Knowledgeable & attentive local guide

Kai_T, May 2025

Luis was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He prepared materials and information to give us a better idea of Lisbon and Alfama. He also tries to pepper his tours with fun facts to make it more interactive. This is reflective of his profession of being an educator of Philosophy. If you are looking for a real walking tour where the guide understands Lisbon inside out and is able to readily chat through historical events (and not scripted), Luis is your guy. We highly recommend a private tour with him if you want to understand Alfama for what it is.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

You were my first clients from Singapore and it was a great pleasure to meet you and spend the afternoon with you in Alfama. It is amazing the knowledge you already had of the city and its history, the interest with which you heard stories from such a distant place/culture. Thank you very much for your kind words and I hope to meet you again in Lisbon. Best wishes, Luis
