"Isabel is a wonderful tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and kind. We saw many interesting sites, learned a lot of history, and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Isabel as a guide!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our five hours spent with Peter. We were somewhat skeptical of walking for five hours but the time went by so quickly. Peter wove the history of Portugal, the history of Lisbon and the city together in such a fascinating way including landmarks , street art , poetry and political unrest that it came alive. He meticulously planned out the route , starting above the castlelo de Saint Jorge and ending at sea level at the Praco de Comércio . All the while exploring churches, neighborhoods and artisan shops . Peter is extremely knowledgeable, and well versed in Lisbon history and culture, his tour was a highlight in our six days in Lisbon "

"We loved learning about and experiencing Lisboa with Henrique! He was a wonderful and interesting guide. History (nuanced), culture, and some food tastes, along with beautiful viewpoints! "

"Fabulous tour covering Lisbon’s history, sights, sounds & tastes. Perfect way to get a quick introduction."

"Ângelo was the perfect guide for our first trip to Lisboa. We were hoping to find a local host who could give us a city overview with a focus on history, food, arts & culture, and of course, tips on hidden local gems. Ângelo delivered on all counts and more! In addition to being knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic, he went the extra mile to learn more about us and our interests and truly gave us a personal stamp on his spectacular city. Along the way, we sampled a local snack and shared a toast, all the while visiting various neighborhoods and chatting about Lisboa’s history, present, and future. It was a wonderful day with Ângelo — we only wish we had booked with him earlier in our trip so we could take advantage of all of the wonderful recommendations he gave us and also to do a food tour with him. Don’t hesitate to book with Ângelo, you won’t be disappointed!"

"Henrique was a great guide. Very serious about his love for Lisbon and very knowledgeable about its history. Absolutely charming and a really lovely guy. You should book him!"

"I learned a ton about the history of Portugal and Lisbon. I was also treated to an impromptu Fado song in a church that Ines brought me to. Ines is a professional singer and it was a honour to hear her sing. Thanks for the great morning!"

"We are so grateful for the well-organized and comprehensive introduction we received with Peter! The pace was perfect for our first day in Portugal and within a few hours we had an appreciation for both the city and the history of Portugal. We could not have been happier with the experience."

"We (a group of five adults) had a wonderful time exploring Lisbon with Jorge. He is extremely engaging, bright, and fun to be around. His tour of the hidden gems of Lisbon was amazing. Jorge has clearly put an incredible amount of thought and effort into design the tour and its route. The tour included some truly hidden gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own (e.g., an exploration of the different styles of traditional street tiling around the city). Our group was particularly interested in Lisbon’s history. Jorge is extremely knowledgeable in this topic. We especially enjoyed that Jorge focused on the connection between the history and culture of Lisbon throughout the centuries. For example, we discussed the modern cultural impacts of ancient occupation of the land around Lisbon by the Romans, the Moors, and the Visigoths; we discussed the effect of the 1775 earthquake and its impact on modern architecture in the city; we also discussed modern history such as the rise and fall of the Salazar’s dictatorship and Lisbon’s cultural contributions to poetry. This is a wide variety of topics that connect history, architecture, culture, and more. Jorge did an excellent job of explaining these connections and naturally tying them into the landmarks we were visiting. This made the tour both engaging and wonderfully immersive. We were particularly impressed by how well planned and carefully conceived the tour was. Jorge weaved each visited location into a larger story about Lisbon. The order of the stops made sense and contributed greatly to the story. It’s clear that he has put a lot of thought into this. Finally, more important than the tour being informative, Jorge was fun to be around. He’s a funny guy and we greatly enjoyed the time we spent with him. We highly recommend getting a tour with him.

"Jorge gave us a wonderful introduction to his beautiful city of Lisbon! We could not have asked for better company on our first evening there. After meeting us and seeing the capabilities of my husband with his electric mobility scooter, off we went to see the city. He tailored our walking tour of Lisbon exactly to our interests and capabilities. Jorge knew all the most accessible ways of getting around, so we were able to see so much more than I had anticipated. And we had a blast doing so! Entertaining, full of information, and knowing where to find the most delicious treats of Lisbon - Jorge was the perfect guide! Thank you Jorge!"
