Customer Reviews
My friend and I did 2 guided walking tours in Lisbon, covering Alfama and Chiado/Baixa, and it was a fantastic experience. It was such a great way to explore the city on foot while really learning about Lisbon’s history, culture, and everyday life. Our guide, Claudia, was excellent—very knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the city. She shared fascinating historical insights along with local stories that brought each neighbourhood to life. The pace was comfortable, and there was plenty of time to ask questions and take in the surroundings. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon, whether it’s your first time or you want a deeper understanding of the city. A perfect introduction to Lisbon’s charm and character.
Great walking tour! I didn’t expect it to be this good, but it was really enjoyable from start to finish. The guide did an excellent job keeping everyone engaged and made the tour both interesting and fun. Highly recommended!
