Amazing experience - Met in the square which was easy to locate. Our Guide Tomàs was really passionate and very informative about the history. It was refreshing to hear about all the historical influences. We had such a laugh too...and got great advice regarding the best bits of Lisbon.

Good cheap and fun! - The points visited on our tour are essential to understand the history of the Lisbon Formation. In addition, the Guide, Artur, is very friendly and deeply familiar with the history of the city bringing important facts and curiosities that help us understand the context of the various events. Highlighting that by being "free" there is nothing left to desire.

Do This Tour First - Toby was an excellent guide not only providing concise information about the history of Lisbon, but very practical information about how to get around the city and how to avoid some of the steep uphill climbs (who knew about the public elevators or escalators!). Recommend doing this tour early in your Lisbon stay because you will rely on the information you receive throughout your stay. If you are luck, you will have Toby as your guide.

A mandatory tour to see Lisbon - Simply sensational. The Guide Toby is a deep acquaintance with the history of the city sharing many facts and historical curiosities. He was very helpful in helping us during the tour and focusing on more accessible routes since we were with a baby neck and cart. Very cool and interesting tour. Prepare to walk a lot.

Excellent walking tour - Great walking tour, with a focus on the history and culture of Lisbon. Bruno was excellent, he saved time for a Ginjinha stop, showed us tricks for the hills and the best views, and of course answered all of our questions. A great way to start your trip and orient yourself to the sites! Thank you!
