Our Tour starts precisely in one of the main City Squares, the square where the iconic Avenida da Liberdade ends. The Square that is a tribute to Portugal's independence.
Being one of the least adorned, it is perhaps one of the richest churches, a tribute to peace, tolerance and unity.
A tribute of the city of Lisbon to the victims of intolerance and religious fanaticism resulting from the Jewish massacre of 1506.
Rossio Square is one of the oldest and most beautiful squares in Lisbon. For more than six centuries it has been the scene of several important events in the city's history.
It opened in 1846 and has overlooked some of the city's greatest historical events.
An imposing station whose construction date is sure to surprise you.
The entrance to Lisbon's most cosmopolitan neighborhood.
The public transport that is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful "monuments" of the city. We will be able to access the free area of the Elevator.

Built in the XVI Century, this was the earliest Jesuit church in Portugal. The building served as the society's home church in Portugal for over 200 years, before the Jesuits were expelled from the country. Inside is one of the world's most valuable chapels.
Lisbon's nightlife district, with over 500 years of History. La bohéme, the Lisbon way.

We were originally booked onto a tour at 11 on Friday, but i was contacted by the tour operator at 9am to ask if we could move to the 10am tour. This was not possible, so we agreed to move to the 3.30pm tour later that day instead (despite the heat). When we arrived for the 3.30 tour, we were the only people attending. So, given the heat and the economics of the situation with it being a tip-based tour, we agreed to defer until the 10am tour on the Saturday morning. (Fernanda - the tour guide who would have taken us - was incredibly helpful and walked with us to the metro, shared recommendations etc). We then turned up for the saturday morning 10am tour - as rearranged - but our guide (Nessim?) unfortunately didn’t…. So about 10 people were left high and dry. Fernanda - who deserves a medal - was on hand and managed the different customers with aplomb. We were offered a change onto the 11am tour, but had other plans at 12.30 so that wouldn't have worked - and by this point we had lost interest and faith in the whole idea. So, all in all, the experience has been abysmal. We have been accommodating and flexible twice, but the non-appearance of the tour guide on Saturday morning was the final straw.
Right at the beginning, our guide told to pay her if we left early. When asked why we had to pay again when we had already paid when booking with TripAdvisor or Viator, we were told that we should pay an additional 5 euros per person since that was what the guide had to pay for the booking. I would rather this be included in the booking price than additional money being asked for unexpectedly rather than as a tip. I say this as someone who usually tips very generously but feel it should reflect how good the guide is.
It was a 10/10 tour, Claudia was our tour guide and she is just the best. Takes you to the most important parts of Lisbon, explains the history, gives you cool facts about Portugal and it's food and language, recommends restaurants and food and gives you a break to get some water and take photos. We had the best time. Obrigada or Gracias ;)
Un crack David! Un tour muy ameno e interesante. Volveremos. Muy recomendable
Belen is very enthusiastic and energetic. Her knowledge of Portuguese history and Lisboa current and past made her presentations informative, interesting and fun!
This 2.5 hour tour of the Lisbon city centre was excellent and I recommend for everyone, but particularly for people at the start of their visit to the city. Our guide Cecilia was excellent - she gave an interesting and passionate history of the city and Portugal. The sites we visited were were good too. We started in the Restorers monument and ended in commerce square.
We enjoyed this walking tour. Claudia was very informative.
An excellent tour delivered by Cecelia! She’s very passionate about the history and we were able to learn a lot about Lisbon. Would recommend this tour to all visiting Lisbon.
Cecilia is an excellent guide. Her tour was very interesting, informative, emotional, and artistic.
