A wonderful afternoon! - Filipa was a delight. She was professional, and knowledgeable about Lisbon and its history. She told us about current events which was a great way to balance history with Lisbon today. The tour provided an opportunity to see many neighborhoods and get a good feel for the city on our first afternoon. She provided a dinner recommendation that was wonderful. She was so friendly and accommodating. I would book with her again and highly recommend her to others.

Excellent local guide with many insights - I booked my tours with Filipa a number of months in advance of our trip. We did a walking tour of Lisbon and then another that was in Belem. Filipa was responsive and gracious in answering questions and stayed in touch prior to our trip. On the day of our first tour, she met us on time at the designated spot. It turned out that our tour coincided with a large roadrace but she was able to work around it. We saw numerous spots that we would have otherwise missed and stopped for a local pastry. Filipa provided a lot of insights and historical background information. For our second tour, she met us at our hotel and coordinated a cab to get us to Belem. Once there, she again gave a lot of local perspective and insights. Our objective on this trip was to get a closer feel for Lisbon than just seeing tourist point. Filipa was an excellent resource for that and I highly recommend her.

Tailor made tour with well chosen spots - I really enjoyed my tour with Filipa, as she made it a unique experience. Her way of showing you around was excellent and it was obvious that she know everything and every little corner in Lisboa by heart. Further she was really adapting to my “wants and needs”, which made it a tailor made tour for me. The parts of the city which got shown have been carefully chosen and have shown me a lot of this beautiful city! Thanks!

Awesome Tour - Filipa was great! It’s our first time in Lisbon and we opted to book this private tour. Filipa was very knowledgeable about Lisbon’s history. She’s very nice and personable. We enjoyed this tour because it was pretty special, Filipa showed us many great places others wouldn’t even know of. All the hidden places, the most beautiful views of Lisbon. Thank you for accommodating us and we would highly recommend to others to book with Filipa, she won’t disappoint.
