I will be waiting with a small, blue umbrella at Rossio Square by the fountain in front of the National Theater.
Things to note
Enjoy the comfort of small groups with a guide with Ph.D.-level knowledge! :D
Do not hesitate! Book the tour, have fun, and learn!
IMPORTANT: as I get a constant number of bookings, a couple of hours per week will be done by my colleague Kate, a blonde woman who has a Master's in Anthropology. I fully entrust her to be capable of replacing me, and the route is the same. Should you book the tour during such an occasion, I will send you her WhatsApp number.
