We really enjoyed our tour with Tiago, who was both knowledgeable and very easy to spend time with. He introduced us to different neighborhoods around Lisbon and shared so much interesting history about Portugal along the way. As first-time visitors, we especially appreciated all the restaurant suggestions and local recommendations he gave us after the tour. He also pointed out small details and places we probably would have walked past on our own. We would absolutely recommend Tiago to anyone visiting Lisbon, such a friendly and thoughtful guide!
We really loved our kickstart tour with Beatriz. She introduced the city beautifully and shared useful tips that helped us for the rest of our stay in Lisbon. This experience was ideal for us since it was our first time in the city. Highly recommend!
This was a really strong introductory tour and the perfect way to kick off our short trip. Marta gave us excellent tips and advice that we ended up using throughout our stay. She shared a great overview of the history and culture of Lisbon and Portugal, and kept everything light and engaging. The tour was fun, informative, and never felt rushed.
Our visit to Lisbon with Beatriz was an absolute delight. She led us through stunning neighborhoods, sharing fascinating stories and local insights. Her adaptability was remarkable—she effortlessly adjusted our schedule after our train delay, making the whole experience smooth and relaxed. This tour was the ideal mix of charm, culture, and comfort. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to truly feel Lisbon!
Rui has such a relaxed energy, yet his passion for his hometown truly shines through. He shared so much fascinating insight about Lisbon’s and Portugal’s rich past, and his storytelling made everything come alive. We wandered through charming backstreets we never would’ve discovered on our own and stopped at breathtaking viewpoints. Thank you, Rui, for such a memorable afternoon!
Our time in Lisbon with Sofia as our guide was truly special. She led us through stunning corners of the city and shared practical tips that made everything feel easy and fun. Sofia created such a friendly atmosphere that it felt more like walking around with a local friend than being on a tour. An experience we’ll always remember and one we’d happily recommend!
We've had an absolutely great experience with Andre as our private guide. We were a family with 3 children (8, 13, 14) and had an excellent time in Lisbon. Andre connected to all of us and did not mention rather boring dates of historical fact, but he made really interesting stories, enriched with lots of fun facts. Really a joy to participate. Another time in Portugal, we're sure to check first if Andre is available for any tour! Thanks!
