This list is ranked by the weight of reviews rather than commission, and every value comes from the same fields, so the columns line up fairly.
Ratings count for each option
Each bar shows how many ratings it has, the score in brackets beside it; on its own a score tells you little without the crowd behind it.
A score resting on fewer than about ten ratings tells you more about luck than about quality.

How far to trust the rating
The rating is 4.7 from 1,555 reviews. It ranks 4th in that category by number of reviews, so the score rests on a large review base. The score is supported by volume, not just a small sample. That review count is the main reason to trust it; it is not a handful of votes.
Where the day goes, in order
The stops come in the order the day usually runs, each with what is there and the figures behind it; the data sheet holds the rest.
Meeting point
Where you meet: “Meet next to the Monumento ao Rei D. Pedro V monument, at Batalha Square, in front of the National Theater Sao Joao. To avoid delays, please make sure to arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start of the tour. The guide cannot wait for latecomers due to the strict schedule of the itinerary.
