Wonderful and informative tour - Ricardo was a wonderful guide! Not only did he share his knowledge about Lisbon, but he did it in a way to engage my children. Even bringing us to a playground when they needed a quick break! The while family enjoyed his tour!!

Lisbon with Locals tour - the best - An absolute win starting off our holiday in Portugal with "withlocals". The experience provided a base for further "withlocal" tours we did in other cities. It gave us an opportunity to figure out some city secrets, best of places and other trips to add to our itinerary. We found an absolute gem in Rita. She felt like one of the family and conversation was easy going and even our young teen boys had a great time and enjoyed the entire trip. Rita is well versed, knowledgeable and a wealth of knowledge regarding Lisbon.We cannot thank her enough and sing her praises. What a trip.

A great kickstart start for our trip to Lisboa! - Carlos knows Lisboa, he knows the present and history. The guides walk with him was a great kickstart for us, two adults, and for boys 16 years old. Carlos was able to involve us all in the tour young and old(er)! My husband was recovering from a flue and consequently short breathed. Carlos noticed that and found us a (for us) hidden elevator in Alfama. He was perceptive in everyones needs and constantly involving us all with fun facts. The extra tips he gave us where great from the stamp in the bookstore to a delicious lunch place! Muito obrigada Carlos!

Afternoon in Lisbon with Jorge - Our family of 5 had a lovely afternoon with Jorge getting oriented in Lisbon. We started at Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara. The kids were entertained by a guy making humongous bubbles while Jorge gave us a history lesson on Lisbon while pointing out places from our beautiful viewpoint we were at as well as showing us on maps he had. We stopped multiple times to get snacks including pastel de nata, cod cakes and gelato. We covered a lot of ground on our tour but had ample breaks to rest. We visited many places including the Elevador de Santa Justa which was probably my favorite stop and we finished at Sao Jorge Castle to see the peacocks and take in some more great views of this beautiful city. Jorge was a very informative guide and I would recommend him. That being said Withlocals changed our tour guide twice after I booked originally.

Great way to learn about the city! - Francisco was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area. We learned so many new things during the tour. He was accommodating to the age ranges we had in our tour (two seniors, one child and one adult).

10 out of 10 - My family and I had the pleasure of touring Lisbon with Jorge. He was a wealth of knowledge, extremely patient (we had our 6 year old son with us) and just overall a very personable guide. We walked all over the city stopping at two locations for a pasty and ice cream. It was an overall 10 out of 10 day and if visiting Lisbon again I would seek Jorge for another tour.

Family with kids in Lisbon - Luis was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, patient and flexible. He knew the city in and out and took us to places we would have never seen on our own . I would highly recommend a tour with him.
