Muy bien. El guía, David, se ha esforzado para llegar a los participantes, lo cual es de agradecer. Nos ha ido muy bien para tener una visión más cercana del barrio de Alfama y conocer los datos más interesantes de la zona. Como mejora, trataría de entrelazar un poco más las explicaciones para que sean más fáciles de recordar. Pero, en general, excelente. Gracias David por tu dedicación.

Very good. Our guide, David, really went out of his way to connect with the participants, which was much appreciated. It was a great way to gain a closer look at the Alfama district and learn some of the most interesting facts about the area. As an improvement, I would suggest weaving the explanations together a bit more to make them easier to remember. But overall, excellent. Thank you, David, for your dedication. Opinion translated.

Tuvimos el Free tour a las 15.30, hora a la que quizá estábamos un poco apalancados. A pesar de eso, Lucía logró hacerlo divertido y ameno. Nos gustó mucho descubrir el barrio de Alfama, probamos la ginghina y mi historia favorita fue la del Fado. Lucía fue muy amable respondiéndonos a todas las dudas que teníamos. Repetiríamos sin duda!

Ha estado genial. Leyre es una guía estupenda, entrañable, muy cercana y totalmente resolutiva y dispuesta a ayudar en todo lo posible a los turistas del grupo. Se nos ha hecho corta la ruta guiada y al mismo tiempo hemos aprendido mucho de la ciudad en muy poco tiempo. La recomendamos 100%. Translate this opinion into English.

It was fantastic. Leyre is a wonderful guide—warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful, always ready to assist the group. The guided tour felt too short, yet we learned so much about the city in such a short time. We highly recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour fue muy entretenido y dinámico, Kike se encargaba de mantener la atención todo el tiempo, contándonos aspectos interesantes de la ciudad. Se nota que le gusta y lo transmite. A pesar de ser un tour por la zona de Alfama, las horas han pasado volando y ni nos hemos dado cuenta de las cuestas que hemos subido. Un 10 para Kike! Translate this opinion into English.

Única, maravillosa. Kike ama lo que Hace. Es el mejor guía que he conocido. Hace que ames Lisboa con su narrativa mezcla de historia, mito, leyenda y arte urbano. Kike nos hizo vivir más que un tour, una experiencia de vida donde aprendimos términos lingüísticos únicos y el valor entrañable de la cultura de Lisboa. Con Kike entendi la construcción milenaria de una cultura, en cada paso dado.

Genial. Nuestro guía turístico Dani, nos explicó la historia del barrio de Alfama y Lisboa de una forma muy divertida y con mucha pasión . Las dos horas del tour se nos hicieron cortas. Nos recomendó sitios para comer y poder deleitar nuestros oídos con el Fado. Sin duda volvería a realizar otro tour con él.

Abbiamo fatto un tour con la guida Raffaele a Lisbona e siamo rimaste davvero soddisfatte.
