..Lisbon’s Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa): Also known as the Church of Santa Maria Maior, this is one of the oldest monuments in the city, as it was built in the XII century.
After several excavations in the Gothic cloister it was revealed archaeological remains dating back almost 3,000 years, from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages. A sacred place not to be missed.

I would not consider this a food tour. While we did stop for a couple items of food, I would consider this a sightseeing tour with some food a long the way. It was an ok time, but I've had better segway tours than this one. It seemed a little disorganized.

GUI was an excellent guide and the Segway tour was a fun and easy way to see Old Town Lisbon. We had multiple stops for food and photos. The experience was amazing.

Simone was great. He knew a lot about the history of Lisbon. This was my first time on a Segway and was a little nervous, but he was very patient and helped me through the narrower/more crowded areas. It was a fun way to easily see different parts of the city!

My husband and I have been fortunate to have ridden Segways twenty different times in many different parts of the world. And, there are great guides everywhere - but, after our Alfama and Old Town Lisbon Segway ride today - I can confidently say that our guide Peter is supremely the best of the best. Passionate about all things Portugal, and so very knowledgeable about Portugal’s history and culture, he enthusiastically conveyed information about Portugal that helped us to better understand Portugal’s worldwide contributions, historically and in the present day. Peter’s positive nature and upbeat personality were a pleasure and we are grateful for his time, skill, and expertise. The Segway ride was a delight and it comes highly recommended. Two thumbs, way, way up!!

Never been on a Segway but it was easy after the instructions from our guide. A great way to navigate round the narrow, hilly streets of Lisbon old town. Great value for money, good fun and a fabulous guide in Eduardo.

We toured Alfama with Eduardo, and it was a great experience. There was horrible rain that delayed our arrival in Lisbon, and the tour operator was able to reschedule. Then rain again at the new day and time and another rescheduling. Finally got to tour on the afternoon of our second day, and it was great. Eduardo is a charming and knowledgeable guide, who urged us to have fun, and we did! As others have said, this is less a food tour than others we have taken, but there was more than enough food to eat. It was just less about the food and more about the history of the neighborhood and details about the sights. Highly recommend, and consider yourself lucky if Eduardo is your guide!

Our guide Peter is so knowledgable, and it’s really nice for the first-time visit to the country to learn a great deal of the history. The trip itself is so fun, especially on all the hills. We love it!
