Diego es un excelente guía, nos ha gustado mucho por su cultura y conocimiento de las costumbres y tradiciones más profundas de la gente de Lisboa. Nos ha encantado conocer una de las zonas más vibrantes, de un popular barrio lisboeta donde combinan la fiesta de San Antonio y tradiciones como el Fado. Eskerrik asko Diego.

La experiencia con Rafa es otro level, no se puede explicar, no se puede transmitir, hay que vivirlo. No se puede entender un barrio como Alfama sin el, de guia. Acabe con dolor de barriga de la risa y no de piernas por subir cuestas. Una experiencia involvidable y diferente. Recordaremos el barrio siempre unido a la figura de nuestro guía gallego. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience with Rafa is on another level; it can't be explained, it can't be conveyed, you have to experience it. You can't understand a neighborhood like Alfama without him as your guide. I ended up with a stomach ache from laughing, not from my legs aching from climbing hills. An unforgettable and unique experience. We will always remember the neighborhood in connection with our Galician guide. Opinion translated. Show original.

Guida preparata e competente, si vedeva che conosceva bene il luogo. Avrei però apprezzato un po’ più di coinvolgimento e qualche curiosità o aneddoto in più, per rendere il racconto ancora più piacevole e interessante. Anche l’uso del microfono avrebbe aiutato a seguire meglio il tour. Nel complesso una buona esperienza, con qualche piccolo accorgimento in più sarebbe stata ancora più coinvolgente.

The guide was knowledgeable and competent; it was clear he knew the area well. However, I would have appreciated a little more engagement and a few more interesting facts or anecdotes to make the story even more enjoyable and interesting. The use of a microphone would also have helped us follow the tour better. Overall, a good experience; with a few more touches, it would have been even more engaging.

Hicimos la visita con Rafa, un guía para nada al uso que nos dio su visión del barrio como un habitante mas y sin reloj, transmitiendo al grupo su pasión por la arquitectura, la historia y la cultura en general. Rafa consigue crear una dinámica de grupo donde todos formemos parte de su paseo y consigamos empaparnos de las tradiciones y costumbres de Alfama. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour with Rafa, a truly unique guide who shared his perspective of the neighborhood as a local resident, without the pressure of a watch, and conveyed his passion for architecture, history, and culture to the group.

We did the Alfama walking tour. Our wonderful guide, Cecilia, took us all over and gave us much information at each stop. We enjoyed listening to her and found out she is a great singer. She brought us to a grandmother for a homemade ginja in a dark chocolate cup. Very reasonable price to try it. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour!
