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

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

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.

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!

Barbara G, May 2017
This was great way for us to get a sense of Lisbon with this private walking tour. Our Guide Ricardo was very nice in showing us tons of sites and providing important history which made the experience great. We did this on our first day and would highly recommend this.
ThomasA_D, Jun 2016
The tour was very good. Our guide, Felipa, was very knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend her tour to anyone.
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.

j'étais seul avec une guide parlant français
visite assez intéressante
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!
