Seeing Local Lisbon Through the Eyes of a Local - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Daniel. He took us through areas in Lisbon where only locals would go. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and readily shared his personal experiences of growing up in Lisbon. We even saw the building where he grew up. His dad still lives there! We loved the farmers market we visited. Highly recommend this tour!
