What you'll do

Imagine what you’d get up to with half a day in Lisbon with an old friend. Well, that’s how it’ll feel when you join one of our local Lisbon hosts to explore the city together and immerse yourself in its laid-back way of life.

Do you see yourself wandering along mosaic-tiled, purple jacaranda tree-lined avenues and grand squares, checking out some of the grand 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.

    Pedro was knowledgeable, flexible, and friendly. He set an itinerary that hit up all the spots I wanted to see and have a great introduction to Lisbon. Highly recommend

    We booked a 4 hour tour with Pedro. He led us through the City in a thoughtful, organized and visually spectacular route. Knowledgeable in the history, culture, and everyday life of the city, Pedro was an excellent guide. As a professional photographer and journalist, he offered a unique, fresh and delightful perspective of a city we were visiting for the first time, but will hope to revisit. Thank you Pedro!!!

    Genta speaks excellent English and conveyed to us many interesting historical facts during our walking tour to attractions around Baixa. She has a wonderful and enjoyable personality. On one of our rest stops we had the famous Pasel da Tata, hot out of the oven!. Genta also gave us suggestions for things to do on our own and a great restaurant recommendation too. Genta's tour far exceeded our expectations.

    I hired a tour guide through Cityunscripted.com. Her name was Genta and she turned out to be the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Besides tailoring our tour to my handicapped needs Genta was super patient, very friendly , intelligent and sweet too. We had so much fun getting to know her that we invited Genta to visit us in our home city offering her a place to stay. She has a PhD in art therapy, has lived in Lisbon since she was 15 (now 32) and has a genuine passion for learning and being a super focused teacher. Her love of meeting new people and sharing herself is beyond compare. Her company, cityunscripted , has a real gem in Genta. I felt like she was my own daughter and loved her so much. A great walking tour!
