Guided by locals - Fun, friendly and informative. An excellent way to start a city trip. My teen liked it much more than he thought he would.

Great way to learn about the city! - Francisco was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area. We learned so many new things during the tour. He was accommodating to the age ranges we had in our tour (two seniors, one child and one adult).

10 out of 10 - My family and I had the pleasure of touring Lisbon with Jorge. He was a wealth of knowledge, extremely patient (we had our 6 year old son with us) and just overall a very personable guide. We walked all over the city stopping at two locations for a pasty and ice cream. It was an overall 10 out of 10 day and if visiting Lisbon again I would seek Jorge for another tour.

Family with kids in Lisbon - Luis was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, patient and flexible. He knew the city in and out and took us to places we would have never seen on our own . I would highly recommend a tour with him.

Great tour with friendly and knowledgeable guide. - Francisco took us on a tour through the “center” of Lisbon. He showed us the Commerce square, Alfama and Mouraria. Fransisco is very knowledgeable and friendly. We were impressed with his story telling skills and we learned about the history of Lisbon as well. We also got some tips on where to go and where to eat during the rest of our stay in Lisbon. We had a fantastic afternoon!

Wonderful local perspective on Lisbon - Lucia was excellent as a guide! We felt like we got an insider’s perspective of Lisbon, along with some interesting history and an overview of several neighborhoods. She also shared her favorite local places for the best Pastéis de nata and bifanas. Highly recommend!

A very informative tour with a genuinely lovely person - We had a very informative tour with Lucia on our first morning in Lisbon. She met us promptly at the agreed time and - despite my kids (12 & 9) being a bit tired after the previous day's travelling - she immediately engaged them and ensured that the tour catered to their needs as well as those of the adults. My kids asked plenty of questions and Lucia took her time to answer them genuinely. In the course of 3 hours, Lucia walked us through Lisbon which helped us get our bearings for the rest of the week. She took us to the most incredible chapel, a couple of great viewings points, we tried the custard tarts, loved the ginjinha and walked through some of the Alfama district. Lucia has plenty of good tips, advice and contacts which helped us make the most of our trip.

Francisco was great!! - Francisco was incredibly patient with our family and accommodated us keeping the tour simple and fun. We have 3 and 5 year boys so we wanted to play in a local playground and ride the historical tram and he helped make that happen. He had purchased the tram tickets in advance we do didnt have to wait in any lines with the children. He also was super helpful with all of my questions regarding other travel in Portugal and locally.
