We also had a late November booking and some weather to contend with. The company was more than accommodating and helped us reschedule after a rainstorm. Highly recommended tour and excellent way to see the sights of Lisbon. I also suggest scheduling early in your visit as the tour provides an perfect way to plan additional city…”
