    Ever so grateful to Alice & Alternative Lisbon for giving me a wonderful street art tour of Lisbon. It was the perfect way to explore the city through a locals eyes, with heaps of passion about Portuguese culture and a wealth of knowledge on the street art scene. I was able to discover parts of the city unknown to me, which I would then go onto visit many times after. I would recommend doing this tour whether you've just arrived in the city but also to those locals interested in the arts.

    I done a craft beer tour on my penultimate day in Lisbon, and was pretty much the perfect way to finish a nice break! Can't imagine how difficult it is to organise a craft beer tour with the current situation, but Alice had it all sorted from the go. Got to taste a wide variety of beers, different types and flavours....I'm not much of a beer guy but thought it was a nice way to try something different than the stuff you can get in pretty much any bar, as well as see a different part of Lisbon. Enjoyed it so much i bought some craft beers home with me, a first!! Felt more like I was having a couple of nice drinks with friends I had known for years, which is not an easy feeling to get on a tour........all credit to Alice for an unforgettable tour :)

    My partner and I did a street art tour with Alternative Lisbon and we loved it. It was a unique yet great way to get to know more of Lisbon. Alice is very knowledgeable and friendly, the tour is fun and covers a lot. I have learned loads about street art artists & techniques! We did the tour post-covid and had no issues whatsoever, it was all pretty safe with everyone wearing masks properly and social distancing. Would defo do a tour with Alternative Lisbon again!

    Alice is a great guide who knows so much about what is going on in Lisbon and it's neighborhood. She took us to see the famous artists, the unknown and the up and coming street artist. Our walk was adventurous and filled with anecdotes and Portuguese history. Alice's experience with performance art and the fact that she is also a street artist makes her the ideal person to guide us around Lisbon. I loved how she was up-to-date when a painter added their layer of art to another one's art work and she was aware of the new art popping up on different walls. My street art tour with Alice was fantastic and I highly recommend her!

    We visited Lisbon in an unconventional way. We discover hidden corners, hear stories and take beautiful photographs to take back as souvenirs! A great way to spend the day!

    The best way to get to know the less obvious and touristy Lisbon, I learned a lot about Portuguese and international artists, thanks Alice !!

    It has been a great experience, seeing the artistic side of the city was very interesting and recharged me with very good energy. The guide Alice is very nice, she has many interesting stories to tell. 100% RECOMMENDED.

    The street art tour with Alice gave me a local history of the city of Lisbon from an unusual angle but also integrated with the history of traditional Portugal. It was a delight to spend the afternoon with her and another North American couple, walking through the center of Lisbon, through streets, towns, corners, alleys and houses that I would never have walked past alone, looking at the paintings, stickers and drawings that color the streets. . I really appreciate Alice's willingness to tell me a little about her personal life story, give tips about the city that go far beyond what is expected from a guide and even offer me a refreshing ice cream during a break in the almost 7km that passed flying! I hope to return soon to hear more, perhaps on a running tour…

    Lisbon will not remain peculiar in memory if you do not get on a tour with Alice. Sights are in every European city, but there is rarely an opportunity to discover the life of the city in publicism, dreams and desires, reflected in graffiti; in his art of "memory", dedicated to ordinary people, whose images are captured on houses, creating a unique atmosphere of immortality that permeates the years; feel how the locals live and relax and see the fantastic panorama of the city from above. Alice showed me places that I myself would never have found, and the capital of Portugal will be remembered just like that - peculiar, unique and lively.

    A definite must do activity in Lisbon to go on the Street Art Tour. So so beautiful and informative!

  • 5/5 Michael M. 3 years ago on Google • 1 review
    We had a long and highly interesting walk, covering a large area, and our view on street art as in murals, graffiti, tagging was greatly changed during those hours. Alice told us about origins, techniques, tools, different paints, artists (individuals or groups), free performers or people working on a commission, gang symbols, international motifs - you name it! We still refer to what Alice told us as we walk down the street in our home city. But during the tour, we didn't just learn about street art, but about the city beyond the "Top Ten" sites. My wife and I still talk about the tour. One of the best things we have done while travelling.

    We had a brilliant street art tour with Alice today! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the many hidden gems in Lisbon. I have a totally enriched understanding of this city's streets now. Fully recommend for anyone wanting to get to know beyond the main tourist attractions!

    This is a great tour for whoever wants to know more about the street art scene and also about Lisbon, in a non-conventional way. Its a very complete and insighful walk around the hidden corners of Lisbon I would not find on my own. The guide is also super cool and passionate and helped me out with some extra tips on the night life and good places for food and drinks. This made my holiday! Thanks!

👍👍 I booked a 6-Hour personal tour for my second day in Lisbon. I was traveling alone and figured this would give me the most well rounded and organized perspective on the city - the best bang for the buck. I met Kleiber in the morning and immediately was impressed. This was no cookie-cutter tour exper...

👍👍 We got the family ticket for €70 for 48 hours. Then we took a tram ride followed by a bus one later down the day. After reading the reviews we prepared for the worst. But it was great, we loved the tram tour, with so many places to see. Audio worked as expected. Tram was just what you want, not too...
