I took a stopover in Lisbon and took a tour of the city. Our guide, Mr. Joaquim kept us waiting for over an hour at the airport, as our flight was delayed. He was patient and had a wonderful good mood !!!! I really enjoyed the tour, the explanations and the good conversation our guide. The car was very spacious with water and wi fi. It was very worth it. I recommend.
