Great tour! Andriy was informative and gave us a fantastic overview of the history of Lisbon. We walked through neighborhoods, churches, historic sites and shopping areas. Thanks to Andriy’s tour, we’re ready to continue to explore the rest of Portugal with history in mind.

Andriy was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had. He was also very diligent in making sure we avoided crowds. Thanks for a great tour Andriy!

We had an informative and friendly guide who very much pitched it to what we wanted to know about. Seemed very unflappable and was very helpful.

Andriy our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent walking tour, of about 3 hours, of the main streets and buildings at the centre of Lisbon, with a stop for coffee and pastel de nata along the way. We visited the world's oldest bookstore. We discussed Lisbon's recent and not-so-recent history, its politics in the 20th century and its current economy. Very enjoyable and would recommend.

This was simply outstanding. Rui, our tour guide, is a scholar. Highly knowledgeable. He provided some of the best historical context I've experienced on any tour, and I've done my share of traveling. This is an absolute must for anyone interested in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Highly, Highly recommended. I would take this tour again.

The tour was super! Rui, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the topic, even tracing the roots of slavery to the Roman era. His enthusiasm about the subject was palpable and his style is open and engaging. He even recommended a great Mozambican restaurant (Roda Vive). I’d heartily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon who’s curious about Portugal’s involvement in the trans-Atlantic space trade.

We took the Slave Trade Historical Tour, and it was both enlightening and deeply moving, shedding light on Portugal's dark history of the slave trade. Naturally, it was also very troubling and saddening to learn about this painful chapter in history. We discovered the tour through an encounter my friend had at the airport with an African American traveler. I'm Irish and went with my friend, who is of Somali heritage. At first, we were a bit concerned the tour might sensationalize the topic of slavery, but our guide, Rui Fernandes, far exceeded our expectations. Rui's deep understanding and passion for the history of Portugal and its involvement in the slave trade were evident from the start. This is a serious and difficult subject, but Rui approached it with professionalism, patiently answering all of our questions. His knowledge was extraordinary, and his engaging storytelling kept us riveted for the entire three hours. Though three hours is a long time to walk and stand, we had a break and the route wasn't too strenuous. I’d recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing tissues, as the experience can be emotional.

My guide, Rui, was punctual and very informative. I especially liked that he had visual aids to help with his presentation. I did multiple tours this trip, and this walking tour was by far my favorite!

Very quick and responsive. Purchased online in 5 minutes and saved me an hour or more by not having to stand in line at the castle

Very nice tour. We were scheduled for a morning tour and the operator contacted us asking if we would like to reschedule to the afternoon based on the weather forecast. Glad we did. The guide was knowledgeable and tailored the tour based on our group's wants. He added a coffee break in at the groups request where we set and had a great visit learning about daily life for people in Lisbon. I recommend this tour.

Great way to see Lisbon and get a feeling for the city. Lots of information and great sites to see. Lots of walking so be prepared.

Very engaging and well paced tour Andriy is a great host and very knowledgeable of his city He gave us a wealth of context on the area without overloading us He was able to summarise complex historical and political events without over simplification

Andriy was an excellent guide! He paced the tour really well, gave us a great insight into the history of Lisbon and was very engaging. Loved that the tour started at the highest point and we worked our way down hill :)

Fantastic experience, great walking tour across the sights of Alfama. Followed by a fantastic detailed tour of the Castle of St George.

This tour examining the history of the slave trade in Lisbon was exceptional. We were presented with an historical timeline of slavery in the region from ancient times, through the Atlantic Slave Trade, and into the impact of slavery on modern times. Rui’s knowledge of the topic was incredibly thorough, and was well-documented with historical artifacts - copies of paintings, facts and numbers, maps and trade routes - which he used to illustrate his points. Although this tour is clearly a passion, Rui’s presentation was clear and unbiased. For such a serious topic, and one so full of historical information, it never felt stuffy. Everyone in the group was thoroughly engaged in the topic, as it is one with connections to so many of our societies across the world. The tour was a comfortable walk, with plenty of stops along the way. We were always invited to ask questions, which were welcomed and answered in a patient and thoughtful manner. A thought-provoking experience that made each of us want to learn more.
