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!

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

Absolutely loved our walking tour around Lisbon with Ines. She offered to meet us at our hotel which we greatly appreciated. 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

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.

Jorge was incredibly knowledgeable about Lisbon, and the city’s history right up to the current day. He was able to answer all our questions - we learned so much about the city, politics, healthcare, education, culture, sights to see, and where to shop! He had a great sense of humour, was charming, and very engaging. It was such a fabulous tour and welcome to Lisbon, we could have spent the whole day with him if possible. He made Lisbon come alive by pointing out things we would never had noticed and shared stories. He took great care of us, and even showed us how to use the metro - which came in handy during the rest of our trip. Would highly recommend Jorge for future tours! Amazing Lisboa tour!

We spent our second day in Lisbon with Ana Paula, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her deep local knowledge and strong community roots made the tour feel authentic and personal, giving us a true sense of Lisbon beyond the main tourist paths. She guided us through Alfama and beyond, sharing history with passion while leading us to hidden corners and stories we would never have discovered on our own. From breathtaking views at specific locations, each stop came alive through her storytelling. One of the highlights was visiting artisan shops and Cerâmica D’Alfama, a wonderful gallery run by two talented women artists. These stops gave us a deeper appreciation for Lisbon’s creative spirit and the people keeping its traditions and culture vibrant. Ana Paula’s warmth, connections, and insight gave us an experience rooted in the real Lisbon. If you want to see the city through the eyes of someone who loves its history, supports its community, and celebrates its artists, we can’t recommend Ana Paula enough. Another great day - 2nd day of Lisbon

What we loved most was how she mixed history with personal touches, making us feel like we were exploring the city with a local friend. She brought us to great food stops, like O Trevo for a pork sandwich and Manteigaria for the freshest pastel de nata. She pointed out even more! If you’re visiting Lisbon, we can’t recommend Sónia enough, she made our first impression of the city truly special.Best day in Lisbon!
