Hi there! Nice to meet you

Marisa

Hi there! I'm Marisa, originally from Spain and living in Lisbon for 11 years. Since I first came here I fell in love with the city, and started working as a guide since then for different Tourism agencies. I have a degree in Art History and I'm also an absolute passionate of music, street art, dancing and all types of culture in general. During our tours we will not only learn about Lisbon's history, but we'll also focus on the influence of music and street art in this city, getting off-the-beaten-tracks to visit charming spots where rarely visitors get, enjoying a Fado performance, some African music concert in a small tavern or just discovering stunning hidden old palaces interiors. I LOVE music, really! and I´m a big enthusiast of music venues, so don't hesitate to ask me about recommendations about listening good live music in the city, such as Cape Verde, Brazilian or Angola rythms, Fado small and hidden places, jazz music clubs or Latin American vibes :) And also, we will approach to the real locals life by visiting their neighborhoods and, why not, tasting a drink and enjoying the vibrant athmosphere of the local life in Lisbon.

Marisa was phenomenal! She was both incredibly personable and friendly, but also so knowledgable about both the city and its offerings. She not only taught us so much about Lisbon and its neighbourhoods, but provided a list of her personal recommendations for restaurants and Fado places well ahead of our trip, making it easier than ever to plan. She’s amazing, and her tours are worth every penny!Fantastic Experience!

Marisa was friendly and had so much knowledge of Lisbon. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marisa. Marias was fun and accommodating. She even helped us make dinner reservations at one of her recommended restaurants. We highly recommend Marisa for your trip to Lisbon. Fabulous Guide

Having been allocated two guides , Marisa was finally allocated to us. I must say we could not have had a better guide than the wonderful Marisa who quickly became our friend! We gave one or two hints of what we were interested in and left the rest to her.She showed us all the sights we had been looking for and more. She even had an uncanny knack of producing trams just when we wanted them. Her recommendation for restaurants was first class and we had a great meal that night. If you are in Lisbon and looking for a wonderful guide, look no further than Marisa . You won’t be disappointed !!Out perfect tour with Marisa

We waren erg onder de indruk van Marisa. Ze nam ons mee door Lissabon en vertelde er heel prettig over. We zijn weer een stuk wijzer dankzij Marisa. Ze kon veel vertellen over de geschiedenis, architectuur, en de Portugese taal. Wij vonden haar een hele prettige, kundige en vriendelijke gids.Mooie stadswandeling

Our guide Marisa provided exactly what we had hoped for. She gave us an overview of the layout and history of the city of Lisbon, taking us to multiple neighborhoods, including some of the oldest parts. She spoke knowledgeably about city history and current culture, even making sure we stopped to watch nattas being made—-and of course we sampled them too! I strongly recommend Marisa — She was patient with our group of four while we stopped and took pictures, dashed into shops, and asked many questions. Many thanks to her! Delightful overview of Lisbon!

This was our first experience using With Locals and likely the best tour we have ever had anywhere. Marisa was a fabulous guide with rich knowledge of Lisbons culture and history and by the end of the day we wanted to adopt her. She was really fun to be with and the pace of the tour was just right stopping at great photo ops. We were only disappointed that the tour ended after 3 hours as we would have loved to spend the whole day with her. If you are like me, reading the bios of the different guides, don’t bother as it doesn’t get any better than a 3 hour walk around Lisbon with Marisa. Jeffrey A wonderful day in Lisbon

We truly had the best experience with Marisa! She is so passionate and personable. Seeing Lisbon through her eyes was incredible. She is very knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history of this beautiful city. She has a wonderful, warm personality - we felt like we were visiting an old friend. She offered so many suggestions including the best restaurant we have eaten at in Portugal. You have to tour with her to get this gem! :) I also had followup questions after our tour and she quickly responded. Book with Marisa and you will have the best of the best! What an absolute perfect day with Marisa!

Marisa was an excellent guide for us. She provided a great deal of historical knowledge as well as showing us some local art along the way. She also gave us recommendations for seeing local music, art and a great restaurant. We learned a lot about the history of Lisbon in a short amount of time. Marisa was happy to answer our questions and was both highly knowledgeable and very friendly and pleasant to talk with!Perfect guide for our first trip to Lisbon

Marisa picked us up at our hotel and started the most delightful tour of Lisbon that we could ever have imagined. We started in Carmo square and the historical context that she gave all of the places we were seeing was extraordinary. Marisa is friendly, she speaks English beautifully, she treated us to a pastry at a local bakery, and despite the rain that we experienced that day, my husband and I felt it was the best tour we had while we were on this trip. Best Guide Ever
