"Igor is a great tour leader. He is a part of the street art community (an artist in his own right) and knows many of the artists and the 'rules' of the genre. Igor explains these rules by reference to examples he points out on his walking tour. To say it was an education for us is an understatement! We can now view street art with a whole new appreciation. We learnt so much from Igor that we now look out for street art in all our travels. Definitely a tour to go on!"
"Clarisse was excellent:) we had a fabulous time with her showing us around the city learning so much history about the city and the people. We loved the tastings the little bar was so wonderful and we even had a FADO singer perform for us ! She was lovely and I would highly recommend

"Igor was great! He was very knowledgeable, engaging, and you could tell he is very passionate about art/street art. I would recommend even if you don’t know much about art. "
"Wir hatten eine tolle Tour, bei der David uns nicht nur die Spezialitäten von Lissabon (Essen und Getränke) vorgestellt hat, er hat uns dabei auch sehr viel über die Geschichte und Geografie von Lissabon und Portugal erzählt und hatte jede Menge Tipps für unseren weiteren Aufenthalt. Es war ein sehr kurzweiliger Abend mit David. Eine Tour mit ihm ist absolut empfehlenswert."

Great night, great food, great places
"We met with Rodrigo for a bites/drinks tour at night, and he was great! Took us to some spots I would have never even known were there, including one of the oldest restaurants in Lisboa. We had some amazing food, I was expecting to be hungry at the end of it but I was super full! Highlights were the chorizo that was open-flame cooked right at our table, and the end of the night Pastel Da Nada.
He was super open to our dietary choices, and was very friendly and knowledgeable about all things in Portugal (and many other countries!) Would definitely do another tour with him again; super funny and pleasant to be around!"

Great Intro to Lisbon’s culinary scene.
"David was so friendly and approachable. We so enjoyed strolling the city streets and learning about Lisbon’s history and sampling Lisbons best bites. David really made an effort to individualize our tour by taking his time to answer all our questions. He also went out of his way to provide us with helpful tips and recommendations. Would highly recommend this tour and David! "

Amazing strert art tour!
"Igor gave an incredible street art tour in Lisbon. We had just arrived and he helped introduce so many parts of Lisbon we wouldn’t have known about. He showed us incredible pieces of art, explanations about them and great stories to go with them. Igor was so informative about Lisbon and street in general. We have been on graffiti tours in many cities, this one was at the top for sure! "

Wonderful night!
"David was great! He had fun history and stories about the places we went to. He didn’t rush us and we felt comfortable the entire time. The spots we ended up were great- spots we probably would have been unlikely to visit otherwise. We would absolutely recommend David’s tour to anyone! "
"Igor was AMAZING. He is an artist. I learned so much about street art and graffiti. We saw many amazing art pieces in our stroll around Lisbon. The tour was beautiful and informative. I would strongly recommend this tour with Igor as your guide!"
