Latest reviews from our guests

Had a wonderful 4 hour walking tour with Pedro. We toured our first full day in Lisbon and we were glad we did. Pedro knows a lot about the history of the city and country and we enjoyed asking him many questions in an effort to learn as much as we could. He has a very easy going delivery. He paced things very well, we stopped at a couple of famous storefronts so we could taste local treats and he made recommendations for places for us to explore on our own, several of which we followed up on. Highly recommend City Unscripted and Pedro.
