Experience Art & Culture Tours in Lisbon with Withlocals

"We enjoyed a wonderful and informative morning with Francisco- he was great! Friendly, informative and knowledgeable about all things Portugal! An excellent host!!!"

"Francisco was a very kind guide with a wealth of historical information we of the Jewish people and the church. The synagogues were destroyed after the inquisition in 1496. Two memorials were displayed to honor the 4,000 Jews burned…there were no Jewish cemeteries. All evidence, other than apartments where they lived remains. The Jews came to Lisbon in 4th and 5th centuries The Jews were assistants to the kings over the years. The Kings relied on the Jewish people in many areas, such as money lending and tax collections. Francisco gave us insight of the Jewish history from his own interest in history. I was happy to find a guide to give us Jewish history in Lisbon "

"João was an exceptionally good guide. He spoke clearly and was easy to understand. He was pleasant and easy to speak with. If he wasn’t sure of an answer to my question he said so and told me he would research it later. João was a good listener too and told me that no question was a bad question. My tour was very interesting and informative and would highly recommend both João and the subject matter. He wove the history of the Jews into the history of Portugal. After the tour he emailed me an extensive list of places to visit, things to do and recommended restaurants. "
