We took a free walking tour in Lisbon, Portugal, with Hi Lisbon Walking Tours, and our guide, Walter, was absolutely wonderful! The 2.5-hour tour went by so quickly. Walter brought Lisbon’s history to life with his engaging storytelling and a bit of theatrical charm that made the experience both educational and fun. He is a fantastic guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a wonderful experience with Hi Lisbon Walking Tours on 14 May! It was a fantastic way to explore the beautiful city of Lisboa while learning about its rich history, culture, and hidden gems. The tour started right on time, and our guide, Tiago, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very organized throughout the tour. We were truly shocked and fascinated to hear about the rich and dramatic history of Lisbon, and Tiago shared many interesting stories and local insights that made the city come alive for us. We also really appreciated that he thoughtfully prepared a list of restaurants and cafés for us to visit during our free time, which made exploring Lisbon even more enjoyable. Despite all the famous uphills and downhills of the city of seven hills, the tour was fun, relaxed, and well-paced. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Lisboa beyond the usual tourist spots!

We joined a walking tour of Lisbon today. The tour was one of the most informative that we have done. Walter was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Lisbon. Great group size and we walked flat areas only, so excellent for people who prefer not to walk the hills. Highly recommended! Thanks Walter.
