10 out of 10 - My family and I had the pleasure of touring Lisbon with Jorge. He was a wealth of knowledge, extremely patient (we had our 6 year old son with us) and just overall a very personable guide. We walked all over the city stopping at two locations for a pasty and ice cream. It was an overall 10 out of 10 day and if visiting Lisbon again I would seek Jorge for another tour.

Family with kids in Lisbon - Luis was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, patient and flexible. He knew the city in and out and took us to places we would have never seen on our own . I would highly recommend a tour with him.

Great tour with friendly and knowledgeable guide. - Francisco took us on a tour through the “center” of Lisbon. He showed us the Commerce square, Alfama and Mouraria. Fransisco is very knowledgeable and friendly. We were impressed with his story telling skills and we learned about the history of Lisbon as well. We also got some tips on where to go and where to eat during the rest of our stay in Lisbon. We had a fantastic afternoon!

Wonderful local perspective on Lisbon - Lucia was excellent as a guide! We felt like we got an insider’s perspective of Lisbon, along with some interesting history and an overview of several neighborhoods. She also shared her favorite local places for the best Pastéis de nata and bifanas. Highly recommend!

A very informative tour with a genuinely lovely person - We had a very informative tour with Lucia on our first morning in Lisbon. She met us promptly at the agreed time and - despite my kids (12 & 9) being a bit tired after the previous day's travelling - she immediately engaged them and ensured that the tour catered to their needs as well as those of the adults. My kids asked plenty of questions and Lucia took her time to answer them genuinely. In the course of 3 hours, Lucia walked us through Lisbon which helped us get our bearings for the rest of the week. She took us to the most incredible chapel, a couple of great viewings points, we tried the custard tarts, loved the ginjinha and walked through some of the Alfama district. Lucia has plenty of good tips, advice and contacts which helped us make the most of our trip.

Francisco was great!! - Francisco was incredibly patient with our family and accommodated us keeping the tour simple and fun. We have 3 and 5 year boys so we wanted to play in a local playground and ride the historical tram and he helped make that happen. He had purchased the tram tickets in advance we do didnt have to wait in any lines with the children. He also was super helpful with all of my questions regarding other travel in Portugal and locally.

Fantastic tour of amazingly beautiful Lisbon! - We had a fantastic experience getting to know the amazingly beautiful city of Lisbon with Jorge. I have to give Jorge all sorts of props. We were not an easy task ONLY because we were supremely jet lagged after having flown all night and no rest. However, Jorge was so understanding, so patient, so engaging and so thorough. We cannot imagine having maximized our time with Jorge any better! As a tour guide, Jorge is everything you hope for. It is clear that Jorge is a very well educated person, sophisticated, yet down to earth. It is also clear that Jorge loves his city and loves showing it off. His passion is genuine, and it comes across as extremely refreshing and endearing quality. We fell in love with Lisbon, and while the city's beauty and history is undeniable, Jorge played a HUGE part in the wonderful memories that we hold of this amazing place. He made us realize that we need to come back, and guess what- we will be booking him again when we come back and will not be jet-lagged for him again ;) So go ahead, press that button and look no further. Book Jorge, he is the best! Obrigada, Jorge! A sua cidade e um sonho!

Best guided tour of Lisbon - Angelo is a stellar guide. He is passionate, knowledgeable and took time and care to ensure that we learned about many of Lisbon's hidden gems. He also gave us some recommendations for the rest of our trip. We could not have asked for a better guide for me and my family! Highly recommended.

Awesome Lisbon tour with Angelo - We were lucky in getting Angelo to be our private tour guide this August 2023. We booked last minute and he just happened to be available at the time that worked out for us. Even with short notice, he was able to adapt the tour for our family of 5 (with three boys between 6 and 14). It is obvious that Angelo is passionate and knowledgeable about Lisbon and it's history, and is also genuinely interested in interacting with people from other cultures. We appreciated how he made sure to engage our boys by incorporating stories and trivia along the way. He went above and beyond by giving us recommendations on where to eat, visit and how to navigate for the rest of our stay. He was even gracious to provide recommendations for our next stop in Porto. Angelo's knowledge and passion for food was also a bonus for our "foodie" family and he was able to direct us to more authentic establishments vs. the "tourist traps". We definitely recommend him for anyone that is interested in learning about Lisbon's story in a unique way. For those that are "foodies", he also does a food tour that you may be interested in...(next time for us). Thanks Angelo!
