We just spent 2 hours touring the monastery with a guide I was introduced to via one of Rick’s podcasts, and we were absolutely thrilled with the experience. Rafael Zamith Pereira - expert knowledge of Portugese history, wonderfully connects technological innovation and Portugese ambitions to teach the importance of the monastery. Highly recommend Rafael (www.thejeronimostour.com)!!

We also toured with Rafael October.
He was fantastic. Knew his stuff, was not boring, and was very easy going. Answered all our weird questions. We also recommend him.

We toured the Jeronimos Monastery many years ago. Glad to hear it is still educating travelers about Portuguese history.
