What you'll do

Get your first snapshot of the city as you join one of our local Lisbon hosts to orientate yourself, discover the best ways to get around, as well as a recommendation or ten about where you could visit (and when, and how, and most importantly: “Is there food there?”).

Learn how to navigate Lisbon city and its surroundings by foot, metro, or vintage tram, get nifty tips and tricks to experience the city like a local, and ask any or all of the 101 questions you may have about the area.

Along the way, you could find yourself strolling down grand avenues lined with purple jacaranda trees or exploring a warren of small streets in a 1000-year-old neighborhood. We reckon both sound pretty cool.

You’ll spot famous sights like the São Jorge Castle and Praça do Comércio, stop to pick up some pastries or sip some sangria on a terrace - the point is, you’ll feel at home in no time at all with your host showing you the ropes.

Reviews

    Anne was absolutely great in showing us the city and its hidden gems and in taking us around in the charming streets of Lisbon. She perfectly managed to adapt the 3-hours tour to our interests and requests. She immediately made us love the city and its traditions. She is a young but extremely knowledgeable local who knows almost everything about the city and its history. Anne is very friendly and open too. We found in her a friend and we kept staying together even after the tour, tasting ‘vinho verde’ in an unknown but typical place in Alfama.

    Genta was lovely and knowledgeable and very entertaining as she guided us through the streets of Lisbon. She showed us places we would have found difficult to get to on our own. We ended off our tour with a warm custard pastry at a wonderful bakery. We would love to book with we again. Marlene

    We had a really enjoyable afternoon with Gabriele. She showed us some fascinating parts of Lisbon and gave us some great tips for where to eat and what to see for the rest of our trip.

    I had very limited time as I was on a business trip, and I don't like big tour groups so I decided for a 3-hour-private tour. AnnElisa was a fantastic local guide and showed me lots of places that a tourist would probably miss out on. She was also very attentive to my wishes and requests and was very knowledgeable about Lisbon and its history, but also its current hotspots and nightlife. It basically felt like walking through the city with a friend. Highly recommended!
