In love with Lisbon
I was expecting this would be boring, but actually it was a positive surprise. Very fun, the escort guide was helpful and kind to us. I loved Lisbon!! It has such a good vibe, I might move to live in this city, lovely, lovely. Want to come back. The hotels were a great option, we chose superior plus A.
Rebecca Lisandra
Very kind people
We are not used to traveling with everything arranged, usually, we go by ourselves. But, a friend of ours recommended this and we booked at livingtours.com. They are very kind, helped us in every possible way, gave us recommendations. The escorted tour, the guide was professional, never missed a schedule. The local guides were very informative, not boring, and explained the cities in a way we would understand. If we return to Spain we may book again a multi-day tour to the north part of Spain and Portugal.
