    Rui was great! We learned a lot about the role Portugal played in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. I think EVERY tour should include information about slavery. Really enjoyed it!

    This guided walking tour was so much more than we expected! Rui Fernandes, our guide, was articulate and very knowledgeable about the subject and other related matters. He gave the tour substance and structure, with historical background about other countries for context - really interesting. Rui was also attentive to our group’s needs. Please make sure that you ask him questions as it really does add to the experience and discussions throughout the tour. We would highly recommend booking this walking tour! From Henry & Michelle

    Rui was an excellent host and guide for our tour. He was knowledgeable and not in a stuffy way at all. This was our first tour here in Lisbon and I don’t see how it can get any better. This is a must tour for anyone visiting Lisbon. Great pace visiting so many historical sites. Rui, we thank you for a superb outing. Kelvin and Ale

    The Historical Walking Tour about the slave trade in Lisbon with Rui was incredibly informative. Rui is passionate and well educated about history and answered any and all questions we had about this part of Portuguese history, as well as how this part of history impacted other people and cultures. Well done! I recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon, to get a unique perspective on Portuguese and African history rarely acknowledged or discussed. Thanks, Rui! NS
