Lisbon for absolute beginners
Joined 2022
First time in Lisbon? This is the perfect way to get to know the major attractions of the city: Baixa, Chiado, Bairro Alto and Alfama
Lisbon can be a challenge with so many hills and steep streets. We believe every effort in this tour is worthwhile and the views we will enjoy from two of the most iconic hills are breathtaking.

“Wonderful personalized tour”
Leonor did a custom tour for our family of 4 for 6hours. She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She is also a talented linguist - most of her tours are actually German yet her English is absolutely impeccable. Overall, we had tremendous fun exploring Lisbon with her and would recommend her to anyone.
