Important Information
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
- Children must be accompanied by an adult.
- A minimum of 4 people (2 adults + 2 children) per booking is required (or equivalent paid amount for smaller groups/families)
- Subject to favorable weather conditions. If canceled due to poor weather, you will be given the option of an alternative date or full refund.
- Although it is very interesting, the city pavement can become very irregular. Also, because the city has many sloped streets (Lisbon is known as the city of 7 hills), it might become a bit difficult for baby strollers and pushchairs. If you need to bring one, make sure it is a light, thin one. Baby carriers, back carriers or woven wraps & slings are a good option for babies and toddlers.
- Make sure you and the kids wear comfortable clothes and shoes. A coat or a sweater might be useful even in summer time, because it gets cold after sunset. In summertime, don't forget to bring a hat and sunglasses for all (Lisbon is known by its fantastic bright sunlight) and make sure you apply sunscreen before starting the tour. In winter or rainy weather, don't forget to bring a raincoat.

We had a fantastic time with our Little Lisbon tour. We are a family of 5 - kids ages 10, 8, and 5. The tour was informative - full of history and our fabulous tour guide had games and challenges to keep the kids entertained and engaged. There were a few times that our younger kids lost interest - because there is so much history to learn - and our guide was fabulous at figuring out how to re-engage them again. I would strongly recommend going on tour with them!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We will share it with your guide. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Julia is probably the best tour guide we’ve ever had in any location, she was extremely knowledgeable, fun, easy going, and kept our 11 and 7 year olds as engaged as us, the parents! I cannot recommend this tour enough, and Julia in particular as a absolute 5-star guide.
Hello! Thank you so much for your comments. We shared your review with Julia and she is also very happy to hear that you all enjoyed our tour. We wish you and your family an amazing Summer!
We did two Little Lisbon tours, one was the family tour and the other was the food tour. Both tours were excellent and the grand kids (8 and 6) really enjoyed it along with parents and grandkids. The two guides were entertaining, they knew their stuff, imparted knowledge freely and provided unexpected challenges for the kids who were enthralled by the experiences.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to have contributed to a good family experience in Lisbon. We look forward to host you again in the future!
We had the best tour with Miguel! It was so nice to be with a guide who could talk about the history of the city in engaging, age appropriate ways! He was knowledgable and totally understanding of our 5 and 7 year old. We loved the scavenger hunt to find the different tiles throughout the city and the smell test of the different spices and plants that various settlers brought to Lisbon. Such a fun way to learn about the rich history of the city.
Hello! Thank you so much for your review. Miguel had a great time with your family and we are very happy you had fun and all learned interesting things about the city. We look forward to meeting you again in Lisbon!
Mariana was wonderful! We had a great experience and learned a lot. She was very sensitive to the mobility limitations of certain people in our group and knew how to keep the children in our group engaged. Highly recommend!
Dear Kate! Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure for me to meet and guide your lovely family in Lisbon! Wish you all the best! Mariana

Thank you so much for your feedback! Miguel is very happy to hear this. Looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon again in the future!
We all loved our tour with Little Lisbon - grown ups and the kids!! It’s so great to have a local show you around and help you to spot the details and the stories behind them. Great activities for the kids (ours were 8. 10 and 12), thoughtful route with rest stops for the kids (and adults) and fun surprises / activities along the way. We will be recommending this to all our friends.
