Just BOOK with Ângelo
"To say that Ângelo went above and beyond would be an understatement. This was EASILY the best tour we have ever been on in all our travels. Ângelo was kind, attentive, knowledgeable and truly made us feel like we were traveling with a local. He showed us little ways we could avoid taking stairs (we actually very rarely walked uphill, which is surprising), gave us recommendations about great restaurants (and which ones we could skip), and shared the truly rich history of Portugal. He encouraged us to have a conversation, ask any questions, and made us feel like we really had a friend in the beautiful city of Lisbon :) he shared so much about this history of Lisbon — going back thousands of years all the way up to current times— and how the city and country have changed. This did not feel like a history lesson, however! He weaved stories beautifully into whatever we were talking about. Please see this as a sign to BOOK your tour with Ângelo! He is an absolute gem and this was a perfect and amazing tour. I would give him 100 stars if I could. "

Simply fantastic
"Our tour with João was absolutely incredible. He clearly loves the city he lives in, and his knowledge of Lisbon’s history, architecture, art ,literature is so impressive! We were truly given a glimpse of Lisbon we would never discover on our own. Communication was effortless and immensely enjoyable! Couldn’t recommend João highly enough!"

Walking tour with Ricardo
"Had a great tour with Ricardo! He was on time at our meeting point. He walked us around great spots in Lisbon. He was very detailed in telling us about the sites. He gave us recommendations for things to do and places to eat and then followed up in the With Locals chat in writing (I never would have remembered them with this!). A wonderful guide and lovely person. Would recommend booking with him. "

Perfect
"To mention, i was one hour too early - my mistake. He was not far away and agreed to come immediately. What a service! The tour itself was really a pleasure. Good variation between history, culture, we tasted the best pasteis de nata in the city, etc. The pace was up to us to determine. No pressure He also gave us a lot of nice tips on restaurants and on trips towards Belem and Sintra."

A wonderful Lisbon afternoon with Ricardo
"My wife and I spent the afternoon wandering through the streets and history of Lisbon with Ricardo. He was exceptional, crafting the tour to our questions and interests. The time flew by as we walked and talked our way through Alfama, the Moorish quarter and back down to the river. We highly recommend adding a tour with Ricardo to your Lisbon holiday! He was wonderful!"

Phenomenal Day in Lisbon
"We had the most incredible time with David, our tour guide. Not only is David a local but he is also knowledgeable, kind and adventuresome. He made us feel immediately at home in his city and took such pride in sharing the rich history of Lisbon and the nuances of the food and cuisine. He was open to changes based on our questions and gave us an incredible experience. We were overwhelmed by his kindness and his graciousness. Anyone who comes to Lisbon and wants to have a local tour guide should choose David. We are so grateful that we had the experience of food and culture with him on our trip to Lisbon."

Street art, secret passages and views <3
"My sister and I had an amazing time walking the streets of Lisbon with Marisa! We talked about Lisbon history, its people, its culture, while looking at the city from breathtaking viewpoints, exploring shortcuts and secret passages, admiring street art and learning about the artists and their techniques. We also have so many tips from Marisa for our remaining time here: what to see, where to eat, and even where to buy tinned fish to take back home :) Marisa was very responsive when we were designing our tour before the trip. She made great suggestions and was very flexible and accommodating. On the day she delivered a perfect mix fitting our interests. We highly recommend going on a tour with Marisa. Do it at the beginning of your stay so you can use all the tips the rest of your time in Lisbon. Obrigadas Marisa 🫶"

A Wonderful Experience
"My one on one walking tour with Joao was first rate. He started the tour asking me what I was interested in so as to customize the tour to my needs. He listened and absolutely delivered! We walked the various neighborhoods and I learned much about Lisbon and Portugual. Joao was a great guide but he was also great to converse with as we traversed down the winding streets and reveals that are all over the city. I highly recommend Joao to anyone who wants a great guide and a great conversation along the way. The time and the walking flew by. I saw so much and learned so much. I am grateful to Joao for showing me so many different parts of this beautiful city."
