Alicia was an amazing guide! She shared a lot of really great information while keeping things light and fun. My family and I had the best time learning about all the monuments around Belém and its history!

This tour was awesome! The skip the line ticket to the Jeronimos Monastery alone makes it worth booking. While you are enjoying a crowd-free stroll through the amazing architecture and art of this site, others will be in a que an hour+ long. Our guide Alicia was superb! She is passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and knows how to make the tour run seamlessly. Highly recommend!
