Highlights
  • Castelo, Alfama & Mouraria - We will be setting into an immersive cultural tour of the infamous Mouraria district. You will be exploring its multicultural side, its hidden budlings, and various secrets, and we will enjoy some spectacular street art while climbing up through history and communities. We will end up having a wonderful dinner in an African family restaurant, and may even explore jazz or samba elements through the neighborhoods’ live local jam sessions.
  • Sao Cristovao - We will be having a wonderful African dish as one of the oldest restaurants in town. Dona Maria has been running her business for over 45 years. Normally her brother plays live music entertaining guests with African tunes.
  • Chapito - Depending on the night of the week we may be visiting one of the most emblematic alternative bar in Lisbon dating since the early 1990s. The location offers live music ranging from samba to world beats. Chapito is more than a cultural fun venue but also a pupeteer school working closely with the homeless to support their skill enhancement and society integration.

Feel like a local for a night - As a solo traveler finding fun tours to go on can be difficult, but Teddy made me feel so safe! This was such a fun tour, and I truly wouldn’t have been able to find any of this without this tour. Teddy is so knowledgeable about the area, the history, and the culture. He is also a part of the community, which in turn made me feel like I was part of the community for a night. My only regret is not doing this earlier.

One-of-a-kind Birthday Evening - I took a solo tour with Teddy on the evening of my birthday. I had a wonderful time! He was very engaging and shared with me what to expect of the night. We saw some fabulous places, and I felt like he personalized the trip based on my interests. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend this tour!

Lisbon like Teddy's home - I had been to various places in Portugal in the past years, but I visited Lisbon for the first time last week (Thursday 11 /Sunday 14 July). While I was immediately won over by the atmosphere of the city, it is a highly touristic season and I wasn't sure to get a glimpse of its true character. Joining Teddy's tour gave me this opportunity. It was like meeting an old friend, truly passionate about Lisbon and willing to share his passion and to open the doors of a few hidden places just at the heart of town. Our group was also composed of a German teacher and a French Forro dancer. The 4 of us had a fantastic time in Mouraria, met a lot of interesting people throughout our exploration which allowed us to also connect with the cultures of Cabo Verde, Mozambique, Brazil, Colombia and even Bangladesh. We also had great conversations and moments listening to Fado or dancing on Samba rhythms (especially my companions). We got along so well that we decided to meet again on the next day :) I highly recommend this tour if you are a fan of surprises!

Personalized tour off the beaten track - Teddy led this tour with all his heart. He showed as many different multicultural places. Before we went on the tour, we chatted online to get to know each other a bit more so that he could show me the kind of experience that I wanted. In this case, African and Brazilian cultural niches in Lisbon. Although this has not been the first time for me in Lisbon, I discovered many new and exciting places with him, thanks a lot, Teddy

A Night to Remember: Exploring Lisbon with Teddy - I recently had an amazing night in Lisbon with Teddy. His tours are a great mix of exploring cool places, meeting new people, and finding hidden gems that show the real side of the city. From the start, you can see Teddy's love for Lisbon. What I liked most was how he made the tour just for us. Whether it was live music, secret restaurants, or fun cultural spots, Teddy took us on a night full of surprises and real experiences. Teddy's friendly personality and knowledge of the city made the tour really special. Our talks were interesting and made the night even better. If you want more than just visiting tourist spots and really want to feel the city, Teddy's tour is a must. Obrigado!

Highly recommended unique tour. - Teddy has a way of ‘getting under the skin’ of Lisbon, showing you places and people that you would not encounter on a regular tour, but that are the beating heart of the city.
