Lisbon Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

Most people spend an average of 4 nights in Lisbon, and since there is so much to see, we'd recommend a five-day tour that dives into the layers of Portugal's capital. 

With that said, it comes down to what you're looking for whether that’s leisure, adventure, nature, or food. Our day tours work best for those who want to pack in as much of the city’s history, culture and cuisine while on a limited schedule.

March to May is often considered the best time to visit Lisbon as the weather is warm and enjoyable with average highs of 72.5°F (22.5°C). Looking for a less crowded trip? Try Lisbon from September to October. The weather is still pleasant, but the "summer rush" crowds have thinned out.

Yes, it is! In fact, Lisbon is one of the top 5 most walkable cities in Europe, thanks to its rolling hills, cobblestone streets, and close-knit buildings. The small design and closeness of monuments and venues of interest like the Belem Tower, Jeronimos Monastery, and the Alfama District make it ideal for our walking tours.

There are several ideal locations for group tours throughout the capital as GoWtihGuide tours focus on smaller, intimate group settings, making for a flexible trip. A food tour through the Mercado de Campo de Ourique or a day trip through Lisbon's northern and eastern regions provides fantastic opportunities to enjoy wine and food tasting amongst friends. The north is also ideal for a spacious group bike ride. 

Cascais, the Time Out Market, and the Lisbon Oceanarium are ideal group venues. 

Lisbon is a city for lovers, and places like the Jardim Botânico de Ajuda offer serenity, romantic scenery, and lush greenery. If you're looking for a waterfront experience, try bike riding, or walking along the Tagus river near the Parque das Nações.
