Historical walking tour

Lori_L, Mar 2025

My guide Filipa was excellent. She provided a lot of history in the few hours we had - but I never felt rushed. Due to my hearing issues - she often had to repeat things and was very kind about it. I could have spent the day or week with her as she was able to share history easily. I definitely recommend this tour

Response from Host, Mar 2025

First of all thanks because I learn a lot with you and your impresive culture and it was a really pleasure to share Lisbon with you! Thanks because my work just makes sense with people like you.

Interesting and enjoyable tour of the city

Filipa was a great tour guide! She had a depth of historical knowledge from her educational background that helped bring alive the city through various historical stories, as well as her own knowledge as a Lisbon native

A wonderful afternoon!

Susan_S, Jan 2024

Filipa was a delight. She was professional, and knowledgeable about Lisbon and its history. She told us about current events which was a great way to balance history with Lisbon today. The tour provided an opportunity to see many neighborhoods and get a good feel for the city on our first afternoon. She provided a dinner recommendation that was wonderful. She was so friendly and accommodating. I would book with her again and highly recommend her to others.

Tailor made tour with well chosen spots

SophieAnna_H, Sep 2021

I really enjoyed my tour with Filipa, as she made it a unique experience. Her way of showing you around was excellent and it was obvious that she know everything and every little corner in Lisboa by heart. Further she was really adapting to my “wants and needs”, which made it a tailor made tour for me. The parts of the city which got shown have been carefully chosen and have shown me a lot of this beautiful city! Thanks!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Dear Sophie, it was a pleasure to share the city with visitors like you, who give sense to my work! Thanks a lot! Kind Regards, Filipa

ELISE F, Jan 2018

Nous sommes ravies de cette excursion et de notre guide Filipa qui fût très gentille et très patiente. Je voyageais avec ma fille de 7 ans, la visite a été faite selon nos attentes et souhaits. Nous reprendrons la même guide la prochaine fois si cela est possible. Beaucoup de gestes d'attention, petit jus d'orange et gâteau offerts lors d'un petit arrêt. Je vous recommande cette excursion à pied de la vieille ville de Lisbonne où vous pourrez découvrir les lieux essentiels et l'histoire grâce au professionnalisme du guide. Encore merci Filipa et à très bientôt.

Bernard P, Oct 2016

Voir et comprendre avec plaisir. Arrivés le matin même, nous avions, avec mon épouse, réservé cette visite en français pour l'après-midi. Bien que nous ne soyons que deux personnes inscrites, notre guide Filipa était bien là - charmante et compétente. Elle nous a fait découvrir, avec des commentaires riches et originaux nourris de ses connaissances et de son attachement à Lisbonne, différents aspects de la ville, nous conduisant aussi dans des lieux situés à l'écart des 'autoroutes à touristes' - sans compter ni sa peine, ni son temps et en y ajoutant quelques précieux conseils pratiques que seule pouvait connaître une 'initiée'. Une 'mise en bouche' parfaite. Grand merci à elle pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité! Visite effectuée le 11 octobre 2016
