When planning a visit to Lisbon for the first time I picked Henrique with Walking With Locals after reading his excellent reviews. He immediately responded back and we set up a 3 hour walking tour of Lisbon. He arrived on time in drizzling rain, ready to go. He was kind, fun, professional, and very knowledgable about the history of Lisbon and he knew just the right places to take us to having grown up there. I couldn’t believe how quick 3 hours went by! We enjoyed Henrique so much and really felt that we got a wonderful taste of Lisbon. We highly recommend him!
Our tour with Amanda was simply amazing! Amanda was flexible about our start time due to weather which we really appreciated. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the city she clearly loves. Amanda had an in-depth knowledge of the history of Lisbon as well as tons of interesting facts about current events and life in Lisbon today. Her routing on our walking tour also seemed to make the hills super manageable. If we had another day in Lisbon I would have loved to do one of her food tours - as Amanda was also passionate about the food of Portugal and Lisbon specifically- wold not hesitate to recommend Amanda as your tour guide!
We highly recommend Sonia who gave us an excellent tour of Lisbon’s historical centre, including a couple of places and short cuts we would never have known about or found if we hadn’t been with Sonia. She is such a lovely person, very friendly and gave us such a lot of information about Lisbon in general during the tour. It’s well worth the money and a much nicer way to take a tour rather than walking around in a large group. We’d definitely take another tour with Sonia if we come back to Lisbon.
My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a Lisbon Food Tour with Ana Paula and had a great time and great conversation. She was able to customize our visits to exclude a few things we already tried and also give us a taste of better versions of some things we had tried earlier in the week as well. We had some wonderful hams and cheeses, pastries, amazing octopus salad, even more bachalau and, my favorite, the bifana. She also sent us a list of restaurants to try and was helpful throughout our whole trip. Book a tour with Ana Paula and enjoy a taste of Lisbon!
