Great walking tour of Lisbon - Daniel was a great tour guide. He shared lots of history of Portugal including Lisbon and took us to places we never would have found. It was just the right mix of food, fun and education.

Glad to be introduced to Lisbon - Jose was a very personable, engaging guide who was a fount of knowledge about the city he was born in and loves. It was a very well-spent four hours as he gave us a very rounded and in depth picture of what Lisbon is, with of course, Portugal's history as one of modern Europe's first nations as context. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get acquainted with Lisbon. When I return with my wife, would definitely take it again.

Comprehensive walking tour of Lisbon. - Jose was extremely knowledgeable about Portugal and Lisbon's history! He helped pull together the information we received from several other tours during our time in Portugal. The tour covered many of Lisbon's neighborhoods. We even went into some buildings. Along with his knowledge, Jose is upbeat, interested in his work and humorous.

Fantastic walking tour with Joana - We had an incredible experience on this walking tour. Our guide, Joana, was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating insights about Lisbon’s culture and heritage. Over the three hours, she took us to some amazing viewpoints with stunning panoramas of the city. One of the highlights was hearing Joana share the history of Portuguese politics and the revolution. Her passion and personal connection to this history (through her parents’ experiences) made the stories even more compelling. Despite Lisbon’s famous hills, we barely broke a sweat thanks to Joana’s clever “hill hacks.” She led us through hidden elevators and well-placed escalators that we’d never have found on our own! The small bites along the way—a pastel de nata and a cod cake—were absolutely delicious. Joana was also happy to stop whenever we needed, whether for a quick toilet break or to soak in the views, and she answered all of our questions in incredible depth. We were a group of seven (our group of four and three others), and the small group size made the experience feel even more personal. This was an unforgettable way to explore Lisbon, and Joana’s expertise and thoughtful touches made it a standout experience.

Great guide/tour - Great pacing, good information with jokes to keep it fun. Just the right length with proper amount of time (10-15min) to explore on our own at some stops.

Good value for $ - I appreciated the extensive and entertaining history of Portugal and Lisbon -- I've been on tours before where the guide was unable to answer questions that weren't covered in his usual spiel, and that was not the case here. This was a good value for $.
