★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 87 reviews · 365 days · from $24

“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! these guys run a scam. I paid for two audio tours in Lisbon and they did not include the audio with the ticket for either tour!!! They fool you by saying you get a complimentary audio tour, but it’s not for your tour, it’s a city tour. Ridiculous! You can buy a ticket for much less when you get there directly. Don’t waste your money. They ruined this experience for us and wouldn’t give us our money back.”
