Amazing!

My husband and I booked last minute and enjoyed a private tour with our guide, Luna. She was outstanding and we would definitely request her again if possible! She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and was so informative as we walked the hills and narrow streets of old Lisbon. 5 stars!

Amazing!

This was a memorable tour that was one of our favorite parts of our visit to Lisbon. Fatima was the guide for us. She grew up in the area and also has a degree in history and has worked in various museums in town; thus, she is very knowledgeable and quite amazing. We learned and walked and saw so much during the tour. She gave us an inside tour of Casa dos Bicos, and the ancient Roman walls and ruins with their the history. She also took us to hidden gems in the neighborhood where we felt immersed into the local life, away from the tourist crowds. After the tour, we gained a much greater appreciation of the history and evolving culture of the area. It was so worth it to do it. Fatima is the ideal person to guide a tour. We felt really fortunate and grateful.

Amazing!

Great tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was a worthwhile experience. There was a fair bit of uphill walking so may not be suitable for very young children.

Alex did a great job on this tour. It was a nice way to see the old city. With the many dead end streets and maze like streets you will save a lot of time and learn a lot more with a guide!

Amazing!

Joao is local, he showed us corners and told stories from his childhood most other guides would not know. We kept meeting his friends and neighbors on the way.

Amazing!

An informative, and beautiful tour. Our guide had a thorough knowledge of the history and architecture of this ancient city. Bring very comfortable shoes, and a couple of bottles of water, as this one is not for the faint of heart. The views are breathtaking, but it is a significant climb to the top. I would recommend it to anyone who is moderately fit, and adventurous.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and let us ask any questions we had. She also was protective of us when walking due to all the crazy car drivers. She was great!
