Do you see yourself wandering along mosaic-tiled, purple jacaranda tree-lined avenues and grand squares, checking out some of the splendid sights like Praça do Comércio, or is a 1000-year-old neighborhood where you can duck into tiny shops selling ceramics, nibble on petiscos and explore the Moorish São Jorge Castle more your style?
Just let us know what you’d like to experience, and we’ll do our best to make it happen. After all, we know that a city is more than a place, but a feeling. And so, that’s exactly what you’ll experience on your day with your host as you discover Lisbon your way.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Pedro, who treated me as a friend and not just another tourist. His deep knowledge of history, sense of humor, surprises pointing out hidden treasures, acceptance of my multitude of questions, and movement at my pace made this a very enriching experience. Thank you, Pedro!
