Experience City Tours in Lisbon with Withlocals

"Our family of five adults (2 parents and 3 grown children) had a wonderful Hidden Gems of Lisbon tour with Francisco. First, his English was impeccable. It makes everything so much easier to enjoy when we don’t have to strain to understand the language. That can be an understandable consequence for us tourists who don’t know the native tongue, but with Francisco it was not a concern at all. Second, we had just arrived in town from a long overnight trip from the US, and although we were exhausted, he kept our attention the whole time. We walked briskly to some the best places in town to see and come back to later for a deeper look. Cathedral, castle of St. George (Jorge), “Eiffel” elevator, beautiful views, shopping districts, port/ginjinia tasting, good restaurants. He also gave us helpful tips on our visits to Belem and Sintra, where we headed in the days to follow. That was really valuable for the rest of our stay in Lisbon. Third, he catered the walk around our requests. We were mainly interested in Lisbon and Portuguese history, and Francisco did not disappoint. He knew ancient and modern facts and was especially well versed in the monarchies and rulers. Super! He also spoke my husband’s and son’s favorite language in Europe — soccer (or futebol). They all got quite animated when comparing team favorites. Lastly, Francisco knows many languages, loves his city, knows everything you want to know as a tourist, and has a fabulous, fun, friendly, patient, and kind personality to top it all off. He met us at our hotel (he was timely and we were slightly late and he didn’t say a word) and didn’t rush our tour at all. In fact, he gave us more than the 3 hours and we were very grateful for his generosity. Overall, it was an amazing tour. We highly recommend Francisco and believe his tour was well worth the money, time, and energy. We would definitely go on another tour with him if we return to Lisbon! Thank you, Francisco!"

"Angelo was our guide for a Lisbon City Tour. He was outstanding, energetic, knowledgeable and very friendly. We had an awesome with time him as our introduction to Lisbon. He went above and beyond giving us local inside tips and recommendations from everything from the best places to find where the locals eat and hang out to the best places to shop. His knowledge was invaluable and really added to our experience and enjoyment of Lisbon. We would recommend Angelo with 10 stars!!!"

"We arrived to Lisbon in the morning and had no literary for that afternoon. We looked up the MeetLocal site and were blessed to find Sonia. Based on her ratings and background we booked a private walking tour of the hidden gems. Sonia is an amazing woman with a wealth of knowledge and unique experience. Her tour was well paced and the sites she showed us were well balanced between “tourist” and local feel. We went back to every place she suggested on our own time and were not disappointed. Worth every penny, have already recommended to other friends. "

"Tiago was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. "

"If you want to know what it is to know about Lisbon you have the right place. Engaging and attentive. He took time to answer our 12 year old son’s questions honestly and insightfully. His 4 legged companion is top notch and seals the deal to the feeling like a local experience. Book this man and don’t hesitate. "

"Inês was absolutely amazing guide. She was so knowledgeable about the history of Lisboa as well as local information and suggestion on what we eat and where we should visit while in Lisboa itself. Would definitely recommend friends who are visiting to book for Inês. What surprise us was her singing, she sang for us and made the vibe of Lisboa feel a lot more special. Even the neighbors around the street were walking out of their shops to clap their hands for her. With her tour guide, it made me and sister trip filled with great memories of Lisboa"

"We did a three hour tour with David and were fascinated the whole time. David’s stories helped explain the amazing things we were seeing. I loved bringing on the site of the 1974 Carnation Revolution. . "

"We had an incredible experience in Lisbon thanks to Angelo. He is an amazing tour guide so knowledgeable, thoughtful, and truly wise in the way he shares the history and culture of the city. You can feel how much he loves Lisbon, and he brings its stories to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. Angelo curated a wonderful experience, taking the time to explain not just the history, but the deeper context and spirit of the places we visited. We learned so much and saw the city through a completely different lens. If you are visiting Lisbon and want a guide who is insightful, warm, and passionate, Angelo is truly exceptional. Highly recommended!"

"Inês gave my wife & I a fantastic walking tour of Lisboa. It was a fun and informative introduction to the city. Since we had already walked a bit of Lisboa the day before, Inês altered our tour to skip what we had already seen (thank you!). We met her at a beautiful miradouro and she proceeded to lead us through the zig-zagging streets, informing us of Lisboa's history along the way. She was so friendly and knowledgeable! We would definitely recommend Inês to anyone that wants to get to know Lisboa better."

"Peter was a great guide. He took the time to know a little about us so he could tailor the tour around our interests. He was a wealth of knowledge and we were entertained the whole time. Would recommend Peter for any tour he has to offer."
