"Jorge’s storytelling about Lisbon’s layered history was engaging and informative. We learned a lot about the complexity of the politics and culture of Lisboa and gave us a great sense of grounding. Jorge was kind, had a good sense of humor and was generous with his time. He showed us secret shortcuts to avoid some hill walking too! We had a great day and would recommend him for anyone looking to learn about the history, architecture, culture, language, Portuguese made products and more! "
"We hugely enjoyed all aspects of the tour - great great local and historic knowledge plus a lovely sense of humour. It was both fascinating and great fun. First class and Brilliant 👏👏👏"
"We booked a tour with Angelo but it was at extremely short notice and with food restrictions which Angelo could not accommodate.
At Angelo's request, in stepped Lucia! We were extremely fortunate for Luci to be able to accommodate us.
She met us promptly and was very fluent in English. She took us to restaurants that we may never have tried on our own- we tried grilled Sardines and cod fish cutlets- the top staples and then took us walking through Alfama, Chiada and Bario alto (hope I spelled them right) pointing out historical sites and their histories. We tried some juices as we do not do alcohol. We tasted the famous pastels de Belem and then tried some other savory crepes.
The tour lasted around 3.5 hours and we were very pleased with Lucia.
This tour was enjoyable for its exposure to the local culture, food and punctuated with Lucia's commentary on the current state of Portuguese society and its promises for the future.
Would recommend without reservation!
Tips:
1. Book early and have more options especially with dietary restrictions.
2. People who drink alcohol and are comfortable with pork/ham products may find this tour more value for money than those who don't.
3. Lucia is awesome!:))"
"Had a great day touring Lisbon with Lucia! She showed us many local treats and specialties. Lucia has a very warm and down to earth personality, and she quickly felt like a friend. She’s very knowledgeable about history and culture, and the best places to visit in Lisbon. The green wine, cod fritters, chorizo, and pastel de nata were definite highlights. And don’t forget the Ginja! The next day we went to one of the local restaurants she recommended and it was terrific. An absolutely wonderful afternoon - can’t recommend Lucia enough!!"
"Sofia was so friendly and knowledgeable and a lot of fun. She knew exactly how much to tell us to keep us informed and still held the interest of the kids. The places she took us to for the tastings were excellent choices and we had the best time with her. We definitely recommend her to anybody and if and when we come back to Portugal, we’ll have her take us on another one of her tours. Sofia is awesome! "
"An excellent tour.
David was very knowledgeable & took me to restaurants I would never have found by myself.
The food & wine was wonderful
I very much appreciated David”s tips for getting up the slopes - won’t share here as it’s local knowledge
I would highly recommend. "

"Alphe is amazing! He is a gracious host and made us feel so welcome. He encouraged us to ask questions and gave us so much context, history, and insight with regards to the culture and people of Portugal as we walked and discussed important architecture. Alphe built a tour specific to our interests and incorporated tastings throughout the city. He took us to restaurants we'd never have known about and also shared with us which areas in which we shouldn't waste our money - we are so appreciative. He has lived so many different places, both in and outside of Lisbon, and we left him feeling like we gained a new friend. He never made us feel rushed. After our tour, as promised, he sent us loads of recommendations for the remainder of our stay. If you are looking for a tour guide who is engaging, down to earth, and extremely knowledgable - you should book your tour with Alphe. "
"Jorge is an excellent guide to start your Lisbon adventure. We were very pleased with his approach, the pace, all his suggestions and the hidden gems he showed us throughout our city walk. We definitely recommend him for any tour in Lisbon and I would not hesitate to do any other tour with him."
"Our time with Sónia was the best. We were a little late, and she was very understanding. She took us to eat where the locals eat and at our pace. And she made it interesting with her history knowledge and fun facts. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend we’ve known for years. We’ll definitely refer Sónia to our friends who visit Lisbon!"
