Everything was perfect. Martins was an excellent and professional guide. I'm very grateful. Only at the counter they didn't accept your tickets, they said you couldn't sell guided tours. They were even a bit rude to me, saying that the ticket was worthless. They moved on to the next service, leaving me behind. I bought a ticket with Martins to check for a refund. Then I was guided by Martins and everything was perfect. Thank you very much.

The castle was very interesting and we enjoyed the beautiful views. The free audio guide was informative and entertaining. We would recommend buying tickets in advance and also beating the queues by going in the morning around 9:30am as it was quiet then and we were able to walk straight through the entry gates. When we left at 11AM it was getting busy and the queues were very long.

It's great! A must-do in Lisbon! Very pretty castle with magnificent views and a superb history! Audioguides are free on site, so there's no point in ordering them online! Better to go when it opens to avoid the crowds.
