Hello. My name is Marisa and I am a tour guide in the ancient, mysterious and beautiful city of Lisbon. Lisbon is an ancient city and Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims, Catholics passed through this city all left their mark in heritage, words and food. Lisbon was also a city of spies. Even the real James Bond ( yes, it was a real James Bond) lived here and worked here. So, if you want to join me in this journey, I offer you, in Lisbon, 2 tours: a tour to discover the old town of Lisbon and a spy tour, focusing on world war II. But if you want to experience a magical place, I'll take you to Pena Palace. Pena Palace is a must-see, in the beautiful, romantic and world heritage, Sintra Village. And in the end, before you leave Portugal, I promise you will understand the true meaning of the Portuguese word Saudade. See you soon. Goodbye or Adeus!

Hello! Welcome to the most beautiful city in the world: Lisbon. I was born and raised in here and I cannot see myself living in any other city. I have a Bachelor Degree in Tourism and was licensed National Tourist Guide in 1998. I finished a Degree in History in 2013 and in 2021 my Master in History and Philosophy of Science. I have been working as a tourist guide with german, english and portuguese speaking groups in roundtrips/circuits within the country. I have experience in hiking tours, cultural tours and guided tours of monuments and museums throughout the whole national territory. I manage the projects Passeios Literários and Lisbon by the Book — both specialized in literary guided tours of Lisbon, and work as a guide for both projects as well. I’m the co-creator and responsible for the development of guided tours through the cultural heritage of the city of Lisbon for the project História LX — History, Heritage and Culture of Lisbon. I’m also the co-creator and responsible for the project Guide in Lisbon — specialized Tours. I have special interests in History, History of Science and Medicine and the History of Mentalities.

I have been living abroad and travelling extensively. When i came back to Portugal, wanted to build a unique experience for visitors looking to learn more about our amazing country. Not only history, but rather learning about life, culture and seeing Portugal through the eyes of a local. We will not talk about monuments only, we will discuss day-to-day life, culture, food, economy, politics, education... You choose, as the interaction will make the difference, and your tour will be unique to you

Hi, I have a passion for showing my country, I have worked over 18 years in the telecom corporate business, all around the world. But one day, six years ago I decide to move on.

We are mindful of the changes the tourism boom has brought to Lisbon in recent years, which is why we support the art of hospitality without neglecting our genuine Lisboan identity and this is what we will share with you. We like detours and how they keep surprising us. We might stop for 20 minutes to see the sunset or take a walk and go have a ginginha at that special place. We don’t want your trip to Lisbon to taste like a frozen meal. What we serve here is homemade and freshly prepared.

There are lucky ones who were born and grew up in Portugal, and there are those who chose this amazing country later as their home. I still consider myself lucky to be the latter one. I'm sure there are a lot of things that I see differently from a deep-rooted local, just as there are certain things that I notice and appreciate so that I can tell you about cultural differences and show you those little things that local people could take for granted but are indeed a valuable part of their lives. I have been working as a tour guide and guidebook writer for more than 15 years. I have always had a passion to explore cities and landscapes and then show the most interesting parts of the world to others.

Portugal
Hi I'm Alexandra. More than 20 years ago I came back to Lisbon after living all my childhood in Switzerland. Contacting other cultures, learning different languages, and traveling abroad made me realize that I wanted to become a full-time explorer. Living in this beautiful country and region made that wish easily come true. Deep knowledge about my city, our history, costumes and culture is mandatory to be a great host, local expert or guide. And I am one. In fact I'm all in one. Guide by profession, local expert by passion and host by empathy. In 2013 I dedicated myself 100% to this calling and still take every traveler with me like if it was family or friends visiting.

Son of Portuguese immigrants, I was born in the former West Germany. At the age of 12, I returned to Portugal, taking up residence in Almada, the riverside city that Lisbon serves as a backdrop on the other bank of the Tagus. I attended the Architecture course at the University of Lisbon but decided to change the direction of my life by dedicating myself with my heart and soul to graphic design. In 2013, I embarked on a guiding project with my family, acting as Tour Manager and Driver Guide. For the last 10 years, I have specialized in guided tours of the Sanctuary of Fátima and the Village of the Three Shepherds. Additionally, I have developed a passion for street art and have become an expert guide in this vibrant and dynamic field, offering unique insights into Lisbon's urban art scene. Fluent in Portuguese, English, and German, I strive to provide enriching and memorable experiences for all my clients, combining my deep knowledge of Portugal's heritage and contemporary culture with a personalized and friendly approach.

“EXCELLENT!!!”
Marta is exceptional! She is super kind, attentive to detail, thoughtful, compassionate, welcoming, and brings our world together, through bringing people together and making us all feel like family. I cannot recommend her more highly! Marta went above and beyond, and is one of the best Guides I/we have ever met!!! She was incredibly thorough, even following up with recipes, links to the pastry shops, bookstores, music, artwork, culture, history, museums, famous Portugese people, cork trees, and much more after the tour. She is so very exceptional and in a category all her own. She is truly an Ambassador of Portugal and it is a gift to see the country through her eyes and feel her beautiful welcoming heart.

“Lisbon City Tour”
Had an excellent day touring around Lisbon with Marisa. She had great communications leading up to the tour and was a wealth of knowledge in the local history. She showed us many hidden gyms in the city as well as all the larger must see sights.
