This experience was amazing. I booked this as a team building activity for my work colleagues to help us bond and experience the city so if anyone is looking for a low maintenance activity that can get competitive, this is a good one. Our hotel was within the area as well so it was really convenient and simple getting around. Everything felt safe and simple to follow also. We had a really good time learning through the stories and exploring the city of Lisbon. I will say for parts of the game you have to go into some hotels or facilities to participate so be aware that staff may not know what you're doing. Just show them the game you're playing and they were happy to help. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Magical place exceptional exhibition. Interesting comments !! No queue ... Easy access to the paintings because not too many people ... rare ... I had taken premium tickets but it was not useful suddenly .. (1st week February holidays)

I had such an amazing experience despite never having done canyoning before. I felt super safe and the guides were super nice and helpful :) Transport to and from the location was also amazing. Thank you so much!
