Fabulous start to a few days in Lisbon: informative, interesting and pleasurable! - Sara, our tour guide was immensely friendly, entertaining and informative. It was a pleasure to spend the time in her group. I'm 64, recovering from illness and barely noticed the hills! Every part of the tour was interesting with lots to see and a reasonable pace. I easily get restless and distracted but Sarah kept my attention throughout.

Charming & unforgettable. - Highly recommended.
.
The narrow, winding streets and steep alleys, filled with a mix of traditional homes, vibrant street art, and hidden courtyards. The labyrinthine layout is part of its charm.
The views of the Tagus River and the red-tiled rooftop & beautifully tiled wall, making it a great photo spot
Panoramic views of the city and the river.
A tour of Alfama provides a glimpse into Lisbon’s rich history, culture, and tradition. It’s a place where the past and present coexist, offering an immersive experience in one of Lisbon’s most atmospheric neighborhoods.

Exploring Alfama - We had an excellent time on this walking tour. We scheduled it on our first day of arriving in Lisbon and it was amazing! We were taught about the history as well as lots of fun facts. Make sure to wear good walking shoes as you are up and down many hills with cobblestone streets! We really loved exploring the Alfama district with Beatrice!

Very informative! - Wow!! Thank you Sara! Right from the start I knew our tour with Sara was going to be great, and it was. Sara full of so much history of the area. Any question we had for Sara as a group, she answered with ease. I like her straight forward approach.

Thank you Sara!
