★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 410 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $39Cheapest good one

Join a guide such as Rui, Andre, or Andriy for a three-hour walk through Lisbon’s Belém district.

The group is limited to eight people, but monastery admission and food cost extra.

“Good experience. It would have been nice to know in advance that the Belém Tower was closed for renovations and not as we were walking up to it. Receive no notifications at booking or when the tour started. No price discount either.”
