A really great experience. You get a much better understanding of Lisbon when someone connects its squares, ruins and neighbourhoods with real stories.

Everything was well organised. I’d just advise arriving a few minutes early as the square gets quite busy.

I liked the mix of historical facts and little anecdotes. It didn’t feel like a textbook tour.
