What a great afternoon. João is a wonderful conversationalist and a knowledgeable native of Lisbon. He gave us the perfect walking tour through various neighborhoods in Lisbon. All the while, sharing personal anecdotes, bits of history, and trivia about the city and each neighborhood. This was a perfect primer for our stay in Lisbon. His follow up email after the tour gave us more insights, destinations, and things to try during the remainder of our trip. Highly recommended!Perfect Lisbon Primer

Jorge brought me to a seafood place and had the most amazing shrimps I've had in my life. He ended up peeling them for me cause I was too slow 🤣 In the short time I had with him I learned a lot about the history and culture of Lisbon and felt that it provided me a great understanding of the area. If you guys are in Lisbon I definitely recommend booking a tour with Jorge. He was knowledgable not only on the history + culture but also political and social affairs. He also knows where the best food spots (Amazing) + how to avoid tourist traps Getting to know him, learning about Lisbon through the lens of a local and learning about the people and culture was the highlight of my trip. I felt that I left with new perspectives Cannot say enough good words about it. Jorge Is A Living Legend.

He did all of this while we endured some fairly heavy rain. Keeping everything fun and exciting and adapting when weather conditions were poor. He’s a great guide. Lisbon Food Tour

When planning a visit to Lisbon for the first time I picked Henrique with Walking With Locals after reading his excellent reviews. He immediately responded back and we set up a 3 hour walking tour of Lisbon. He arrived on time in drizzling rain, ready to go. He was kind, fun, professional, and very knowledgable about the history of Lisbon and he knew just the right places to take us to having grown up there. I couldn’t believe how quick 3 hours went by! We enjoyed Henrique so much and really felt that we got a wonderful taste of Lisbon. We highly recommend him!3 Hour Walking Tour of Lisbon

Our tour with Amanda was simply amazing! Amanda was flexible about our start time due to weather which we really appreciated. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the city she clearly loves. Amanda had an in-depth knowledge of the history of Lisbon as well as tons of interesting facts about current events and life in Lisbon today. Her routing on our walking tour also seemed to make the hills super manageable. If we had another day in Lisbon I would have loved to do one of her food tours - as Amanda was also passionate about the food of Portugal and Lisbon specifically- wold not hesitate to recommend Amanda as your tour guide!Amazing Amanda

Sonia was great! We had a great time even though it rained for some parts of the tour. She was very attentive and flexible and allowed us to go at our own pace. We booked her for a walking tour for our family of four (me, my wife, our 4 and half year old son, and our 7 month old daughter). We had a stroller for our son and my wife and I took turns carrying our daughter in the baby carrier on our chest. Lisbon is known to be hilly, but the tour was not strenuous. We got to sample the famous custard pastries and the cherry liqueur (served in a tiny chocolate cup). Sonia provided us with interesting factoids and insights about the city. This was our first time visiting Portugal and we wish we had a couple more days to continue exploring and experiencing Lisbon. We would highly recommend Sonia as your tour guide! Thank you!thank you Sonia!

We highly recommend Luis. Luis took us on a 3-hour walking tour of Lisbon the day we arrived, and then he took us on two one-day tours on subsequent days to several neighboring towns. He was flexible, accommodating, and congenial. Luis was very knowledgeable about the country, region, sites (touristy and off the beaten path), and history. He made great suggestions on what to do and was responsive to our inquiries. His car was clean and comfortable, and we felt very safe in his hands. In all, a delightful, stress-free way to get to know Lisbon and Portugal. We highly recommend Luis

Camila had a tough group to work with: a multigenerational group, most of whom had just arrived in Lisbon after an overnight transatlantic flight! But she did an excellent job! In addition to the wonderful food experience, she provided just the right amount of culture, history, and beauty of Lisbon. The communication and meet-up were excellent as well! All 7 of us, ages 14 to 73, thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Delicious introduction to Lisbon food

We highly recommend Sonia who gave us an excellent tour of Lisbon’s historical centre, including a couple of places and short cuts we would never have known about or found if we hadn’t been with Sonia. She is such a lovely person, very friendly and gave us such a lot of information about Lisbon in general during the tour. It’s well worth the money and a much nicer way to take a tour rather than walking around in a large group. We’d definitely take another tour with Sonia if we come back to Lisbon.

He was flexible, adaptive, and made sure we had all the foods we wanted to try, getting us into “off the map” places that helped us learn about and appreciate Portugal. Great tour.

My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a Lisbon Food Tour with Ana Paula and had a great time and great conversation. She was able to customize our visits to exclude a few things we already tried and also give us a taste of better versions of some things we had tried earlier in the week as well. We had some wonderful hams and cheeses, pastries, amazing octopus salad, even more bachalau and, my favorite, the bifana. She also sent us a list of restaurants to try and was helpful throughout our whole trip. Book a tour with Ana Paula and enjoy a taste of Lisbon!A delicious and delightful tour

19 April 2025

We did the Family Friendly Lisbon tour with Rita on our second day in Lisbon and loved it. We have two boy aged 6 and 3 and while it was a lot of walking for our oldest (the youngest was in the stroller), Rita made sure to take lots of breaks and show us fun playground for the kids so they wouldn't get bored. She helped keep them entertained while educating us on the different neighborhoods of Lisbon and where to go and what to avoid. The icing on the cake was the trip to Santinis for the best gelato we ever had and I think we visited that store 4 more times while we were there. If you're going to Lisbon with kids, make sure to book a tour with Rita. PS - She also made herself available on WhatsApp for general recommendations and advice, which was a game changer when we weren't sure what to do or to go to one place vs. another.Amazing family tour - great for young kids

This was the first time visiting Lisbon and Francisco’s tour was an excellent introduction to the city. Francisco was a terrific guide with a real passion for its history and culture, taking us to places of importance and where we wouldn’t have thought to go without his guidance. He was very friendly, amiable and spoke excellent English. The tour was for 3 hours but he actually gave us more of his time. He gave us recommendations for the rest of our week and places to eat - well worth it. Afterwards he also messaged us about the coming storm and palace closures. We would highly recommend Francisco as a guide.A Great Introduction to Lisbon

Ich bin.mit zwei Teenagerbuben nach Lissabon gekommen. Sogar diese waren am Schluss der dreistündigen Führung mit David sehr zufrieden und wir fanden einhellig, dass sich das 100 Prozent gelohnt hat, die Führung mit David zu buchen. Für mich war die Orientierung am ersten Tag eher schwierig in Lissabon. David schuf einen guten Überblick und wusste zu jedem Stadtviertel Charakteristisches zu erzählen. Und er hatte viel Geduld für unsere Snack- und Gelatostopps. Zusätzlich gab er uns diverse Tipps mit auf den Heimweg für die kommenden Ferientage in Lissabon. Herzlichen Dank an David!
