, and as I said when we first met, Lisbon is always up and down-hill. But doable... ;-) Hopefully we meet again, maybe further south in Morocco! Warmest Regards and all the best for you all, Joao D.
