1 day notice to Lisboa and Sintra and Mafra
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!
“Marisa and Sinatra ”
Marisa was a knowledgeable and delightful guide. We stopped at the Windmill for dinner on the way back. It was a beautiful sunset with delicious food. I definitely recommend Marisa as the prefect guide for Lisbon, etc.

“Wonderful Guide!”
I cannot imagine how we could have gone to Cabo Da Roca, Sintra and Pena Palace without Marisa. She was delightful, her English is excellent and we had a fabulous day. All places were crowded but she was able to maneuver us everywhere with minimal waiting. I highly recommend her!! Anne O'Connell

“Day in Lisbon”
We had a wonderful day with Marisa in Lisbon. She took us all over the city, showing us important and interesting sites. She is a former teacher and PhD candidate and knows a great deal about many subjects. In addition, she is charming and easy to be with. We had a memorable day with Marisa and highly recommend her to anyone who would like a walking tour of Lisbon.
