Itinerary
Meet your guide in Martim Moniz square, located in the historic district of Mouraria. Fascinating and unique, this district is characterized by its narrow streets with a rich heritage, nourished by the multicultural influence resulting from the discoveries of Portugal's history.
As you walk through the streets of Mouraria, your guide will explain the history of this neighborhood and why it was the traditional residential district of the Moors. Breathe in and feel the local energy of these streets as you explore the small, charming churches and traditional stores. Be introduced to Fado, the Portuguese musical genre that was inscribed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list, and explore the story of Maria Severa: an important figure in the captivating History of Fado.
Discover a bakery hidden away from the crowds and tourists where you can enjoy a traditional pastel de nata with a hot coffee while listening to the history of Lisbon and interacting with locals. See the neo-Manueline façade as you pass the Rossio train station towards Rossio Square. In this historic 19th-century square, see the classic Portuguese cobblestones and learn about their history and origin.
Make your way to Carmo Convent for stunning views of Lisbon, including the São Jorge Castle, and the Santa Justa Lift, while drinking a refreshing Portuguese beer.
Embark on a boat trip on the Tagus River, which will take you to a riverside restaurant where you can eat the famous seafood rice while enjoying the panoramic view of Lisbon. Capture magnificent views of the Tagus River before finishing your meal and returning to the center of Lisbon, where your tour ends.

The walking was leisurely, Maria our guide was excellent, very, very knowledgeable, very friendly and ensured we had a splendid tour, with stops for coffee and cake, a beer and a very nice fish and rice lunch. I can certainly recommend this tour.

We had such a great time on this tour! We were only with 2 other people, plus our guide, Franco, who was fantastic. He was kind and knowledgeable, and it was great way to learn more about the city at the beginning of our trip. The food was great as well! Would highly recommend.

Carlos was on time & friendly. Great way to see parts of Lisbon you wouldn’t normally. Learning about Lisbon’s history was fascinating.
The stops we made for snack, drinks & lunch were delicious.
We stayed after lunch to walk around & took the ferry back in our own.

Our experience was a delightful treat because of Daniel, our guide and friend. He made it 100% worth it. He’s a local with great insights and historical knowledge. If you can ask for Daniel as your guide, you will have an experience like a local and truly get to appreciate Lisboa for its gems. I ♥️ Lisboa!

We learned a lot about Lisbon history from this tour. Our tour guide Maria was very informative and presented all the history very well. We started the tour with coffee and pastries, had beer in the middle while we were listening the peaceful revolution story and also had nice lunch. It was a perfect day.

Lita_L, Feb 2025
This was a fabulous tour! Six of us walked through beautifully tiled Plaza and to a small pastry shop and treated to a pastry and a shot of expresso. Walked around some more and treated to a draft beer in a Plaza. Walked to the Ferry station and boarded the Ferry to an restaurant and drank a full glass of delicious Vino Verde and Portuguese Seafood soup, an entire pot for each two people and it was so delicious, I replicated it at home. Back on the Ferry a day stopped at a grocery store where our tour guide selected his favorite vino Verde wines to purchase, along with sardines, tuna, and anchovies. One of the best tours I've ever taken.

Leslie was a great tour guide! And because our group was small, I felt we were able to move at our own pace and have really thoughtful discussions about life in Portugal, in addition to all of the historical information provided.

This tour was excellent as was our guide Guilheme. It was the perfect duration with enough history and sights of the area. A great intro to Lisbon. The food stops were great. We couldn’t ask for anything better. I would not change a thing. We highly recommend.

Lunch across the river was great as well as overlooking Lisbon on a terrace. Loved the old neighborhood. Daniel was a great guide, patient with other clients that had some issues with stairs and climbing...
Gave great recommendation for dinner and Fado music.
