Artur was communicative from the start, recommending an easier meeting spot from our hotel, restaurants and specific places to visit based on our daughter’s interests. Artur was accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly even checking on us the next day when the threat of fires closed down roads to Sintra.
It felt like traveling around the city with an old friend.A view across Lisbon

We LOVED Inês! She accommodated our group tour with grace and ease. She was SO kind, celebrating my daughter’s 7th birthday with us by showing us a favorite local ice cream place. She even brought her a candle—so thoughtful! We greatly enjoyed her depth of knowledge about the history of Lisbon, as well as the ease with which she navigated our large party of adults and children around the city. It was also such a gift to hear her sing to our group in authentic Portuguese Fado—brought tears to my eyes and was an experience that captivated our whole group and all the passerby. We highly recommend her, and would definitely book with her again! Ines was amazing!

We had a fascinating tour of Lisbon with Andre. It was based around the route of the Tram 28 but it was so much more than that. Lots of walking too! We got a lot of the history and what it’s like to live in Lisbon now. We saw the sights and really got a good feel of the place. Would recommend Andre. Great experience with Andre

Good evening Ines, just back from a delightful Portugese tapas style meal near our Hotel. Thank you for the wonderful adventure we enjoyed so much through Lisbon. So many places we would never venture to visit on our own!! It was a shame about the tram, but that’s life, so be it, and isn’t the end of the world and an opportunity to improvise!! We still saw and experienced so much and enjoyed lots of of good historical background. Thanks for the recommendations which we will check out. If you are in London do connect with us and we can enjoy seeing you once again. All good wishes. Alexis & Tschong hieMusicians love to improvise!!

André was timely, so knowledgeable, funny, patient and ressourceful. He was very patient with our 3 kids (15,12 and 9) who spent 30min in the oldest bookstore atop in business. He had great and funny stories that our kids engaged and provided great addresses for restaurant and pastries. Despite the extreme heat, he offered us a 3h tour and took the metro with us all the way to the restaurant. He is a true historian that loves to share his passion or Portugal. Amazing and engaging walking tour for kids

Veerle is een hele fijne gids om Lissabon te leren kennen. Ze weet enorm veel van de stad, kent de leuke binnenwegen, geeft veel goeie tips voor de andere dagen (goeie restaurantjes, winkels,...) . Echt een aanrader. Wij waren er met onze 2 tiener kids (13 & 15) en ook zij vonden het heel leuk. Leuke en leerrijke rondleiding met topgids

We had a lovely time being guided by Veerle through Lisbon. She will tell you a lot about the past and present - adjusted to the subjects you want to know more about. I do think it’s expensive but it was worth it for me because it was in Dutch which was easier to understand for my kid. Veerle is very knowledgeable.

Auch wenn unsere Teenies erst alle skeptisch waren, konnte uns Luis mit seiner Art alle begeistern.
Es sind keinerlei Fragen offen geblieben, auf alle Wünsche wurde Rücksicht genommen, die Zeit verging wie im Flug.

Inês was a fabulous tour guide! We had a short visit to Lisbon and wanted to check out the highlights and she delivered! She is so knowledgeable about the history, culture, architecture…we learned so much. She was very accommodating to our family, which includes our 12 yo triplet daughters. She can be flexible if you need a break or want to grab some ice cream ;) And if you’re lucky, you will hear her beautiful singing voice. Obrigada, Inês, until next time!Fun and Comprehensive Tour of Lisbon!

Peter was extremely knowledgeable, weaving together both the secular and Jewish life of Lisbon through the centuries. He uncovered the architectural clues to the history of the Jews in Lisbon, bringing to life the rich history and vital part that the Jewish community played in contributing to the economy and culture of Lisbon. He also highlighted the persecution of the Jews during several periods from before the inquisition until WWII.
We are grateful for his comprehensive tour.

We had such a wonderful day with Tiago. He was a fantastic host and tour guide. We had our 2 year old daughter with us and he was just so wonderful with her. He made our day extra special. The tour was excellent - he was so knowledgeable and took us through the valley for a port tasting and tour, boat trip on the river and we stopped for lunch for some of the best food we had while on this trip. Highly recommend Tiago and this tour. Wonderful experience for me and my family. Fantastic day in Duoro Valley with Tiago!

We booked Marta on the day we arrived in Lisbon and selected a 6 pm start time when the day’s high temps began to cool down. She tailored our nearly 3 hour tour to our interests (history, neighborhoods, tile and places to eat. I know: isn’t that what everyone wants? But Marta asked questions to curate our walking tour while also ensuring we saw the highlights. At the end of the tour, Marta walked us to a restaurant for dinner that was a perfect cherry on top of a perfect tour. She sent a customized recommendation list right afterward. Please book Marta. You will be so pleased!You must book Marta!

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

Luis did a wonderful job keeping us informed and meeting us in a timely manner. Saw so many churches and beautiful sights, such as the Sao Roque, the Gloria elevator, the Se church, church of St. Dominic, history of the area, the plazas, the people and Porteguese rulers. We passed by so many areas and learned so much! Also had time for a water break, cherry liquor (ginjinha), and custard pastries! It was so worth doing, I highly recommend.wonderful day in Lisbon!

Inez was the best. She gave us a historical overview of Lisbon that provided us with a real appreciation for what led up to the culture of today. We also learned so much about the area from a non-tourist perspective. And then she sang for us at the end. We had no idea until that moment that she also sang professionally. It was magical. Inez was a 10+.

We had a fantastic day with Andre.
Great e bikes in excellent condition with nice helmets. There’s an excellent bike path along the waterfront. We were glad that we had André to guide us, as there are some tricky transitions. We rode out to the tower of Belem and André pointed out all of the key sites. He has a superb knowledge of history, culture and the ins and outs of Lisbon. He also gave us. Get lunch recommendation. We felt like we learned a lot, got some nice exercise and enjoyed the beauty of the town. On top of it all, he is a really nice and friendly guy. I would recommend him to all my friends.Beautiful waterfront bikeride with Andre

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

Lisbon was our last stop on our week in Portugal and we definitely saved the best tour for last. Luis was friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. We ventured to Sintra, Pena Castle, Caiscase and saw some
Lovely beaches along the way. Our Full day tour included enough free time to shop and have a great lunch at a restaurant that Luis recommended.
Luis arrived on time. His vehicle was clean and comfortable and he was a safe and courteous driver. Amazing last day in Portugal with Luis!

After finding I had a day free in Lisbon, I was lucky enough to book a last minute tour with Inez!
She even offered to change the meeting place to make it easier for me walking there. 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! Unexpected delight to tour with Inez!

Ik koos voor Veerle als gids op onze 1ste dag Lissabon omwille van haar 3-taligheid, haar sympathieke uitstraling!
Veerle weet veel over de historie van Lissabon en bracht haar verhalen vol passie. 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. Kortom 3 uren stadstour met Veerle was aangenaam en zeer leerrijk! Stadstour Lissabon met gids Veerle

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

Andre guided my wife and I on an e-bike tour with a stop at a local lunch spot. Andre was very knowledgeable and his love for history and storytelling was a highlight of the trip. We also really enjoyed the local restaurant he selected and he guided us through the menu selecting several items that locals would eat. We would have been less adventurous without his help. We really enjoyed the day and highly recommend a tour with Andre.Fantastic Lisbon Day

Marta was very knowledgably about Lisbon and the history of her country. We met her on the second day of our arrival, and her introductory tour made the rest of our experience in Lisboa well-spent. She is fluent in English, and she minimized the walking tour by using short cuts which we as retirees appreciated.
I strongly recommend Marta as a tour guide.
