Great queer and Lisbon tour - Amazing tour! We received so much information and were brought to very wonderful restaurants that were queer/BIPOC owned. Can’t give enough stars to our tour guide, she gave us so much context and background that we couldn’t have gotten elsewhere!

Don’t miss this one of a kind tour! - Paulá and Leonor run an excellent tour anyone interested in knowing some of the history and current political context of queer and trans communities, immigrant communities, and social justice/leftist movements in Portugal (and especially Lisbon) should definitely take. Their different lived experiences (Paulá as an immigrant from Brasil, Leonor as a Portuguese person) provide complementary perspectives, and they are both clearly connected to queer and social justice grassroots communities here. They take their time with questions, recommend other sites and activities, and end the tour at a wonderful Black queer Brazilian-owned restaurant (which costs extra and is absolutely worth it). A must-do when you are in Lisbon!

Can’t wait to go back- the best Lisbon tour with the best people - This tour was the MOST FUN! Paula and Lenor were so incredibly accommodating because I was really excited to go on their tour during my few days in Lisbon and they worked so hard and went out of their way to make it work for me! I had the best night with them on the tour learning all about true queer history in Portugal, trying incredible Brazilian cuisines, and meeting new people. They also had recommended several places for me to try while I was in Lisbon and I have to say 10/10 for all of their recommendations. This is the real tour of Lisbon, I highly highly recommend.

Spectacular! - This queer history tour was everything I dreamed of and more! I attended with my aunt (not LGBTQ+) and both of us thoroughly enjoyed. Accessible in terms of pace, stopping for bathrooms and snacks as needed based on the group. There was only one major uphill walk and we were able to use an escalator and funicular for most of it. I learned so much about Portugal and Lisbon history at large beyond the queer history of this place. The tour leaders take an intersectional approach to talking about queer life; discussing race, colonization, religion, queer heroes and queer villains. We ended with a delicious and energetically warm meal and drink and gabbed the night away. Can’t wait to rec to all my friends and return for their other tour! Thank you so much!

Amazing tour from wonderful guides - This tour was my favorite part of visiting Lisbon! Paula and Julie were extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and fun, and it was an amazing way to explore Lisbon with a totally different lens than your standard tour and learn about important history that’s often overlooked. I saw a part of the city I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was also wonderful to meet other queer community in a new city. I ’m definitely recommending this tour to my friends who visit Lisbon! Thank you for a great evening!

Great experience learning about queer Lisbon history. - My partner and I enjoyed getting to learn about history of Lisbon through a Queer lens. It was interesting to think about the impacts of colonialism and its lasting implications for the queer community. A unique experience and it was nice to support local queer artists and businesses.

A must do tour! - A fantastic tour! We learned about Lisbon LGBT history from an intersectional perspective, while visiting a few restaurants and bars, enjoying delicious snacks and drinks. It was nice to meet other queer people from around the world and share histories too. The guide Eleonor was amazing. Fun, approachable, knowledgeable. We loved her. A must do tour!

Passionate guide and an informative walking tour - the queer night walking tour was an absolute delight! Led by the knowledgeable and personable guide, Leonor, the tour took us on a captivating journey through Lisbon’s under-discovered queer culture scene. Leonor’s passion for sharing queer narratives truly shone through. The tour wasn’t just about landmarks and history; it was about connecting with real experiences and promoting a change of mindset. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Lisbon’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community.

Do it as soon as you arrive in Lisbon - I loved this tour and the group we had! I suggest this tour at the beginning of your staying in Lisbon so you can go back to the same neighborhood, bars, clubs and maybe you end up having new friends for the rest of your Lisbon trip. When I’ll be back to Lisbon I will also join the Historical tour which I didn’t have time to take! 5 starts! :)
