Carlos knows Lisboa, he knows the present and history. The guides walk with him was a great kickstart for us, two adults, and for boys 16 years old. Carlos was able to involve us all in the tour young and old(er)! My husband was recovering from a flue and consequently short breathed. Carlos noticed that and found us a hadden elevator in Alfama. He was perceptive in everyones needs and constantly involving us all with fun facts. The extra tips he gave us where great from the stamp in the bookstore to a delicious lunch place! Muito obrigada Carlos!Great start of out visit to Lisboa

Carlos is een rustige en aangename gids met zeer veel kennis over Lissabon. Hij peilt gaandeweg naar je interesses en past de rondleiding daaraan aan. We hebben een hele tour gedaan in het oude stadsgedeelte Alfama en vonden daar smalle straatjes met achter elke hoek een nieuwe verrassing! Dit was mijn eerste keer Lissabon, maar zeker niet mijn laatste. Ik zou iedereen een rondleiding met Carlos aanraden ;-).Surprising Lissabon

13 April 2024

First of all, Ângelo was very responsive and easy to engage with in planning the tour. My partner and I had been here before so wanted something a bit bespoke - no problem! He set up everything so we could see some new corners of the city (and he also showed us some of his favorite eating spots). He is very knowledgeable about history and made the streets come alive for us. He also knows a lot about the city's footways (an interest of ours) and provided a lot of interesting context. I'd highly recommend him and would look to do another tour with him next time!The way to see Lisbon

21 August 2023

Wir (2Erwachsene, 2 Teenager) hatten die Kickstart-Tour mit Lucia gebucht. Leider ist unsere U-Bahn ausgefallen und wir mussten uns erst ein Uber organisieren um zum Treffpunkt zu kommen. Lucia hat die ganze Zeit auf uns gewartet und uns dann in der verbliebenen Stunde einen guten Überblick über Lissabon vermittelt. Auch für ein paar geschichtliche Fakten und Tipps zu geheimen Aufzügen reichte die Zeit. Vielen lieben Dank an Lucia!Der beste Überblick und sehr kurzer Zeit

(About local David)

17 July 2023

David ist ein wirklich gut informierter ausgezeichneter Fremdenführer. Wir hatten die Tour deutschsprachig und empfehlen ihn von ganzem Herzen weiter. David gave us an excellent tour. For us it was a perfect mixture of informations about the history, culture and way of living in Lisbon. On our 1 1/2 h walk around we got a nice impression of the old part of the city, had enough time to take tons of pictures and learned some tricks how you can get to higher levels without hiking up every hill. Additionally he gave us recommendations for dining and driving around. It was worth every cent. So all in all we are happy, that we chose David for the tour and would do it again when we come again to Lisbon. Can’t dream it better!
