Mon Ami Maravilha - Lisbon Street Art Private Tuk Tuk Tour
Description
Did you know Lisbon is one of the capitals of street art? The walls of Marvila are an open-air gallery where you can see the work of international graffiti artists celebrating Ibero-American culture. 15 huge pieces of art on buildings situated on the top of a hill, the Tejo in the distance… simply amazing. Even more amazing is to stroll through a neighbourhood that, at every new corner, uncovers a layer of the history of Lisbon: 17th and 18th-century convents and palaces, art deco industrial warehouses and buildings, vilas of factory workers and urban vegetable gardens. All of this at a 20-min drive from the centre, in the eastern part of Lisbon.

A brilliant alternative insiders tour of street art and the city. Tiago gave us some recent background to the areas we visited as well as seeing the most epic street art walls and sculptures. He was moito simpatico, lots of fun and full of enthusiasm. Thoroughly recommend
It was amazing; Thiago is the "Next Level" guide. We also had the opportunity to try local delicacies. The viewpoint on Rua Senhora do Monte is something I cannot describe, breathtaking ❤️
Very friendly and culty. I strongly recommend
The Nuno is simply a spectacle! The tour is very funny. I will do more with Mon Ami Tours for sure!
I live in Lisbon and have done this type of tour before. Mon Ami tours has consistently been the most flexible and responsive company when making plans. My guest had very little time in Lisbon and Mario was able to combine “major city sites”and the street art. He has an excellent knowledge of Portuguese/Lisbon history as well as of the artists, their issues etc. He was able to provide good context for the city and the various art pieces. It was the highlight of my friend’s visit.
We’re especially grateful for your feedback, knowing that you live in Lisbon and already have experience with this type of tour. It means a lot to us that you found Mon Ami Tours flexible and responsive when organising the experience for your guest. We’re very happy to hear that Mario was able to combine the main city highlights with the street art tour, and that his knowledge and context helped bring both the history and the artists’ stories to life. Knowing that this became the highlight of your friend’s visit is truly the best compliment we could receive.
One of the ways we explore and understand a city is through its street artists, the true and honest storytellers. Lisbon has a vibrant street art culture supported by the municipality. Exploring this aspect of the city should not be missed when you visit. We took the two hour tuk tuk street art tour with Tiago. He took us outside the tourist places to see the real Lisbon. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about his city. He understands the pulse of the city and the complicated relationships, between art, artists, and urban renewal. We came away with a better understanding of the city of Lisbon and its people. We highly recommend this experience! (I would add pictures as we took many... but that takes away from the actual experience...So take the tour, you won't be disappointed 😊)
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful reflection on your experience. We’re delighted to hear that the street art tour with Tiago helped you discover a more authentic side of Lisbon, beyond the traditional tourist areas. His passion for the city and deep understanding of its street art culture are indeed a very special part of this experience. It’s wonderful to know that the tour gave you a richer perspective on the artists, the community and the city itself. Your warm recommendation truly means a lot to us.
Mario was a phenomenal guide! Very thoughtful, humorous, and passionate. We saw a variety of graffiti art all across Lisbon.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Mario and that his humour, passion and thoughtful approach helped make the experience so special. It’s also great to know that you were able to discover such a wide variety of street art across Lisbon. Your kind words are truly appreciated.
Wonderful tour! Mario, our tuk tuk driver and guide, has not only a superb knowledge of street art, but he’s mostly like a curator in an open air museum. He tells stories for every piece of art in every wall, in every road… simultaneously, this tour was the best way to see sights of Lisbon that we would have never seen otherwise. One of the best guides and persons we’ve ever met on a journey. We would be more than pleased to do it again in our next visit. A total respect for “Super” Mario from Dimitri and Popi with our compliments!
What a beautiful message to receive — thank you so much for sharing it.

Your words about both the experience and the person behind it mean a great deal, and we’re so happy that this became one of the highlights of your travels. We would be very pleased to welcome you again on your next visit to Lisbon.
Mario was an excellent tour guide who took us from Lisbon up to Cascais and Sintra. We had an excellent time. Mario was very informative, friendly and accommodating. He took us places we would likely not have found without his direction. He also took us to a local family owned restaurant which was the best meal we had in Portugal fora fraction of what we paid elsewhere. We highly recommend this tour.
It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your journey from Lisbon to Cascais and Sintra. We’re delighted that Mario’s friendliness, knowledge and flexibility helped you discover places you might never have found on your own, and that the local restaurant became such a memorable highlight of your trip. Thank you for your generous recommendation. Knowing that this experience stood out so positively during your time in Portugal truly means a lot to us.
We loved our street art tour! It’s a great way to see parts of the city that you may not normally visit. Mario was wonderful, we would definitely book with him again :)
