“Painting tiles at the artist’s workshop was an amazing experience. They gave us all the instructions, necessary materials and also showed us different types of tiles and sculptures being used in Portugal for decorations and on heritage buildings!!! We got 2 tiles each which will be put into kiln and we’d get them back a day after. So you’re carrying back the souvenir that you made yourself. It was fun, creative and we learnt something new so a win win for us!!! Definitely felt like re living childhood again!! Would definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Nuno was very knowledgeable and the information he shared about the tiles, different manufacturers and street art really made the rest of my visit so enriching, I was looking at tiles throughout the rest of my trip trying to identify the manufacturer, whether they were a replica and the time period they were created. I could not recommend this tour more.”
