Great introduction to a very busy city! - Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable about historical Lisbon both structurally and culturally. He gave us many good tips for getting around the area without getting lost. We also want to thank him for waiting on us to start the tour as we were caught in traffic. Highly recommend this experience at the start of a visit to Lisbon.

Excellent tour. Do not hesitate to book! - Sonia is a very knowledgeable tour guide who provided lots of helpful tips and insights to help with our visit to Lisbon. Particularly liked her tips on where to eat and loved her general enthusiasm for the city. Did 1.5 hour tour but could easily have done the 3hr one. Lovely experience and well worth it.

Lisbon Day 1 - Private Kickstart tour. - Very Disappointing. We booked a private guide for a 90 minute tour of the key sites and history of Lisbon through Tripadvisor, rather than the free tours. Our guide Amanda, changed the meeting location of the walk an hour or so before the start to Miradoura Sao Pedro de Alcantara. Ok we thought a different route and more to see. We climb to the start, the guide is 10 mins late, but did let us know and was very apologetic. We set off on a winding walk through the streets of Biarra Alto, Chiado and Biaxa, ending up at the waterfront. whilst the guide was chatty, there was no real structure to the stops, little information on the history etc. Some nice info about current shops and restaurants, but we had to ask to get info. She then finished 15mins early and didn’t go toward the castle where we expected to finish. We learnt more going into the Lisbon Story exhibit at the square for 7€ afterwards than on her tour. For €44 each we would have an expected a more informative guide.
