“Rafael was an outstanding and a very passionate guide. His enthusiasm was contagious. Rafael provided so much information that we would have missed if we had toured on our own. Details of symbolism was very in dept. Do not tour the Monestary on your own, you will miss a lot. Because the church was closed we also enjoyed the monument across the street, again very informative!”

“Rafael was a wonderful tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot during our tour with him! There isn’t a lot of information posted inside the monastery. Rafael was great at giving us the history and showing all the intricate details of this amazing building. He also had some great recommendations for the neighborhood! I would highly recommend booking this tour.”

“We had the pleasure of touring the Monastery with Rafael. Rafael blew us away with his knowledge and passion of this beautiful landmark. He was able to answer all our questions and tied together art, history, literature, politics, story telling and even poetry into this tour. He also ensured we spent minimum time waiting in line and gave us tips for the remainder of our time in Belém. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent guide!”

“Rafael is an amazing tour guide. He took us on a tour from Lisbon to Porto with several stops between. Not only did he provide terrific historical knowledge, he described how that history produced the Portuguese culture we see today.
Rafael is passionate about Portugal's history and its future. He's also a very nice person to spend time with.“
