Best private, affordable walking tour of Lisbon

Nora_L, May 2025

This was one of the best city tours we have taken, and, it was actually private! Our guide, Beatrice, was exceptional! The tour was 3.5 hours and included many of the major sites in the city: tram 28 (they paid), Alfama, Placa Comercio, Rossio square, shopping districts, other historic sites and 2 beautiful viewpoints. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. She provided unique insights to what we saw. There was both significant up and downhill, so you need to come prepared; however, she walked at our (slow) pace and we never felt rushed. There was a stop about 2/3 of the way through for coffee and a nata, which was included in the price of the tour. We had been scheduled to take a different tour, but had to cancel - it wasn’t private and was more costly, so we are very happy we found this tour. Definitely go with this one!
