    We had a great 2.5 hour walking tour Lisbon with Eduardo. He covered all the historical points and provided detailed information. One of the best tours my family has been on. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for a great time

    Absolutely AMAZING time on this tour!!! Super worth your time if you are a fan of walking around a city you just arrived in for a few hours, dress comfortably, bring a beer and water/snacks, sun glasses, hat, camera, backup battery for phone, etc. We arrived in Lisbon downtown area and were immediately greeted by very friendly staff promoting this “free walking tour”, we were immediately interested because that is what we wanted to do on our first impression of Lisbon; walk around! So we checked into our hotel, and came back to the walking tour scheduled time, and were greeted by the most wonderful tour guide we have ever experienced on any vacation!! Our friendly guide for this tour company Guilherme was VERY knowledgeable along our entire tour which started with immediate facts about the local sights that were directly surrounding the meeting spot for the tour — we were so excited to begin learning right away! Once the walk began, Guilherme made frequent stops to teach us about the architecture, the history, along with fun facts on entirely everything we saw! One of the stops on this tour was this little old lady selling alcoholic shots of this delicious local liqueur in chocolate shot glasses! They were delicious and also educational! I loved the size of the group that showed up, we were able to easily interact as a collective, helping us all learn. Guilherme was very easy to learn from because he made sure to speak loudly, he made everyone feel included, and he really knew his material! He had a clear passion for the city and genuinely wanted us to enjoy it! I really liked the fun “pop quiz” style questions along the tour as well! After the walking tour ended, and after I had a few traveller beers to stay hydrated on the walk, I was starving for a nice meal! We all stopped with our guide for a delicious meal at a wonderful restaurant, the seafood was amazing and the beers were cold! A great opportunity to try local Portuguese food! I even bought my guide a beer because the walk was so fun! Now keep in mind, this is a “free walking tour” meaning it is not obligatory to pay a fixed price if you truly can’t for some reason. But you should definitely tip generously, or whatever you can, to the tour guide that takes you. They do this out of the clearly visible joy they have for teaching, the city they adore, and their additional love for walking. This made the tour honestly much better because I was much happier to tip an amazing tour guide who taught us with passion, rather than other tours sometimes where they seem to not care. Buy this tour guide a beer! Our group also ended up making friends with each other because there was so much opportunity to mingle with each other when we took breaks at several sights along the walk! Highly recommend :)

    This tour was informative, fun and unique to the city of Lisbon! Our guide, Jade, was very vibrant and enthusiastic. He had a lot of knowledge about the city and many fun facts which is what walking tours are all about. Would really recommend doing this tour towards the start of your visit to Lisbon to get a good lay of the land and start your trip off on a good note. Thanks Jade!

    I did the Alfama tour with Jade. Probably the best tour guide I have ever met. He is very knowledgeable about the city, he is a fun and comedic guy! Jade had a few surprises for us, which was also very nice and fun! Thank you so much for showing us around in Lisbon :-)

    I did the morning tour with Jade. The tour was the best I have had so far in Europe- informative, engaging and funny. This also included lots of surprise treats along the way and ended with a lovely lunch. I would definitely recommend Jade and his knowledgable tour.

    Eduardo was phenomenally knowledgeable and had amazing depth, his PhD in cultural anthropology really comes through on the tours. The detail, the nuances, the music and depth of culture were like nothing I have ever experienced in a tour. The best I’ve had the pleasure to experience in all my travels !!!!!

    Had a great walking tour with Eduardo. I spoke to others who had a walking tour and I am so happy I went on the one I did! He knew so much about the area and could answer every question. Eduardo took us out to lunch after where I could try typical Portuguese cuisine. Thanks for a great tour!

    Five out of five star tour guide! Very funny and knows his Portuguese history. Even with the scorching sun blazing upon us, Jade transcended us through times. Jade was also very kind to make excellent recommendations as a local. May he one day be in archeological ruins discovering new history!

    What a simply fantastic tour we had from Guilherme today. We met him at Rossio Sq and went down lovely back streets to the castle and down to the cathedral. A nice gentle pace , he pointed out things of interest and provided excellent background and history. Guilherme was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything and really made our holiday special. He also took us later on to a great place for lunch. An excellent , insightful tour of Lisbons secret places , thank you Guilherme ! 5 stars!

    I had the most incredible experience exploring Lisbon with our tour guide, Ricardo! From start to finish, this tour exceeded all expectations. Ricardo's deep knowledge of the city's history and culture was truly impressive, and he shared it with enthusiasm and passion. He took us to hidden gems and iconic landmarks, making sure we got a well-rounded view of Lisbon. What stood out the most was his warm and welcoming personality, which made the tour not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable. Ricardo's recommendations for local cuisine were spot on, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide to introduce me to this beautiful city. I highly recommend Ricardo's tours to anyone visiting Lisbon – you won't be disappointed!

    Vivian was our tour guide and we loved her. She was so informative, clear and made it a super enjoyable experience. We definitely really recommend her and she did a great job. The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because it was advertised as a free tour to us - you choose how much you pay but the marketing just didn’t make that clear so definitely be aware!
