Sónia was just what we needed on our first day in Lisbon. She took us to some of here favorite places and arranged for us to eat some of her favorite foods in what is her hometown. Sonia is very sweet, very smart and a pleasure to be with during our too short two hour tour! We highly recommend Sonia to others visiting Lisbon.Sweet Sonia!

I booked Sónia’s 1.5-hour tour on my last day in Lisbon as a way to wrap up my trip. Even though the tour was short, Sonia managed to pack in a lot of interesting stories, history and insider tips that gave me a deeper understanding of the city :) Sónia herself is warm, funny and very easy to talk to and ask questions and she always had engaging answers and insights to share! Since I did the tour alone, the price was on the higher side, but I knew that in advance and honestly, it was worth it for the personalized experience. Highly recommended!Fun, insightful & personal tour with Sónia

We booked Sonia to give us an introductory walking tour of old Lisbon on our first morning in town. She was very flexible in putting back the start time to avoid the rain and met us at our hotel reception. We were impressed by her knowledge of the city and her excellent English. She showed us lots of local places, avoiding the tourist traps and giving us a lot of recommendations for the remainder of our stay. We were all glad we did the tour and would definitely recommend Sonia. Absolutely recommend Sonia!

Our group was a large, multi-generational family, including a toddler and Sonia was both knowledgeable and patient. She took us to some of her favorite local places to sample Lisbon cuisine. The food was wonderful and Sonia is a great host. Obviously proud of her city and thoroughly knowledgeable about the history and fun facts. We had a great day. Thank you Sonia!

We just finished our 10 tastings tour with Sónia. What a wonderful experience! Sónia was an amazing guide! She took us to several places, all of which were fantastic. Everything we ate and drank was absolutely delicious. She was very sweet, and even made accommodations to try a local food a friend had told me about. If you’re in Lisbon, and you like food, you should absolutely take this tour with Sónia!An amazing tour

We had the pleasure of spending our first day in Lisbon with Sónia, and she made the experience unforgettable. She was warm, friendly, and so knowledgeable, guiding us through highlights like the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, Castelo de S. Jorge, and the beautiful Igreja de São Roque. What we loved most was how she mixed history with personal touches, making us feel like we were exploring the city with a local friend. She brought us to great food stops, like O Trevo for a pork sandwich and Manteigaria for the freshest pastel de nata. She pointed out even more! If you’re visiting Lisbon, we can’t recommend Sónia enough, she made our first impression of the city truly special.Best day in Lisbon!

I booked a tasting tour with Sonia on our arrival day. I had worried we might be too jet lagged to enjoy it but I was so glad I booked anyway! Sonia is warm and so easy to talk with and it’s apparent how much she loves her hometown and it’s food! I now have a list of things I want to order again during our stay! She was a wealth of information and set our trip onto the right foot! Highly recommend! I feel like we made a good friend! The best first day!

Sónia was our guide for a local food tour and she gave us the perfect peek into Lisbon food and culture. Friendly, open and knowledgeable, it was like strolling around the neighbourhood having delicious snacks with your smart and funny friend. Highly recommend.Fabulous experience.

Walking around the city with Sonia was like walking with a close friend. We walked , laughed and did not know where the time went . I had to add an extra person the day before and Sónia went out of her way to coordinate withlocals team to add the extra person. She provides the right level of detail, and tailored the tour based on our needs . Would recommend Sónia to everyone in. Heartbeat.

Our experience with Sonia was Exceptional. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and so fun to be with. We learned so many things, Through the eyes of someone who knew the country inside and out. She made us feel like a local and not a tourist. Would encourage you to book a tour you will not be disappointed. See spectacular Spain with Sonia.
