Great tour

Erica_L, Aug 2026

Great experience. Raquel was very knowledgeable about the area and local culture . She made sure we not only saw the local sites and but slay got the back history of the area. Great job! I highly recommend her and the tour.

Fantastic walking tour around castle and Lisbon

Brendan_M, Aug 2026

Fantastic walking tour around the castle and areas of Lisbon finishing at the oldest bookshop. Our guide, Dee, made the tour interesting and informative in a way that was very enjoyable, pointing out lots of things that we would never have been able to find on our own. And so many great stories about the history of the wonderful city of Lisbon. Thank you Dee for a most enjoyable morning and it was great to visit the booksho! Would highly recommend this tour.

This was one of the best experiences I have had thus far. Édi was a phenomenal guide with great recommendations, excellent with answering questions and explaining the significance of each place we stopped and how it is relevant to today.

Wonderful experience!

My wife and I wanted to learn more about the history of Lisbon and chose to do this walking tour. It was exactly what we were looking for! Our guide, João, had a wealth of knowledge to share with us, and he was extremely personable and friendly! We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon!

Maggie_H, Apr 2026

Stefano was a wonderful guide. A true historian! Walking pace was not too fast, just a lot of steps and hills to navigate. Beautiful view from the top of the castle!

The guide knew the answer...

Destiny_M, Mar 2026

The guide knew the answer to all questions and was super friendly! The views from the castle are amazing. Learn from my mistake and wear running shoes though. Had a great time!
