Although the meeting location was hard to find, we did get there on time today, May 9th, for our supposed 10:30 entrance. Unfortunately, no one was there; so we ended up purchasing entrance tickets at the castle entrance. There was no signage at the specified location, & the shop owners at that location had never heard of TripAdvisor or Viator. We never saw anyone in the entire castle area with a Viator or TripAdvisor paddle or flag, or anything. TripAdvisor sold us a mirage & a big hassle, & we assume we can at least look forward to a complete refund if they are an honest company. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE !

Rui was the best guide we've ever had on a walking tour. His knowledge of the history and culture on our tour was incredible. He took his time to explain the significance of the areas we toured like none other. A genuine nice guy as well. By the way, the others in the group had cancelled so it was a 2.5 hour private tour for me and my wife. A true professional.

This Castle offers nothing special, the best thing you can do is take photographs from the towers. Then you go up and down the steps but little more.

Very informative and pleasant guide. Visited a couple of churches and view points but the skip the line at the castle saved hours. Guide had a real passion for the castle and the views are terrific. A camera obscura show was included which was interesting. Didn’t hang around for the mock battle!

The tour director was amazing and very thorough! What I thought would just be a tour of the castle, turned out to be an interesting tour of the Alfama region of Lisbon too.

A place that offers beautiful landscapes and a lot of historical knowledge when we visit its interior. You can get to it on foot, by tram or by bus. It is suggested to go up one way and go down another. Enjoy more.

We had a tour with Andriy in the afternoon. Even though we were only a group of 2 people, they were nice enough to not cancel the tour. Andriy was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of history of Lisbon to us. The fast track access to the castle would be especially useful during peak tourist season in Lisbon.

Visited Church of Saint Anthony, Se Lisboa (Cathedral), and Castle of St. George. Our guide spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable about the history of all these locations as well as the historic Alfama neighborhood. Really enjoyed the 360° views around the city of Lisbon!

Andriy was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide. He made Lisbon’s history come to life! He brought us to the most picturesque places in the Alfama and knew the best details about every street!
We got a VIP tour of the cathedral and learned about St. Anthony.. the patron matchmaking saint of lost items. He knew the castle of Saint George like the back of his hand. Andriy is very intelligent and kept us interested and captivated about the siege and earthquake.
We had a marvelous time and highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
