Matteo ci ha accompagnato per oltre due ore nei meandri di Alfama, facendoci scoprire un sacco di posti caratteristici e raccontandoci molti dettagli dei luoghi, della storia, della vita delle persone che ci vivono, di come si vive a Lisbona oggi rispetto al passato. Insomma, una piacevolissima passeggiata al ritmo delle sue parole, che ci hanno fatto superare i tanti dislivelli del percorso senza quasi che ce ne rendessimo conto. Una guida più che ottima!

Matteo accompanied us for over two hours in the meanders of Alfama, making us discover a lot of characteristic places and telling us many details of the places, the history, the life of the people who live there, how people live in Lisbon today compared to the past. In short, a very pleasant walk to the rhythm of his words, which made us overcome the many differences in level of the route almost without us realizing it. A more than excellent guide!

Araceli es muy maja y se preocupó mucho de que el recorrido fuera lo mas agradable posible. Se aseguró de que lo hiciéramos en condiciones seguras por el calor, nos rociaba con agua y paraba en sombras. También haciendo muchas recomendaciones de todo tipo y se portó muy bien. La zona muy interesante, aunque la zona es para coger fuerzas y perderse por las callejuelas con espíritu aventurero Translate this opinion into English.

Araceli is very nice and made sure the tour was as pleasant as possible. She made sure we did it safely due to the heat, spraying us with water and stopping in the shade. She also made many recommendations and was very well behaved. The area is very interesting, although it's a good place to recharge your batteries and wander through the narrow streets with a sense of adventure. Opinion translated. Show original.

Il miglior modo di conoscere una città é di farsi accompagnare da chi ama la propria città! Elvira ama il quartiere dell'Alfama ed è stata fantastica nel farci da guida per "il suo quartiere"! La sua passione e la preparazione storico/culturale ci ha fatto amare Lisbona ancor di più. Consigliatissimo il tour, specialmente se con Elvira. Translate this opinion into English.
