We had the most amazing experience with Jorge. His historical and geographical knowledge of Lisbon was hugely informative along side his passion and dry sense of humour. We would highly recommend this tour. We learned so much from Jorge who was also an excellent photographer and we haven’t stopped taking panoramic pictures tweaking here and there. Thank you Jorge. You truly made our experience very special with lots of laughter.
It would be an understatement to say that Jorge’s tour of Lisbon exceeded our expectations. On a scale of 1 to 10, Jorge is a 12. He was one of the original five guides for Get Locals when they started in Lisbon many years ago. Having a guide who is both a pioneer and a city planner for Lisbon offers a unique combination of experience and knowledge. My family and I benefited from Jorge’s talents on a most memorable city tour. I would confidently say that if you do not choose Jorge as your guide for a tour of Lisbon, you will miss out on something truly special
Sylvia hosted my family and me for a food tour in Lisbon. The words that we used to describe her at breakfast the next day were delightful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, captivating, lovely and many more superlative adjectives. The places she took us to are the types of places we love to go to but would never find them on our own in a million years. The food served was truly amazing with lots of variety. At each restaurant we visited Sylvia told the story of why she chose this one and with each dish she told it's story. I would unhesitantly recommend you engage Sylvia for your food tour of Lisbon. Do it now before she gets too busy to accommodate you!
I’d thoroughly recommend Igor as your guide to Lisbon. In particular, a first day tour from Igor with all his local and cultural knowledge is the perfect set up to a few days of further exploring. Igor is very friendly and it was a pleasure to spend a morning with him. Don’t forget to ask him for his restaurant recommendations!! Obrigado Igor!
