Fabulous Lisbon tour with João!
"We booked a last minute tour of Lisbon’s highlights and hidden gems and were lucky enough to have João as our guide. Even though he just finished a prior tour, João was enthusiastic, warm, engaging, and clearly loved sharing his love of his city with us. João was very knowledgeable and just a great story teller, bringing Portugal’s history to life. We walked through several neighborhoods learning about their place in Lisbon’s history as well as important literary figures, famous places, and getting a great idea of the layout of this beautiful and vibrant city. Our three hours passed too quickly and ended with a delicious round of ginja. We are grateful for João’s enthusiasm and insights, it was a wonderful tour and we would love to have him again for another tour. Thank you, João!"

André is the BEST! 10/10 Highly Recommend!
"André was a fantastic guide! Super knowledgeable on the history of Portugal and the various sites we visited! I really appreciated how he worked with us prior to the tour to set our itinerary and stopping points. André was ultra communicative with us prior to the tour; he took great care to ensure that the places we wanted to visit were on the agenda. We had such a fun time with André and got great tips for the rest of our visit in Lisbon. If you have a chance to book a tour with André, I highly recommend it! "

Simply the best!
"This was our first time in Portugal, and the day with Lius was one of the best experiences we've had! He communicated with us before the tour and accommodated with a later start and ending due to personal reasons. We never felt rushed. He was highly knowledgeable about the history and the details of everything. He provided history along the way, an added bonus! He also gave us a brief but nice shopping break in Cascais. I cannot imagine this tour without a guide like Lius. He provided us with excellent touring tips for the following day. He is also super fun! I will give his cards to friends who plan to visit Portugal. Thank you, Lius, for making our trip so memorable!"

"What a wonderful young man Joao is. Even though he had a serious family emergency, he took the time to come and greet me and make sure that I was OK. his dedication to his job is beyond compare and I am so very blessed to have met him. He found me a replacement in Mario and Bia and what a wonderful experience that was. They treated me like a friend and showed me places in the city that I would never have found by myself. It was the experience of a lifetime. By the end of the day, I felt like a local Thank you, thank you thank you for the time of my life Moe"

Lisa is a great guide!
"We had a wonderful three-hour tour with our guide, Lisa, who was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. Lisbon can be a tricky city to navigate, so it was a huge help that she met us right at our hotel. She gave us great local tips—where to eat, how to save money, and what’s actually worth spending on. She tailored the tour to both of us, even though we had different interests, and struck a great balance between history, hidden gems, and some fun street art. Her personality was warm and engaging, and she’s a fantastic listener. As fellow Americans, we felt instantly at ease with her, but it was clear she really understands and loves Lisbon. She made the city feel more accessible, fun, and easy to enjoy—whether on a budget or just going with the flow."

Perfect!
"Henrique is a wonderful tour guide. His tour was perfect. We saw a great range of places, even avoiding the crowds in the more popular areas. We also saw some hidden gems, things you might walk by without noticing. Henrique tied the sites together with their individual history and how they fit into the greater history of Portugal. We learned so much! Henrique is also kind and attentive, answering any questions you might have. My whole family loved the tour! Recommend Henrique 100%!"

"Angelo is an extremely professional and knowledgeable tour guide. He cares about his job and wants to show you all the history and best of Portugal. At the end of our walking tour we asked for a Tuk Tuk recommendation and he referred us to Ivan who was also excellent. Our trip to Lisbon would not have been as special had we not met Angelo."

Engaging, Insightful, Perfect for Families
"Marisa was an absolutely fantastic guide! We were a group of four adults and three kids (ages 10–12), and I had asked her to tailor the tour so the kids could really engage with the history and culture of Portugal. She did exactly that — the kids loved her! Marisa was incredibly friendly, patient, and answered what must have been a million questions with enthusiasm. Beyond the tour, she generously reviewed my Lisbon itinerary and gave thoughtful suggestions on what to skip and what to prioritize — and her recommendations were spot on. She brings such warm, positive energy and deep knowledge, and we truly learned so much in a short amount of time. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Lisbon!"

Great time learning and eating with Sonia
"Sonia hosted our walk through Lisbon and she provided a wonderful view into the local lore and stories about the city. It was paired with some of the best spots for eating what makes Lisbon so memorable. We highly recommend Sonia for this and any other tours she hosts about the city!"
