The tour guide Silvio is pleasant, polite and knowledgeable! He took us to all areas of Lisbon giving thoughtful explanations of what we're seeing. He was a safe and courteous driver as well. He took time to answer our questions and ww gained a lot of knowledge about Lisbon and Portuguese living. We highly recommend starting your Lisbon experience with this tour and asking for Silvio.
We had an amazing Tuk Tuk tour in Lisbon! Our guide, Jonathan, was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about the city’s history and culture. He took us to stunning viewpoints, hidden alleys, and vibrant neighborhoods we’d never have found on our own. The ride was comfortable, fun, and a perfect way to see Lisbon’s hills without getting tired. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city!
Our guide was amazing. Lots of knowledge. Showed us places that only a person from Lisbon would know. Stop when we asked because he showed us best gelato in town. At the end he recommended a very good place to eat. It was personally designed for us
Silvio was a fantastic guide, very friendly and told us so many interesting facts about Lisbon. Such a nice way to experience the city and leave you wanting more. Would highly recommend!!!
Laura met us and took us all around Lisbon. It was a full itinerary with a lot of great stops. I especially liked her knowledge of Lisbon and all the best spots to take pics and see the breathtaking views. We had the best time and absolutely recommend.
Our tour with Laura was not a typical city tour - it was a real experience. On October 19, 2024, we were on the road with her for about 2.5 hours in the evening, almost three in the end, because that was how we got into conversation. Right from the beginning Laura asked us what we really wanted to see. We chose their favourite places - and that was the right choice. Instead of crowded hotspots, we walked through quiet streets, to quiet vantage points and into neighborhoods like Alfama, Graça, Bairro Alto and Chiado. Sights such as the Sé Cathedral, the Castelo or Lady of the Hill lay along the way - but never as pure photographic motifs, but embedded in stories, context and atmosphere. In several of these places we were all alone. No groups, no crowds - but time, air and space for real impressions. Laura picked us up immediately with her open, humorous manner. You can feel how connected she is to her city - not through big words, but through what she shows, how she explains it, which places she chooses. Their tips are honest, their routes thought out. Even the Portuguese “Saudade” explained it to us in an honest but very apt way – not as a postcard motif, but as part of how Lisbon feels. You can tell: This is not about ticking off as much as possible in a short time. Laura makes you feel welcome - not as a tourist, but as a guest. The ride was quiet, personal, never put on. If you really want to understand what this city is all about, you've come to the right place. Our tip: Ask for their favourite places - and order greetings from Steffi & Bernd.
Absolutely one of the top tours we have done. Silvio, our guide, knew everything about the area and history. He gave us ample time to explore and showed us many hidden gems. 4 hours totally flew by. We give them six stars.
Laura is a great tour guide! Speaking English speed control is good and clear, and the navigation is well understood. Carefully loaded us to many places and gave with many Recommendations. Spent 4 unforgettable hours!
Great experience with Tercio. Excellent Guide. Good information. And made the tour fit around what we wanted to get out of it. Lovely guy. Definitely recommend.
Ivo was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, fun and nothing was too much trouble for him. Loved our tour, a highlight of our trip to Lisbon. Highly recommend both Ivo and the tour.
