Great unique tour of Lisbon

Russell_C, Jun 2023

We wanted to see the areas a bit away from the center of Lisbon and this tour was great for that. Saw some parks, a market and neighborhoods. Lots of great walking. Isabel was great and spoke great English and took us to unique spots.

The name says it all!

The perfect tour for anyone who wants to see something other than the "touristy" side of Lisbon. Our guide Mafalda was wonderful! We highly recommend this tour.
