Joao was a great tour guide that made our visit very special. Besides his knowledge, he was also kind. He took pictures, and sent us follow-up information about bookstores, restaurants, and even rooftop bars!

São Jorge Castle towers over Alfama, offering a breathtaking view of beautiful Lisbon. I’ve learned that audio guides aren’t as effective as live guides… but in the case of this castle, it worked well.

Easy to enter when a ticket bought before the visit. The views on the grounds beautiful and amazing. And stopping for a break and a snack in the restaurant was great.

We enjoyed wandering through the castle. The audio guide was helpful. Going first thing in the morning with pre-purchased tickets was key. Be prepared for steps!

The castle was great and audio guide on phone was superb. I actually thought the audio guide in English was much better than other the English speaking tour guides we took. Some guides have a huge accent which make it difficult to understand certain words. Gave the history and background! Loved the upper level of the castle with fabulous views! Totally recommend the castle if you love historical edifices!!!

Not having to waste time waiting in lines is a major advantage. The professionalism and historical knowledge of the guide who accompanied us was another highlight of our visit to São Jorge Castle. The castle itself is very interesting and well worth visiting, especially when guided by a reliable and efficient tour operator. Congratulations and thank you.

Enjoy breathtaking views of Lisbon and the surrounding areas from the St. George Castle vantage points.

Explore the archaeological site within the castle grounds, which includes remnants of earlier civilizations, such as Roman and Moorish structures.

Benefit from a downloadable audio guide at the historical monument, immersing yourself in rich history and fascinating facts through headphones.

Explore the best of Lisbon by upgrading your tickets to include entry to the Belém Tower or a self-guided walking tour of Lisbon.

Fun fact: Despite suffering damage in the devastating Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, the castle endured and was later restored to its former glory.

The castle itself is very interesting, with a few areas to explore. There are good views from the walls, and when we went it wasn't too crowded. However the Camera Obscura and the archaeological site were both closed with no explanation. The sections of the audio guide were each very long and didn't explain much, so weren't worth standing around for 5 minutes in each section listening to.

Not only did the audio guide not work, but the ticket price was much higher than what was charged at the ticket office. This practice differs from that of all the other countries I visited on the same trip.
