Family Friendly Lisbon Tour - Wonderful tour with a patient and knowledgeable guide. Riccardo did a great job tailoring the day to our diverse group (young kids and young at heart grandparents). We really enjoyed our afternoon in the city.

Great experience - We had a great experience with Ângelo. He was very informative and was great with our kids, ages 4 and 5. He even had recommendations for the remainder of our trip. Great way to start out our time in Lisbon!

Great intro to Lisbon! - My partner and I arrived in Lisbon and wanted to get a bit familiar with Lisbon on our first day. This tour was perfect and Ana Rita was a great guide. She shared lots of history and knowledge. We also learned the secret to not have to climb all the hills in Lisbon…there are lifts! Overall a good short intro to Lisbon.

Perfect introduction to the city of Lisbon! - Before we even started the tour, Angelo was kind and accommodating. My husband and I were travelling with my elderly parents and our 6-year-old daughter. My father has some mobility limitations, and Angelo was extraordinarily accommodating by meeting us at our centrally-located hotel, taking a very slow pace for the tour and adjusting the tour with frequent breaks and routes that allowed us all to participate. Angelo possesses an infectious love of his home city, Lisbon, and shared amazing stories and historical facts about the city with us. Angelo also finished the tour by forwarding many suggestions to us for places to eat and other things to do/see. This was an invaluable introduction to the city of Lisbon for us and we would not hesitate to recommend Angelo as a wonderful and accommodating tour guide!

Excellent tour definitely recommend. - Lucia was an excellent guide. She has a great sense of humour. Focused on pointing out the key sights in the different districts of the city. Lucia gave us some great tips and tricks to navigate Lisbon and recommended some great places to visit as well as where some really good pastel de natas can be found! Thank you

Lisbon with Locals tour - the best - An absolute win starting off our holiday in Portugal with "withlocals". The experience provided a base for further "withlocal" tours we did in other cities. It gave us an opportunity to figure out some city secrets, best of places and other trips to add to our itinerary. We found an absolute gem in Rita. She felt like one of the family and conversation was easy going and even our young teen boys had a great time and enjoyed the entire trip. Rita is well versed, knowledgeable and a wealth of knowledge regarding Lisbon.We cannot thank her enough and sing her praises. What a trip.

A great kickstart start for our trip to Lisboa! - Carlos knows Lisboa, he knows the present and history. The guides walk with him was a great kickstart for us, two adults, and for boys 16 years old. Carlos was able to involve us all in the tour young and old(er)! My husband was recovering from a flue and consequently short breathed. Carlos noticed that and found us a (for us) hidden elevator in Alfama. He was perceptive in everyones needs and constantly involving us all with fun facts. The extra tips he gave us where great from the stamp in the bookstore to a delicious lunch place! Muito obrigada Carlos!

Afternoon in Lisbon with Jorge - Our family of 5 had a lovely afternoon with Jorge getting oriented in Lisbon. We started at Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara. The kids were entertained by a guy making humongous bubbles while Jorge gave us a history lesson on Lisbon while pointing out places from our beautiful viewpoint we were at as well as showing us on maps he had. We stopped multiple times to get snacks including pastel de nata, cod cakes and gelato. We covered a lot of ground on our tour but had ample breaks to rest. We visited many places including the Elevador de Santa Justa which was probably my favorite stop and we finished at Sao Jorge Castle to see the peacocks and take in some more great views of this beautiful city. Jorge was a very informative guide and I would recommend him. That being said Withlocals changed our tour guide twice after I booked originally.
