I actually gave this one star but it was changed. I was NOT happy with my experience because I didn't have a chance to have the experience. We were late as we overslept as we just arrived on the red eye. We were not give even a partial refund or credit. We were given nothing but they happily took my money and it's not cheap;(

Tout d'abord j'ai beaucoup aimé la sympathie, le professionnalisme du guide Monsieur Luis. Nous avons beaucoup appris moi et ma femme sur l'histoire du Portugal en général et sur l'histoire du château Saint-Georges. Par l'occasion on le remercie beaucoup également pour les explications sur l'histoire de l'Alfama.

Visite très intéressante avec une guide très sympathique et avec beaucoup d’interessantes informations historiques sur le château et sur la ville. Dommage que la visite ait été écourtée de 30 minutes et qu'il n'y ait pas eu la dégustation de pastel de nata.

Joao made it absolutely amazing. His knowledge and passion of the history made it so much more than just a regular tour - his storytelling and approach to walking through the castle truly made it come to life. It couldn't have been any better...
