Guides such as Mateo, Miguel, Ana, and Tiago have been praised for keeping solo visitors included and the group moving.

“Well organized, perfect to get to meet people in Lisbon from all over the world, age range very wide but welcoming for everyone. Instructions were clear, staff were friendly and reliable. Only flaw was that some of the bars we’ve been to were too small for the number of people in the pub crawl, so it was a bit overcrowded, but nevertheless it was a cool experience, 100% recommend.”
