Don't miss this tour! - Claudia was a great tour guide! If we didn't have a tour guide, we would just walk those streets without knowing all the stories that are in this bricks, pavements and houses. Thanks a lot!

Genial Diego - We are a couple from Barcelona.We have done the tour with Diego and everything we can say is positive.The knowledge of the city, its people, its history and more coming from a Spanish Portuguese or Portuguese Spanish, but that is the least.We will keep a pleasant memory and its LINKS, which thanks to them we have known more deeply the city.We will save those LINKS for next time and to share with friends THANKS TO DIEGO.Ahhhhh and Mariana

Alfama walking tour with Katrina (Take free tours) - Katrina from take free tours was exceptional. We went for the Alfama tour with her, she had amazing story telling skills, was professional, detailed and considerate to ensure all members of the group were made to feel comfortable. The tour was entertaining, vibrant and insightful, Katrina shared a number of stories related to the Portugal, Lisbon and Alfama in a fun manner making sure that there was not even a single dull moment during the near 2 and some hours of the tour. She was fluent in English and her accent was easy to understand. Strongly recommend Katrina and the alfama tour if you are interested in the history and culture of the most famous area of Lisbon. Katrina also shared a list of recommendations for all the hidden treasures of Lisbon including some fantastic restaurants, viewing spots and things to do. Thank you Katrina for the wonderful experience, one of the highlights of our trip to Lisbon.

Great tour of Alfama - Our tour guide Cláudia was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, engaging, humorous and very attentive to the needs of our group. The pace of the tour was excellent with stops in shady areas for discussion of the sites and opportunities to take pictures or use restrooms along the way. It was a wonderful way to learn about the history and current life of Alfama. Overall, a great tour!
