    Wonderful way to spend my 50th birthday

    "Igor provided an impassioned and knowledgeable tour. We lucked out with the weather, but it would have been interesting in any case. It was a truly special way to spend my 50th birthday together with friends and family from four different countries. Muito obrigada, Igor!"

    Experience the local side of Lisbon

    "My wife and I have the pleasure of Ricardo being our host while in Lisbon. Ricardo is pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable just about everything you ask about the city, culture and happenings in people, events, changes in vibes, trends, experiences, expectations. We were able to visit the first Ginjinha store, tried the Bifana, a local sandwich favorite, tried Bacalhau cod fish cake, ride the escalator through the hilly streets, roam the alleys where local live, play, relax, shops. We managed to try local bites and drinks sometimes unseen by tourists. Ricardo was able to answer every questions we throw at him which showed that he is good at what he does. Look him up if you’re in Lisbon and want to see the local side. "

    Outstanding!

    "Igor was an fantastic tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable, having spoken to a number of the street artists about their work, and was a wealth of resources and information. He is an excellent example of the laid back, friendly charm of the Portuguese people and the street art showcased on our tour was phenomenal. A wonderful tour! "

    Great experience!

    "The food tour was amazing, I already lived for four months in Lisbon but André showed me new places which I otherwise would have never found. He has a good knowledge about the history of the city and was able to answer all our questions. The food was really good and was more than a full meal! "

    Best street art experience in Lisbon!

    "We loved exploring street art with Igor. He was extremely knowledgeable about the art and pointed out so many details we never would have noticed. He shared extra information giving us Instagram connections to other artists plus his ebook. He was an enthusiastic tour guide and we loved seeing hidden art that we wouldn't have found on our own. It was fun to see some street artists in action painting a wall and they were folks that Igor knew! We highly recommend Igor as a street art guide. "

    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!"

    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! "

    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! "
