Top Lisbon Unique Experiences - page 3

Great wineries and great food. Our tour guide Ricardo was brilliant and very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable and great to talk to. The first winery was old and traditional with huge output. The second was new and establishing itself, yet the wine was great. We chose the lunch option which turned out to be a treat…and we also met up with another small group at lunch which made it all the more better. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed this personalized tour and definitely recommend it to others. Tiago, our guide, brought his warmth, extensive knowledge, even-keeled demeanor, and fluent English to our day-long exploration of the city through the lens of tiles. The tile making workshop was fun for us as a couple and we’d see it working very well for families with children; our college aged daughters would have enjoyed it also if they were with us I asked a slew of questions about things, cultural, economic, and political, and appreciated Tiago’s ability to share his perspective and glimpses of his life as appropriate. For us, this tour was a fine introduction to the city that kicked off the great days we spent in and around Lisbon; I did see tiles differently all around the city for the rest of our time here and leave with a great appreciation of this art form.

A tour of the street art in Lisbon includes a lot of history, visits to culturally rich neighbourhoods, city views and architecture, art history references as well as current political social issues in the world. The tour guide did an excellent job of explaining how this artwork is not vandalism but rather a very important genre with conventions, important dialogues and depth of ideas.
