Leonor A.
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.

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.

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!

Alexandra M.
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.

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.

Pedro F.
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.

Lisbon Tour Reviews
Glen W.
“An Amazing Day in Lisbon with Paula!”
We spent a fantastic day exploring Lisbon with our guide, Paula, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure we saw all the major sights on our list—and even added in a few hidden gems we didn’t know we were missing! Navigating Lisbon’s steep hills and busy streets can be a challenge, but Paula’s deep knowledge of the city and its traffic patterns made everything smooth and stress-free. She knew exactly where to go, when to go, and how to get us in and out of spots efficiently. Her friendly, relaxed style combined with expert-level local insight really elevated the day. If you’re visiting Lisbon, do yourself a favor and book a day with Paula—you’ll see more, stress less, and come away with memories you’ll never forget.

“Day Tour: Defensive Lines of Torres Vedras ”
Henrique was an excellent guide and host for our day trip. He was knowlegeable and informative and we learned so much about the general history of Portugal in addition to the specific history of the lines of Torres Vedras and the Peninsular War. Henrique tailored the tour to meet the specific interests of my husband so that we visited Wellington's headquarters, making the day even better than we had anticipated, and a special birthday treat. We thoroughly recommend Henrique and his tours if you are visiting Portugal.
Henrique R.
Hello Carol and Bill Thank you very much for your kind and rewarding review on our tour " The Defensive Lines of Torres Vedras - Wellington vs Napoleon - the Peninsular War in Portugal". I was delighted to accompany you on this visit and I want you to know how stimulating and challenging it was for me to hear of your curiosity and interest in learning more and more about Portugal's history, particularly with regard to its links with England, which went far beyond the Peninsular War. As I think that Portugal still has much more to surprise you, particularly with regard to the Napoleonic wars and the presence of the Duke of Wellington, I hope that one of these days we can meet again. All the best to you, Caroll and Bill! Thank you very much! Henrique

“Lisbon by Night”
It was an excellent way to see the other side of Lisbon. When the sun goes down and the city lights are up, Lisbon takes on a different charm. And there was no better way to see it than with an excellent guide like Duarte. He took us to a Fado performance which turned out to be more fun than I expected. And then Duarte took us to walk and drive around town and see sights that we never would have discovered on our own. Thank you, Duarte! It was truly one unforgettable evening. Lisbon is lucky to have you!
Duarte P.
Dear Kate, More than your words, I want to thank you and your friends for the wonderful evening we spent together. Believe me, it was a great pleasure to have met you, and for me to have had the opportunity to show you a little of my city... now... Our city. I hope we meet again as soon as possible. Once again... Many thanks to all of you
