Rodrigo took us through town in the 5 hour walk. History, culture. It was all there. Took time to answer our questions. Because we were only with us two, the price was relativily high. But that is not to blame to Rodrigo. Nice tour!

What a great time we had tour Lisbon with Joao! He was thorough and patient as he took us through all of the neighborhoods of downtown Lisbon. He took us to some great spots for Pastel de Nata, Ginja drink, and many other local historical spots. Even when our time was over he offered to show us more. Joao folowed up with us on popular shops, restaurants, and other things to do while we were in Lisbon. We can't speak highly enough about our tour and would highly recommend it to all visiting Lisbon.Great Tour!

19 August 2025

I booked a private half day tour several weeks before we arrived in Lisbon. Ana was our guide and she promptly met us at our hotel for a walking tour of Lisbon. Ana was extremely knowledgeable and started us off with a Funicular ride near the hotel. We saw St. Roch Cathedral and the amazing sites in the area. Lunch was phenomenal at Bairro do Avillez which is not to be missed. The views of Lisbon from this area give you a great appreciation of the architecture and ocean. Ana was very understanding and tailored the tour to our preferences. I had several chats with her before which I highly recommend when booking a private tour. Lisbon is very hilly so you need to be in decent shape. Overall I highly recommend Ana if you decide on a private tour. She is friendly and very passionate about Lisbon. Excellent Private Tour of Lisbon

Ines is incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history with fascinating stories and local insights. Her enthusiasm and passion for Lisbon was enchanting and refreshing. We came away with a deeper appreciation for Lisbon and some great local tips. Ines helped us to understand the train and tram system for our visits to Sintra and Cascais. It was a 40 degree day and Ines was mindful of the heat. We highly recommend Ines. Wonderful tour with Ines - Choose Ines

We had a 5 hour city tour of Lisbon with Amanda on Saturday, June 14, 2025. It was marvelous! First of all she is so immediately warm and friendly - I felt as though she was a good friend that I've known for years. She took us to amazing spots for stunning vistas, informed us on all aspects of Lisbon; history, architecture, music and my favorite- Portuguese food! She's full of energy and gave us an experience and knowledge of this beautiful city that we would absolutely not been able to achieve without her. She gave us a number of recommendations for dinner after - specifically some with vegan and vegetarian options. It was a perfect afternoon, a highlight of our 10 day trip to Portugal. Miss her already! I highly recommend Amanda! Amanda's the best!!

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

(About local Lucia)

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!

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.

Our group of 6 enjoyed a spectacular, informative tour with Angelo through the beautiful streets of Lisbon. Angelo shared a wealth of information about the history of Portugal and how the food and drinks we had were connected. He took us to his favourite restaurants for us to taste some of the best the city had to offer. It was so delicious! Angelo gave multiple recommendations for other places during our trip to Portugal. He went above and beyond what was expected. He is so passionate about his country ❤️🇵🇹 Angelo is highly recommended for this tour. Vancouver foodies

This was our first trip to Lisbon and a food tour was recommended for any first time visitor. We found the "with locals" website and it gave us numerous options for tours, times and guides. We chose Lili simply because she looked friendly. Lili was prompt at our meeting spot and we began our 3 hour food tour. Lili couldn't have been nicer and her English was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable on Lisbon and Portugal history and gave us a super walking tour through a few neighborhoods. We stopped for some traditional snacks while we continued to learn about Lisbon. We then worked our way to a traditional Portuguese restaurant for a lunch with several varied local dishes. It was the most authentic meal we had while in Lisbon, she actually spent a little extra time with us to show her favorite church. All in all a very enjoyable and informative day. The only recommendation would be to add a few more varied tastings. Thanks Lili.Lisbon with Lili

The places Ângelo chose were artfully curated and presented a wide variety of delicious Portuguese food and drinks. I can’t recommend this tour strongly enough, not just for the food but also the history Ângelo reveals along the way. Superb Tour

Bruno is the best. His archeological background and diligent researching sent us into overload.

Even though the tour was short, Sonia managed to pack in a lot of interesting stories, history and insider tips that gave me a deeper understanding of the city :) Sónia herself is warm, funny and very easy to talk to and ask questions and she always had engaging answers and insights to share! Since I did the tour alone, the price was on the higher side, but I knew that in advance and honestly, it was worth it for the personalized experience. Highly recommended!Fun, insightful & personal tour with Sónia

Jorge is a fantastic guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and has the ability to communicate that knowledge in an easy manner that does not overwhelm you. We started with an overview of Lisbon history. It was not a dry account but one that was clear, informative and entertaining. Jorge is a Lisbon local and clearly loves his city. The walk was conducted at an easy pace and Jorge was never rushing us. As well as the highlights of Lisbon we also visited a number of places we would never have thought to go to. At the end of our walk, Jorge took us to a viewpoint to see the sunset and then took us to a small local restaurant where we had a lovely dinner. This was a wonderful experience and I loved every moment of the walk!A fantastic experience
