Amazing tour of Lisbon’s main spots - Lovely experience! Vivian was great and informative. Had an amazing time going over the history, culture, art and music at various spots. 2.5 hr went by so quickly and it didn’t seem like it was rushed at all. As this was off season, there were only total 7 people in our tour and it felt more or less private, saw some other walking tours happening with 25-30 people, I would think those are hard to get much out of! Go with this company, instead! Thank you for wonderful memories!

Well worth joining. 3 hours of relatively easy walking in areas of traditional architecture and good vantage points to view the - Expertly guided through the streets of Alfama by Valeria. An extremely bubbly character who kept us entertained and informed as well as leading us to good viewpoints for photos and trying out the ginginha.

Discover The Ins and Outs of One of the Oldest Cities! - This tour will give your legs a workout. Many hills and lots of steps. My son and I enjoyed every minute of it. We learned a lot about Alfama past, present, and future. Best of all, Jose, our awesome tour guide, is a first rate tour guide whose love for his adopted city is evident from the initial introduction to the follow up email. Highly recommend the Alfama tour with Jose. Do it early in your stay. Jose shares lots of Lisbon useful info!

Thoroughly enjoyable walking tour - Our first day in Lisbon, we did this tour guided by Nathalia - she was brilliant. The tour was fun with just the right balance between historical facts and information on the city as it is today. Plus lots of guidance of places to see, how to get about, things to eat etc etc. If you are thinking of taking this tour, go for it!
