5.00Did a half-day tour of Lisbon with Gustavo. He was fantastic. He showed us many of the neighborhoods and gave us the history of each. We ended with a tour of the Tower and Discovery Monument in Belem. Even tasted a pastry from the original 1837 bakery. Gustavo was outgoing, knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommended.
