And Sheldon ended up with a lot of left-over Pasteis de Belem. 🤣🙈 This tour was exactly as described so do please read the text - you get exactly what you payed for. As to us, we spent two interesting stress-free hours on a nice walk around Belem whilst hearing about local history from the mouth…”

Vasco's information on food and wine was a bonus.”
