"We (a group of five adults) had a wonderful time exploring Lisbon with Jorge. He is extremely engaging, bright, and fun to be around. His tour of the hidden gems of Lisbon was amazing. Jorge has clearly put an incredible amount of thought and effort into design the tour and its route. The tour included some truly hidden gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own (e.g., an exploration of the different styles of traditional street tiling around the city). Our group was particularly interested in Lisbon’s history. Jorge is extremely knowledgeable in this topic. We especially enjoyed that Jorge focused on the connection between the history and culture of Lisbon throughout the centuries. For example, we discussed the modern cultural impacts of ancient occupation of the land around Lisbon by the Romans, the Moors, and the Visigoths; we discussed the effect of the 1775 earthquake and its impact on modern architecture in the city; we also discussed modern history such as the rise and fall of the Salazar’s dictatorship and Lisbon’s cultural contributions to poetry. This is a wide variety of topics that connect history, architecture, culture, and more. Jorge did an excellent job of explaining these connections and naturally tying them into the landmarks we were visiting. This made the tour both engaging and wonderfully immersive. We were particularly impressed by how well planned and carefully conceived the tour was. Jorge weaved each visited location into a larger story about Lisbon. The order of the stops made sense and contributed greatly to the story. It’s clear that he has put a lot of thought into this. Finally, more important than the tour being informative, Jorge was fun to be around. He’s a funny guy and we greatly enjoyed the time we spent with him. We highly recommend getting a tour with him.

"Jorge gave us a wonderful introduction to his beautiful city of Lisbon! We could not have asked for better company on our first evening there. After meeting us and seeing the capabilities of my husband with his electric mobility scooter, off we went to see the city. He tailored our walking tour of Lisbon exactly to our interests and capabilities. Jorge knew all the most accessible ways of getting around, so we were able to see so much more than I had anticipated. And we had a blast doing so! Entertaining, full of information, and knowing where to find the most delicious treats of Lisbon - Jorge was the perfect guide! Thank you Jorge!"

"This was my first trip to Portugal and my husband, friends, and I were lucky to begin it in Lisbon with Ângelo! We were delayed at the airport and he was so accommodating of our need to move the time forward. Ângelo was extremely friendly, engaging, informative, and easy to talk with. His love, passion, and knowledge of Lisbon and its history gave us a deeper understanding and appreciation of the city, its beauty and cultural roots. He’s filled with information about Lisbon and the surrounding areas and is excited to share it with others. I highly recommend Ângelo to anyone visiting this city. I’ve fallen in love with Portugal and any return trip to Lisbon will have me in touch with Ângelo again! "

"We hired Rodrigo for a day tour of Sintra, etc and he did a fantastic job! He lives in the area and was able to provide the background and history of everything. We saw so many amazing things, views and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend him!"

"Joao gave us an interesting tour. He improvised to fit our group."

"Rita was a perfect guide. She took us to several really great places in different neighborhoods to sample foods. She gave us the history of the foods, the restaurants and the neighborhoods. She was informative, friendly and funny. I highly recommend this tour and Rita as a guide!!"

"Ines was an extremely informative and engaging tour guide who told us alot about the history of the Jewish community of Portugal. As a bonus we got to enjoy her beautiful singing.I would highly recommend this tour "

"Rui is very responsive and punctual . He ensured that we have a proper plan in place for the day trip to Sintra , few days before the scheduled date - no last minute surprises. On the day of the tour he picked us up on time form our hotel and drove us around . He told us all the stories behind each of the sights we stopped to see , gave us enough time to take each place in - there were lots of stops in the tour but Rui took good care so we did not feel rushed . I would definitely recommend Rui and would love to book another tour with him if and when I come back to Lisbon 😊"

"We just arrived in Lisbon and went on a fantastic food tour. It was a combination of sightseeing and tasting authentic delicious Portuguese food. What an amazing start to our vacation. I would strongly recommend this tour "

"Immerse yourself in the culture and history of Lisbon. Explore parts of the city you may otherwise miss. Isabel is a wealth of knowledge, and a treasure of a person. "
