Welcome to the Belem Tower in Lisbon, Portugal!
Belem Tower is a 16th-century fortification located in Lisbon, Portugal. The tower was built in the Manueline style and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Renaissance. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most visited monuments in Portugal. The tower stands on a small islet in the Tagus River estuary and is a symbol of Lisbon. It is a square tower with four storeys, each with a different decorative element. The ground floor is a gateway, the first floor has windows and the second floor has a balcony. The top of the tower is decorated with intricate stonework. The tower was built to defend the city from attack and was also used as a lighthouse. It is now a popular tourist attraction with views over Lisbon and the river.
"We were staying in Cascais but spent one day in Lisbon, where Ricardo met us for a three hour walking tour of his city. Where he met us was a small food park overlooking the city. It was a great spot to start. He gave us the history of the city and Portugal. We stopped about halfway to sit in a small plaza with a cool drink and learn a bit more about the area. He was very interesting and made the three hours go very fast. When we were done, he walked us back to where we had a reservation for a Fado show, he didn’t have to do that, it was very nice of him to go out of his way to help us. I would recommend using him if you’re visiting Lisbon. "

Review about David
"David was great. I booked the tour
The first day of our Lisbon trip to be better
Prepared for our stay. He gave us the ins and outs, how to navigate the city, a bit of history and a couple of culinary experiences.
Really enjoyed him! "
"João was fantastic. He took his time to understand what I wanted to see and learn about. He was incredibly kind and extremely knowledgeable. Incredibly warm and welcoming. His English was excellent; knowledge or history was superb. I highly recommend João. "
"Lili exceeded every expectation I had before my tour. She promptly answered questions and listened to my ideas prior to tour. She even studied my interests early in tour to better customize my experience throughout day. By the end of tour, I think she was reading my mind to make the experience perfect. "
"If you could be so lucky to have the option to choose Jorge, you should absolutely do so!! We had the most informative and amazing tour on our 2nd day in Lisbon! The history he shared, his personal perspectives, and his humor made this a day to remember! Thank you Jorge, you made Lisbon a place we will definitely revisit!"
"We are grateful for this experience, and glad that we had a chance to spend a few hours with Antonio, strolling the streets of Lisbon, slowing down, digging deep, learning a bit about each others culture. He is pretty knowledgeable, could satisfy our thirst for history, both recent and ancient, but above all: he was sincere, honest and made this otherwise complex situation incredibly natural. Thank you!"
"We had a wonderful tour with Joao in Lisbon. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and truly wanted to make the tour what we wanted in terms of places visited, information presented, etc. We found him to be interesting and engaging and allowed us to set the pace and tone as the tour progressed. For example, if he presented a topic that we were particularly interested, we spent additional time exploring that topic. We had one full day to explore Lisbon and spent the morning with him getting a good overview of the city before exploring later on our own. Highly recommend Joao for any visitor. "
