Fenicians, Romans, Muslims, Christians, Jews, all those passes through Lisbon, changed the city and left their marks: the alphabet, the numbers, the architecture, the tiles, the poetry, the wine and the pastry. Come and join in a walking tour through Alfama, the neighbourhood where Fado was born. A magnificent opportunity to discover Lisbon in the perspective of a local guide. The tour will end in the restaurant Fama de Alfama, with a concert by Joana Amendoeira, Júlio Resende, among others.

About Tour Guide Marisa F.
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!

“Incredible Tour and Guide”
We only had three days in Lisbon and hoped to get a good sense of the city and area. This tour with Marisa was a spectacular look and lesson about Portugal, Lisbon and Sintra. Her knowledge of the area was amazing and, even better, she put things in cultural context. Marisa is a great guide and you see and learn a lot on the drive to Sintra. Peña Palace is an amazing palace and she breathes life into it as she shares its history. The Palace and grounds afford amazing views. Just to note there are a lot of stairs and steps so a tour of the palace is not appropriate for those with mobility challenges. Sintra, itself, is beautiful and absolutely charming. We are so glad we did this tour with Marisa and were left with an appreciation of Lisbon and desire to return again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an educational tour.

“I had magnificent moments.”
Being with Marisa on the beautiful streets that went up, then down, and were full of history, is truly a blessing. The entire history of this wonderful city was unfolded to me through warm and lively words, as I walked alongside this soul who seemed to live through HISTORY. It was as if I lived today, the times long gone, thanks to Marisa's talent and knowledge. I highly recommend Marisa if you want to feel like you met the ancestors of those places and the events that took place here. Thank you once again.

I highly recommend Marisa and this tour!

Walking Tour in old Lisbon

Sintra. the most romantic place on earth
As described by Lord Byron "Even on earth, Sintra is the most romantic place in Portugal or maybe in the world. With this beautiful historical centre, Sintra has many palaces but the most impressive is Pena Palace, a romantic palace at the top of the mountain. We start our guided tour in Lisbon, pick up the car and in 40 minutes Will arrive. After a walk in the centre we will visit Pena Palace, After lunch, we move to Cascais, a privileged place chosen by royal families to live.
