Carolina nos hizo un tour por Belém muy interesante y ameno. Nos contó toda la historia de la zona de una forma muy entretenida y cercana, haciendo que las 2 horas y media se pasaran volando. A pesar de ser un tour largo, en ningún momento se nos hizo pesado. Se nota que Carolina disfruta lo que hace y sabe transmitirlo. ¡Una experiencia totalmente recomendable!

Despite being a long tour, it never felt tedious. It's clear that Carolina enjoys what she does and knows how to convey that enthusiasm. A highly recommended experience! Opinion translated.

Matteo è molto bravo, ci ha fatto appassionare alla storia portoghese. Ci ha raccontato delle storie bellissime e non scontate. La cosa che ho apprezzato di più è stata la sua attenzione verso il gruppo, si è sempre sincerato che il sole non desse fastidio, che i ragazzini fossero coinvolti, che nessuno rimanesse indietro. Bellissimo tour, e grazie per la lettura finale di Camoes. Torneremo sicuramente Translate this opinion into English.

Matteo is very good; he got us passionate about Portuguese history. He told us beautiful, unusual stories. What I appreciated most was his attention to the group; he always made sure the sun wasn't bothersome, that the kids were engaged, and that no one was left behind. It was a wonderful tour, and thanks for the final reading of Camoes. We'll definitely be back. Opinion translated. Show original.

Matteo è stato bravissimo. Guida bravissima, preparata e super coinvolgente! Non si è limitato a mostrarci i monumenti, ma ci ha davvero raccontato la storia di Belém, con aneddoti, curiosità e dettagli che non trovi sulle guide. Ritmo perfetto, spiegazioni chiare e mai noiose. Si vede che ama quello che fa. Translate this opinion into English.

Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di partecipare a questo tour molto bello con una guida italiana di nome Martina, esperienza eccellente ma la guida lo è stata ancora di più, ha saputo metterci a nostro agio e ci ha mostrato tutto quello da vedere con una descrizione molto dettagliata del tutto. Siamo molto soddisfatti speriamo di ritrovarla in un prossimo tour. Se ci fosse la possibilità di dare oltre le 5 stelle lo farei tranquillamente. Translate this opinion into English.

We had the opportunity to take this wonderful tour with an Italian guide named Martina. The experience was excellent, but the guide was even better. She made us feel at ease and showed us everything there was to see, providing very detailed descriptions. We are very satisfied and hope to see her again on a future tour. If there were a chance to give more than 5 stars, I would definitely do so. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tuvimos como guía a Manuel, fue muy buen guía y nos estuvo explicando toda la historia super bien. También estuvo muy pendiente de mi madre la cual tiene 65 años, preguntandole como iba. Tiene mucho sentido del humor, y se nos hizo muy ameno las explicaciones que él hacía. El tour esta super bien organizado. Nos dejó tiempo para que fueramos a probar los pasteles de Bélem.Además nos dió recomendaciones de lugares a los que ir a comer, visitar, o como ir en transporte público. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Nuestro guía MANUEL fue espectacular, nos relató la historia de forma que la comprendimos estupendamente, tenia toques de humor, nos llevó a la pastelería por un atajo e incluso nos mostró fotografías. Tenía una forma de contar las cosas que no te hacía desconectar en ningún momento, y además todo lo que contaba era muy interesante. Habla con conocimiento, porque se nota que sabe de lo que habla. Pasamos un rato estupendo con él. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Manuel, was fantastic. He told the story in a way that we understood perfectly, adding touches of humor. He took us to the pastry shop via a shortcut and even showed us photographs.

La verdad que Rafa fue super ameno y divertido con esos "parecidos" de la historia para que todos nos echasemos un rato divertido y cultural. Desafortunadamente no llueve a gusto de todos,ya que hubo un "malestar" con alguien que él todo un profesional pudo resolver con educación,profesionalidad y amabilidad que le caracteriza Gracias por enseñarnos y ver el tour de la forma tan divertida y amena que lo hiciste, te deseo lo mejor y que sigas siendo como eres, un placer coincidir Translate this opinion into English.

Rafa was truly engaging and entertaining with those historical parallels, ensuring we all had a fun and educational time. Unfortunately, you can't please everyone, as there was a minor issue with someone, which he, being the true professional he is, resolved with his characteristic politeness, professionalism, and kindness. Thank you for teaching us and making the tour so fun and enjoyable. I wish you all the best and hope you continue being yourself; it was a pleasure meeting you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Rose foi muito receptiva e contou muita coisa da história de Portugal. Como não falo espanhol, não consegui aproveitar totalmente, mas isso não me impediu de aproveitar o tour e aprender. Estava muito calor e a caminhada é mediana. O ritmo foi tranquilo e tivemos pausas. Translate this opinion into English.

Rose was very welcoming and told me a lot about the history of Portugal. Since I don't speak Spanish, I couldn't fully enjoy it, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the walk and learning something. It was very hot and the walk was of medium difficulty. The pace was relaxed and we had breaks. Opinion translated. Show original.

Este tour estuvo muy interesante para conocer otra zona de la ciudad. Nuestra guía, Alicia, estuvo atenta a nosotros en todo momento. A mí me gustó la dinámica del grupo porque nos iba lanzando preguntas a ver si conocíamos las respuestas. Es un tour en el que no hay un recorrido complicado. Se camina un poquito pero es todo ha pie llano. Al punto de encuentro se puede acceder con el tranvía e-15 y se baja en la parada de Belén. Translate this opinion into English.

This tour was very interesting for discovering another part of the city. Our guide, Alicia, was attentive to us at all times. I liked the group dynamic because she kept asking us questions to see if we knew the answers. It's a tour with a straightforward route. There's a little walking involved, but it's all on level ground. You can reach the meeting point by taking tram E-15 and getting off at the Belén stop. Opinion translated. Show original.

Realizamos este tour con Carla por la tarde y hay que tener en cuenta que por la hora no se puede acceder al Monasterio. Al centrarse en tres puntos el contenido era más en contexto e historia y con niños se hizo más complicado, pero si es solo para adultos totalmente recomendado. Nos permitió ver el atardecer desde la Torre y fue muy bonito. Translate this opinion into English.

We took this tour with Carla in the afternoon, and it's important to note that due to the time, you can't access the Monastery. Since it focused on three points, the content was more contextual and historical, which made it more challenging with children, but if it's just for adults, it's highly recommended. It allowed us to see the sunset from the Tower, which was beautiful. Opinion translated. Show original.

Rafa (el gallego) hizo de nuestro tour un paseo muy ameno e interesante por Belém, entre bromas y risas nos fue contando un montón de cosas y de anécdotas de la ciudad. Íbamos con nuestra hija de 9 años y él la integró en el grupo en todo momento y estuvo siempre pendiente de ella. A pesar del calor que hacía se nos pasó la mañana muy rápido. Al terminar nos dio varias recomendaciones para comer y también para ir con la niña. Muchas gracias por todo Rafa, de otros gallegos! :) Recomendadísimo! Translate this opinion into English.

Rafa (the Galician) made our tour a very enjoyable and interesting walk through Belém. Between jokes and laughter, he told us lots of things and anecdotes about the city. We were with our 9-year-old daughter, and he included her in the group at all times and was always looking out for her. Despite the heat, the morning flew by. At the end, he gave us several recommendations for places to eat and things to do with our daughter. Thank you so much for everything, Rafa, from fellow Galicians! :) Highly recommended!

Empezó tarde y al ser hora de calor pasamos mucho calor y encima no se buscaba sombras para cobijarte en las explicaciones y ya a las 12.45 por el monasterio y la torre de belen era imposible aguantar… Creo que deberían empezar la escursion más pronto para evitar tanto calor con el sol cuando más calienta Translate this opinion into English.

It started late and since it was hot, we were very uncomfortable, and on top of that, there were no shaded areas to shelter during the explanations. By 12:45, it was impossible to endure around the monastery and the Tower of Bethlehem... I think they should start the excursion earlier to avoid the heat when the sun is at its strongest.
