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.

Thorough - The guide was extremely informative and knowledgeable about Lisbon's history and the role the city and the country of Portugal played in the enslavement of African peoples.

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

Take this tour! - I do not think I know what I really was booking here. I thought it was a small group tour but no. THIS WAS THE BEST TOUR I EVER WENT ON! Filipa was a gem! She was so knowledgeable about everything. The walk was perfect (make sure you wear comfy shoes). I felt like I was being led around a new city with an old friend. Book this tour TODAY! I will be back and will be bringing more people to this awesome company! Truly a customer for life!
