Peter is a great guide! (Great tour in French) He made us discover the history and evolution of Lisbon through the streets, monuments and its documented supports. He captivated us during the entire visit, both on the historical, artistic, architectural part, etc... Really unfortunate that we met him on the last day of our stay, we would have loved to do one of the other tours he offers. A reason to return to Lisbon! Captivating visit! To do without hesitation! Translated by Google·See original (French)"We were captivated!"

We loved this tour. Peter is so knowledgeable about the history of the city and took us to lots of wee tucked away streets and places of historical importance. We learned so much in 3 hours. Cannot recommend highly enough. When we come back we would definitely try one of his other tours. Small numbers (there were 5 of us all together) meant it was easy to follow him into smaller spaces and ask questions during the tour. Lisbon has so much to see! Will return."We loved this tour!"

We've been on many walking tours throughout the world and this is one of the best! Peter walked up to us and told us about his tour and it really was an unexpected highlight of our trip! Peter is very knowledgeable of the history and stories of Lisbon/Portugal. He really took his time to explain everything and answer any questions we had. Also really appreciated all the photos he whipped out across the tour to help us visualize the stories. He also had wonderful local recommendations and we truly learned a lot about this beautiful place! Highly recommend Peter for your next tour!!!!"One of the best!"

I’m very glad I was able to join this tour. It was a wonderful experience, clearly a highlight of my stay here. It was never boring, very interesting and entertaining. I learned so much, much better than my two guidebooks and the internet. I would recommend this your to any Lisbon visitor. Eye opening. Normally I would have walked just past the most interesting things and wouldn’t even know that I missed so much."Eye opening!"

We joined Peter for Lisbon and Sintra tour which was very educational and cultural inspiring . Peter is very calm and knowledgeable about the history, there was no rush despite the rich content and place of interests covered. We wished we had met Peter at the beginning of our Lisbon visit, when we return we definitely will seek Peter’s company and guidance again"Calm and knowledgeable...there was no rush!"

We met Peter at a stop along our self directed walking tour and immediately took him up on his offer of his services - a walking tour he called introduction to Lisbon. It was absolutely excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Lisbon with 2-3 hours to learn about the history of the city and see some key sites. Peter was very knowledgeable and had a very pleasant style."It was absolutely excellent!"
