Additional Information

Alfama is not only one of the oldest and most picturesque districts in Lisbon, but it was also one of the few neighborhoods that survived the 1755 earthquake. As a result, the city has retained its charming, familial atmosphere. The name of this neighborhood is derived from the Arabic ‘Al-hamma,’ which means ‘hot fountains’ or ‘baths.’

Free walking tour - I was fortunate enough to go a free walking tour with Ricardo, I was amazed at how passionate and informed Ricardo was about this historic city. Ricardo's enthusiasm is infectious it was impossible to not be excited with him.Every restaurant pub he suggested are now on my list of all time favorites. Over the years I have and 50 plus tour guilds in 15 different countries and none of them compare. We enjoyed Rico so much we booked two more tours with him wine tasting and Fado, they were amazing.

Come to Lisbon and book a tour with Kate - My tour guide was Kate and she was awesome, she did a great job on this tour but then really went the extra mile further to make sure I got the most out of my trip, I wound up going on multiple tours with her because she was so friendly and accommodating and she gave me plenty of tips and advice on what to do beyond our time together
