Amazingly knowledgeable guide about Lisbon and its people. - We booked this trip as part of a Mediterranean trip with Cunard. Miguel was super welcoming and completely understood and catered for the needs of all the different folk in our group. His English is excellent, as is his knowledge of Lisbon. I have been taking photos for more than 50 years and found his approach and ability to take you to some incredible spots superb. I totally and unreservedly recommend him to anyone who wants to see Lisbon and understand it.

Great photographic guidance - I was one of six passengers off P&O Acadia to go on Miguel's 4-hour walking tour of Lisbon Photography. 2 SLRs, and 4 mobiles. Not only did Miguel have a friendly presence but his history knowledge of Portugal was excellent. He guided us to view points and other shooting alternatives and assisted in processing the images to bring out stunning results. Thank you, Miguel, for a most enjoyable and informative morning.

Great tour with Lisbon Photo - We booked a private photo tour of Sintra with Miguel of Lisbon Photo. What a great day it was. We went on a morning walk through old town Sintra, then up to Peña Palace, then a lovely lunch break at a local Portuguese restaurant, and finally a trip up to Monserrate. Miguel knew how to beat the crowds to get great shots. He also worked around a very rainy day and showed us how to use the puddles and wet ground to our advantage. Our group consisted of two novice photographers and two experienced ones and he managed to make it an enjoyable day for everyone. We even got some amazing shots with our cell phones. Everyone learned some new techniques. If we come back to Portugal, we will definitely take another tour with Lisbon Photo.

Highlight of our trip! - I took this photography tour with my mom and aunts while visiting Portugal, and we all had such an amazing time! Lisbon is such a beautiful city, and seeing it through Miguel's creative eye was so interesting. It was also a great photography refresher for most of us. It was a highlight of our trip. We took so many great photos!

Highly recommended especially if you enjoy taking photographs. - We were met off the cruise ship and enjoyed a four hour walk through Lisbon old town with Miguel. Got to see some hidden corners of Alfama at the same time being given welcome advice on taking photographs. Could be a tough walk uphill for some clients in hot weather but the old town has plenty of areas of shade (and also a lot of cobbled steps). Learnt a lot about historical Lisbon from Miguel and would thoroughly recommend.

A different view of Lisbon and Alfama area - I have booked the morning private tour and Miguel has showed me the Alfama area with beautiful views of the city with interesting explanations too. We have made nice pics of the views but also of the narrow streets of this typical area. Less touristic and less crowded streets to avoid lots of people visiting the city in those days. He has also suggested a good typical restaurant for the night.

Excellent photography tours by Lisbon Photo - I booked several private tours with Miguel during my four-day stay in Lisbon. 1. Afternoon city tour. 2. Lisbon night tour. 3. Oriente night tour. 4. Sintra day tour. For the afternoon tour, we met at Rossio Square and I immediately noticed Miguel's friendly and easygoing demeanor and knew I would feel comfortable with him as my guide. Throughout the afternoon, we would visit many places and landmarks in the historical center. At each spot, Miguel would provided some background information and suggestions on composition. From there, he lets me interpret the scene and create an image. It was easy to discern how I did. He would give you very positive and enthusiastic feedback if the picture looked good or provide the necessary suggestions and guidance to help you improve. Overall, I found Miguel to be an excellent photography coach and teacher. I highly recommend the Oriente photography tour at night. It allows you to explore an entirely modern side of Lisbon which contrasts nicely with the classical areas of the city. I was particularly intrigued by the architecture in the area and all the creative possibilities it offers. The experience is magical at night. And with Miguel's highly capable tripod and L-bracket attachment, night shots were effortless and it was very easy to mount and dismount the camera. The visit to Sintra was also memorable and I credit my positive experiences to Miguel's excellent planning, timing and precision. Our early start meant we arrived there before the old town became crowded and busy. The empty streets made it easy for trying different compositions and creating a variety of images. At Pena Palace, Miguel's guidance and encouragement provided me the necessary advice for navigating a crowded visit to one of the most iconic places in the country. Afterwards, we had lunch at a popular local cafe before stopping at the Montserrate Palace to photograph its amazing grounds and interiors. The totality of experiences provided by Lisbon Photo Lisbon served as inspiration for the remainder of my trip through Portugal, sailing on the Douro and on to Madrid. Most importantly, I came home satisfied about my ongoing photographic journey and have a collection of meaningful and creative images to enjoy.
