We arrived early one morning from the states and we wanted to see the city that afternoon- wanting an overview of Lisbon to better acquaint ourselves with this fascinating city. If you are thinking of 'What To Do In Portugal" this is by far the best tour in Lisbon. A private tour is the way to go. Its customized for you to see everything in the city in the most comfortable way-in a comfy car, riding around on a private 1/2 day tour. We were picked up from our Hotel,The One, by a lovely couple named David M and his wife Michelle. Btw-They are a fine example of what tour guides should be like.They greeted us like we were family. They introduced us to their city with pride. We went to see monuments and took photo opts. We saw beautiful cathedrals and stopped in one. We viewed parks, gardens and passing street markets - always asking us if we wanted to stop and look around. Again photo opts around breathtaking hilltop areas. We drove around Alfama, passed famous squares and walked around Jeronimos Monastery.They pointed out Santa Justa- a fun ride on this famed elevator. We stopped and walked around the UNESCO site the Belem Tower and to the Discoveries, a prized monument in Portugal. David and Michelle went out of their way to show us the best of their city. They explained the history of the floods, the fires and the best part..the food of Lisbon. We passed the Time Out market.-a must do in Lisbon. We drove along the lovely water front-only to go for a surprise stop at the famous Pasties de Belem pastry shop- here we skipped the line got in tableside and enjoyed the warmed tasty pasteis de nata, a classic Portuguese treat. What a highlight! In 1/2 day we were filled with everything you need to know about Lisbon and what to do. It made our stay an enjoyable one. Thank you David M and your lovely wife Michelle.Great tour guides-both adding in the fine points of Lisbon, its well known eateries and their music genre-Fado-dating back to the 1820's.Leaving us off at the end of our day, we said we made you both a friend. We will be back.Thanks to you both!!! Great tour with indelible memories. Your kindness remains.
