Your personal guide will greet you at the designated meeting point and lead you on a captivating journey through centuries of history. Begin by exploring iconic landmarks such as the São Jorge Castle, perched high above the city, and Lisbon’s Cathedral, one of the city's oldest and most revered structures.

I’ve done many walking tours while travelling, but Kate’s are easily among the most memorable. I first joined her Lisbon tour in 2024 and later did her Sintra tour in 2025. Both times, I walked away feeling like I’d actually understood the places, not just seen them. Kate studies anthropology, and you can tell — she talks about history and culture in a way that connects everything together. In Lisbon, she spoke about the city’s mix of influences and how its character was shaped over time. In Sintra, she explained how Romanticism and Moorish design came together to create its dreamy atmosphere. Her tours are calm, thoughtful, and full of small details you wouldn’t notice on your own. If you want to experience Portugal with more meaning and context, I really recommend joining one of her walks.
Brilliant thank you. Kate was excellent. She's knowledgeable and interesting and amusing. We learnt lots of things that we didn't know. Very cheap but remember to tip the person doing the tour.
We were very impressed by Kleiber's knowledge and delivery in this excellent walking tour of Lisbon. A great introduction to the history of the city. Kleiber's recommendations are greatly appreciated. Kleiber went over the 2 hours limit in order to answer everyone's question. I would recommend this tour and please stay till the end and show your appreciation! Yesterday we went on the AlFama tour with the lovely Belen. I am happy to have done it, despite not feeling good. It was not as difficult as i thought.Belen was amazing! Very engaging and Knowledgeable. She took us to places we would not have found by ourselves. Her recommendations were also appreciated. Thank you Belen
Walter was very knowledgeable and great with size of our group which included kids. I highly recommend Walter for tours. Mario recommended this great family own business “Super Mario Restaurant” which had the best sardines ever.
My family and I did an ‘Intro to Lisbon’ walking tour with Jose and it was fantastic. Jose gave us great stories at each stop that helped us learn a lot about the history of Lisbon. He also gave us great tips for getting around the city and finding the best spots. We did the tour in the morning and although it was really hot Jose made sure to keep us in the shade as much as possible. I highly recommend this walking tour!
