Highly recommend to take private tour especially winter time - We did not have many days to explore Lisbon , so booked private 4 hours tour. Unfortunately it was bad weather ( rainy and windy) on that day, that’s why we could more appreciated taking Diogo’s tour. We got message from the guide a day before and he arrived 15 minutes before our meeting time. Our guide Diogo was very nice and so much knowledge we could learn from him a lot . Thank you, Diogo!

The guide makes the experience! - The guide always makes the experience! Vasco was a superb guide, taking us up and down the hills of Lisbon, giving us history, views, and recommendations for wine. Having been a teacher, Vasco was excellent in the clarity of his explanations, and knowing much about wine, we got some good recommendations for our trip to the Algarve. I recommend this service and Vasco! It is well worth every Euro!

Many highlights and little known facts! Vasco gave us an excellent tour of the city. - Our guide, Vasco was extremely knowledgeable from his lifetime of living in Lisbon. He took us wonderful places that we would have not made it to on our own. His experience as a former teacher allowed him to give us a history of the city in a “not just the facts kind of way.” 5+ stars.

Vibrant tour and guide! - Our guide Vasco was excellent. He took us to out of the way places as well as the highlights of Lisbon. His knowledge was vast and stems from his lifetime of living in the city. He is a former teacher so he gave us much information in a “not just the facts” way. This tour was vibrant and fun.

Outstanding Tour to Cover a Lot of Sights - We did the Private Minivan Tour Alfama, Baixa, Belam with Daniel. The company provided his Whatsapp phone number, and he met us outside out hotel. It was a clean, comfortable mini-van. We have never taken a private tour before, but the price was good, and we covered so many stops with just the right level of detail and background. I really loved that Daniel went at our pace and adjusted to our interests and need for a bathroom break. The tour was a mixture of driving to the location and getting out and walking around and pointing out things we would have never known about or noticed ourselves, such as old city walls and the 16th century St Roque church which Daniel compared to the Sistine Chapel and felt good and peaceful inside. The highlight was sampling a Pastel de Belem (custard tart) in Belem and not standing in line to get our tart and a behind the scene view of the kitchens and how they make them. We booked the through Tripadvisor, but you could also book direct - it looked like Lisbon Highlights was the comparable version, for less. This tour was one of the best things we did in Lisbon allowing us to cover a lot of ground, see a lot of top sights without having to walk our feet off or get jostled around in a golf cart tour, and we loved Daniel's commentary. He is a good person too. Next time, we are in Portugal, we would definitely book other tours with this company.

Excellent private tour with car seat available - Our guide was Diogo who was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon and its history. The tour is perfect in that you get to see the highlights of different areas which helped us choose where to return to. It was also intermittently raining so perfect to plan around the rain. We also had an infant and they were able to provide a car seat.

Must book to truly appreciate Lisbon - Learn and see a lot - Outstanding 4-hour private tour with Daniel. We rode in a comfortable private mini-van (a huge improvement over Tuk-Tuk bouncing), and Daniel proved to be a knowledgeable, engaging, and flexible guide. He answered all our questions and customized the itinerary to our interests — including taking us to a truly beautiful church. We visited multiple neighborhoods and landmarks: Our Lady of the Hill in Graça, the National Pantheon, Alfama, Baixa, Chiado, and BelĂ©m. Daniel struck the right balance between walking stops and scenic drive-bys, with options to linger as long as we wanted. The highlight was an unexpected behind-the-scenes visit inside the kitchen at PastĂ©is de BelĂ©m — watching how the pastries are made, seeing the team at work, and then skipping the line to enjoy our own fresh pastel de nata. That alone felt like insider-access magic. Daniel shared wonderful historical and cultural insights along the way, giving us a much deeper appreciation of Lisbon and its centuries-layered story. The night-before instructions said the guide would meet us by reception, but Daniel messaged via WhatsApp that he would be outside the hotel — which made perfect sense logistically. Top-notch guide, first-class experience — and now we’re spoiled and want private tours like this every trip.
