Great African History Tour - Filipa was a great guide in this tour exploring the forgotten history of Africans in Portugal and the slave trade. I learned of many great people who have no statues or memorials of their contributions (except for Pai Paulino) to the building up of Portugal. Filipa communicated perfectly and planned a great stop to enjoy pasteles nata (sp). We saw the ancient amphitheater ruins and ended along the water near the square. Great experience.

Gem Of A Tour! - Filipa is an excellent guide with passion for the subject matter. She provided information with honesty and compassion. Everything came to life as Filipa connected all the dots with facts, not just what appears on the surface like most tours. I came away wanting to research to gain more knowledge. You do not want to miss this gem!! I recommend filtering to easily locate it in the tour listing's, you will not be disappointed.

A refreshing off the beaten path experience. - A very interesting perspective from a historian who realized that not just the people of Portugal need to talk about the African History in Lisbon, but also the tourists should hear the history as well.

A pleasant experience - I was travelling alone, so I was lucky enough to get a private tour, moving at our own pace. Filipa is very knowledgeable and empathetic. She is very easy to warm up to and made me feel comfortable right away. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour and I would highly recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Lisbon. Bring a hat and comfortable shoes with good traction; there is a small amount of uphill/downhill walking on slippery cobblestone.

Knowledgeable African HX Tour in Lisbon - Filipa was so knowledgeable about the African history in Lisbon. I could really see her passion to share the knowledge and desire to educate. She took me places that I ordinarily would not have gone on my own and now I have been there plus know it’s history. Very nice person! Glad to have met her! Thank you

A nice stroll - Touring with Felipa was great. She was knowledgeable and informative of the history of Lisbon, Portugal. She was kind and considerate as it relates to our level of comfort. She also treated us to lunch at one of the historical cafes in the commercial area. Would definitely tour with her again.

Disappointing tour - The guide was nice but her english was poor. The group complained that they could not understand what she was saying most of the time and that they had to do their own research. Group was also disappointed that the African experience was not led by someone of african origin. Would not recommend
