This was a great tour. Elizabete was amazing and very informative! The airport pickup was very smooth. We saw many sights and learned a lot about the history of Lisbon.
Thanks a million! Was a pleasure to show you Lisbon. See you on your next trip to Portugal!
Alex was an excellent guide—informative, interesting, and attentive. His command of English and Portuguese history were academic-level, without being pedantic. Highly recommend!
Totally private experience for two of us with Elisabete who was fantastic! Excellent communication beforehand. Confirmed all of our travel logistics. Picked us up at airport without any issues. Met us inside terminal. Had new, clean Mercedes van - plenty of room. Wonderful tour around Lisbon for four hours. Covered all the key stops. Elisabete made sure to accommodate our interests in with great local food stops. Very engaging the whole time. Dropped us at train station after for our train to South Portugal. Elisabete is very patient, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Shares fascinating Portuguese history in easy—to-digest way. Highly recommend Elisabete and the layover tour!
Thank you very much for your review. It was great to meet you and show you Lisbon.
Alex is an awesome tour guide -- the best I found in Portugal during my week-long vacation in the country. Over the course of his 4-hour "Lisbon Layover" tour, I got a rich historical journey, describing points of interest as they fit into the centuries of history in this fascinating city. Alex is thoughtful and intellectual, sprinkling in varied perspectives as we touched upon many of the turning points of Lisbon's history: industrial, religious, political, and cultural. I also appreciated the unique "layover" format of the tour; he picked me up from the airport with my bags and ended the tour at my hotel room. What better way to get a ride to your hotel? His Mercedes van was clean, comfortable, and very accommodating; he had bottles of water and even provided a portable power bank for me when my phone battery was running low (from taking photos!). Finally, I just thought that Alex was a lot of fun to hang with. He is funny and welcoming, showing me several of the best places to eat in Lisbon (from the perspective of a local) and adding personal stories and jokes along the way. The 4 hours flew by. I will definitely look for Alex again the next time I'm in Lisbon and will recommend him to all of my friends.
My wife and I recently took a transatlantic cruise that disembarked in Lisbon. We had a better part of the day to spend in the area before we had to catch our flight to London later that evening. We wanted to make the most of our time in this beautiful city and a friend highly recommended Alex. Fortunately Alex was available and picked us up at the cruise terminal, showed us around Lisbon before dropping us off at the airport. Alex is very professional, knowledgeable and put together a great day showing us the sights of the Lisbon area that also included a nice little restaurant in Cascais and a tour of the Pena Palace. We left planning a return trip when we can spend more time. If you are planning a trip to Portugal I would recommend Alex.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the Best Tours We’ve Ever Taken! Our tour with Alex from Top Ten Tours in Lisbon was absolutely fantastic. Lisbon is such a magical and beautiful city, and Alex made the experience even more special. His knowledge of the history, architecture, and culture of Lisbon is impressive, and he shares it in such an engaging and friendly way that the whole tour feels natural and fun. We enjoyed it so much that we actually did the tour again during a layover in Lisbon! That was our second time with Alex, and it was just as great as the first. It’s rare to repeat a tour, but this experience is truly worth it. If you’re visiting Lisbon, we highly recommend this tour. Alex is an amazing guide who truly loves his city, and it shows. We will definitely do it again. Next time: Cintra and Porto!
Wonderful way to see Lisboa in just one day. Perfect tour around town. Knowledgeable and fun experience.
Convenient pickup at airport. Alex is a very informative tour guide. Gave a great lay of the land of Lisbon and an overall wonderful experience. Would recommend this for everyone.
We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Filipe for our 4-hour Lisbon Layover tour! From before the trip communications to confirm pick-up details to airport drop-off, the experience was seamless. With Filipe being a native & current resident of the city, we really got to learn about both the history and perspectives of a local. Will recommend this excursion for our friends & family who decide to visit!
Alex was a great tour guide. He was friendly, punctual, and knowledgeable. This tour was exactly what I had hoped for during a long layover in Lisbon.
