My friend and I had a fabulous and informative 5 hour tour with Inês. She came earlier than scheduled to our hotel and then began a journey of information and fun. Inês was everything we hoped for in a guide. She was extremely knowledgeable but relaxed and made the tour enjoyable. We learnt a lot but had a great time too. She communicates very well in English and her energy is amazing. I would recommend Inês without a shadow of doubt and if in Lisboa again, would choose her again. Thank you Inês for a great tour.Fab tour of Lisboa with an expert

8 May 2025

We had a private tour with Lucia at the end of April, booked through Withlocals – and it was simply perfect! Communication beforehand via WhatsApp was smooth and personal. Lucia really tailored the experience to our group – we weren’t looking for dry facts and figures, and she picked up on that immediately. We saw all the major highlights, heard fascinating stories, and got so many insider tips for the rest of our stay. One of the spontaneous highlights was stopping by a local tavern to enjoy a glass of Ginjinha. Lucia speaks excellent German and has such a warm and engaging personality. Our tip: book the tour at the beginning of your trip so you can make the most of all her recommendations. Highly recommended! A true highlight of our Lisbon trip!

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.

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.

(About local Alphé)

9 June 2025

We loved the history content but were surprised with wine and food part . Normally we do just a history group walking tours ( free sort of ones if available) . We only had 3 nights in Lisbon, with one day spent in Sintra we decided to have a private tour covering all aspects of local culture. We totally enjoyed the history part but I thing the food /wine part is guided by the Company guidelines and it wasn’t what we expected for 250 euros . The lesson - don’t assume - ask , I mean ask about what food , wine experiences have been planned. If it’s private it should be tailored to some extent to your liking. We only visited two places and neither did wine testing . First place ( like a milk bar in Australia) offered a sweet white wine out of the 4 L cask .. not something we would drink plus my husband doesn’t drink white wine at all ( sulphate issues). Second place - lunch in a local tavern . Food was nice but it wasn’t tasting as we only had 2 dishes .. and a bottle of red covered with a brown paper .. not sure why but it was a nice wine . Desert was a take away .. yes pastels de nata , yummy of course:) So looks like the Company gives quite low budget do the guides for the food and wine as it’s far from to be called tasting and the price is over the top for what you get . My price value rating is based on the food / wine part as the history only tours are worth 20-50 euros per person in the group setting . For the private tour - the question is what would you like / dislike is what anyone would expect . For the history/ culture knowledge we would give Alphe - 10 ! He was amazing! Great guide but questionable company

This 3-hour walking tour was the highlight of our trip to Lisbon. It is the perfect way to get the lay of the land once you get to Lisbon. Our guide, Sonia, was delightful and knowledgeable, and because she has a travel blog and TV travel spot, she is the ideal guide. For 3 hours she shared the history of Lisbon and stories about well known sites, as well as hidden treasures. She even bought us pastel de natas and cherry liqueur along the way! By the end of the tour, we felt that Sonia was a personal friend, and later she even helped us arrange a taxi to the airport. We give this tour, and Sonia, our highest recommendation!Fabulous tour

We organised a tour on our first day in Lisbon and it was a great way to be introduced to the city. Sónia has a passion for what she does which comes across instantly. We learned a lot about the city, sampled some local delights and found ourselves visiting some of the locations again following the tour. Sónia is very easy to get on with and I would recommend her tour to anyone who is thinking of booking. Just right!

We visited Lisbon for three days and it was our first visit. We booked Lili on the first day to get an overview of the city. We booked her for a private tour, which was perfect. She is easy to talk to and asked a few questions to get an understanding of what we were interested in, and then she adjusted her planning accordingly. She showed us many hidden gems, which we loved. We still talk about the amazing library she showed us. She showed and told us about the city's history and important landmarks, which was great! She also gave us tips on restaurants, other things to see, but also what we didn't need to spend time on since we were there for such a short time. Lili is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, responsive. We are so happy with our tour and can highly recommend booking her for a tour.Private Tour in Lisbon in end of May

Angelo Andre gave us an unforgettable experience touring the historical highlights of Lisbon. As someone who emigrated to the US at a very young age , I knew very little about Portuguese history. Angelo taught me more in the few hours we spent with him than I could have learned in a full semester course. His passion and knowledge permeated during our entire tour. If you want to learn and experience Portuguese history and culture, this tour is a must do.Must do experience

Would 100% recommend Angelo to anyone looking to experience Lisbon with a local! Angelo met us at the train station and asked us to treat him as a friend for the duration of the tour and said to ask as many questions we would like on various topics and sites as we travelled through the city. Angelo was very courteous and deeply knowledgeable on his subject. He obviously had researched this subject very well, both historic and current Lisbon. He very clearly loves the city and is very protective of its heritage. He brought us to a number of local shops and gave us a flavour of Portuguese/Lisbon culture including Ginjinha and the coffee culture. He also had a great rapport with local businesses. Big Highlight of our trip to the area. Thank you Angelo! Fantastic experience

A delightful experience. It is wonderful to experience her enthusiasm about Portugal and its history. She went Above and beyond to check the cleanliness of a public toilet before we used it- I would never even think of asking someone do that! Sunday am was perfect with less crowds. A savoury treat at my request site the pastel de nata are so addictive. Inez spontaneously shared her amazing singing at one point. Since she’s a professional- big surprise- it was so lovely! She recommended some other spots- Belem - and showed me where to catch the tram.that a must do was trying the pastais de Belem! Done, and delicious! A perfect day!

Ze toetste ook af wat ons als toerist in Lissabon interesseerde: monumenten,locale food spots, handel, parken, verschillende regio’s Alfama, Baixa, Sintra,… Transport (metro, taxi, Uber, Tuktuk, Tram28, fietsverhuur in Lissabon en wat zijn de prijzen.

Veerle heeft de voorbereiding van ons dagprogramma en de ontmoetingsplek perfect geregeld. Veerle reageerde snel en goed op onze vragen vooraf over bijvoorbeeld tips restaurants. Dat was heel fijn. Veerle was netjes gekleed en we vertrokken op tijd via de trein naar Sintra. Vanaf het begin tot het einde was ons contact met Veerle prettig en relaxed. Veerle is een open mens en oprecht belangstellend. Zij vertelde ons veel waardevols over Portugal, Lissabon, Sintra en de mensen die daar wonen. We hebben een prachtige dag met haar beleefd en we bevelen haar als gids zeker aan. Een eerlijk oordeel geven over de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding vinden we lastig. Een dagtour met een privé gids was voor ons namelijk de 1ste keer. Wat ons hierbij zou helpen is een specificatie van de opbouw van de totaalprijs van 400 euro. Bijvoorbeeld de verhouding tussen de overheadkosten en het salaris van Veerle.Een prettige gids met waardevolle info

(About local Gilby )

4 June 2025

Good morning, On Monday, June 2, we participated in a 3-hour walking tour in Lisbon with your company. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the experience and feel it did not align with what was advertised. The tour lacked the depth and substance we were expecting. There were no meaningful talking points or historical insights shared, and we didn’t stop at any locations for further explanation or context. It felt more like a basic walk with brief identifications of buildings rather than an engaging, informative experience. To be candid, we believe we would have received more value from a complimentary walking tour, which is quite disheartening given the investment we made. Given the significant gap between expectations and delivery, we feel a partial refund—40–50%—would be fair and appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, NancyNot as Advertised
