Amazing hike and even better conversation. Sofia was incredible. She shared all of the local knowledge that she has and stopped along the way to explain plants, history and even smell the roses! She pointed out the best lunch spots and shared other tips with us. We hope to see Sofia again, she was the best! Hike was beautiful!

Lisbon jewish history tour
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.

Amazing tour!
Joao is amazing. So kind and thoughtful and interesting! He knew such a wide range of history and fun facts about Lisbon, and especially the Jewish community that left us thinking and wondering more! He did a great job pointing out tips of places to go and ways to make the city more accessible (hidden elevators, escalators, etc.) and he was awesome to send us a detailed list of many more recomendations and followed up on the various things we spoke about. He was able to make the tour interesting for our 10 year old daughter and also was sensitive to the heat that day, and kept looking for spots with shade where we could talk comfortably. Definitely book your tour with Joao - you won't be disappointed!

Roots, Rhythm, and Real Connection!
From the very first moment, Antonio brought the Roots to Rhythm tour to life with his deep knowledge, magnetic storytelling, and warm presence. This wasn’t just a sightseeing tour — it was an immersive experience that connected the threads of history, identity, and culture in ways I’ll never forget.
Antonio’s ability to illuminate Lisbon’s African influences — from sacred spaces to bustling markets — was nothing short of masterful. He guided us through hidden corners of the city that most tourists would miss, weaving together stories of resilience, migration, and cultural fusion with heart and humility.
Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, every viewpoint rich with meaning, and every moment anchored in truth and reverence. I walked away not just more informed, but more connected — to the city, its history, and to my own story as part of a larger global tapestry.
If you’re looking for a tour that will move you, challenge you, and stay with you long after it’s over, Roots to Rhythm with Antonio is it. Truly one of the most meaningful travel experiences I’ve ever had.
