Under the Arch of Rua Augusta

We will be waiting for you under the Rua Augusta Arch, or in case you are staying in Lisbon´s old-town, we might be able to meet you at your Hotel or AirBnB.

Baixa Pombalina

The downtown of Lisbon, called “Baixa Pombalina” area is the heart of Lisbon and was completely rebuilt after the devastating 1755 earthquake. Covering an area of about 255 hectares, it contains magnificent squares, which are interconnected by straight avenues filled with grand 18th century architecture.

Olissippo, the Roman Lisbon

Explore the Roman Theatre that was built in the first century, in the time of the Roman emperor Augustus. It was rebuilt in Emperor Nero´s time, and during the reign of Constantine it was partially dismantled.

Abandoned in the fourth century, it was only discovered 1798, after the 1755 earthquake, while Lisbon was being rebuild.

Saint Jorge Castle

View the S. Jorge Castle, located in the old medieval citadel, that was inhabited by the Moors who fortified it for their defence. When D. Afonso Henriques (Portugal´s founding King), took the castle in 1147, after besieging it for 3 months, expelled the Muslims and opened the castle doors to Christianity.

Miradouro Santa Luzia

Take in the amazing Saint Luzia Viewpoint. It has one of the most beautiful views over Alfama and the Tagus River, having on its south wall two tile panels, one from the Commerce Square before the earthquake and one with Christians conquering the São Jorge Castle.

Alfama Neighberhoud

Walk up (and down) Alfama, the oldest and one of the most typical neighborhoods of Lisbon. Its name derives from the Moorish Al-Hamma, meaning baths or fountains.

Lisbon´s Sé Cathedral

The oldest church of Lisbon began its construction in the second half of the twelfth century, after the conquest of the city from the Moors by D. Afonso Henriques. Then construction of the cathedral was apparently done in the place of the old mosque of Lisbon.

Bairro Alto

"Climb" to this part of the city to get an idea of what you are able to do in Lisbon for the rest of your stay.

Santa Justa Lift

From the top of this neo-Gothic structure (built 1902) you can have another view over Lisbon and the Rossio Square.

The engineer Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard was responsible for the design, contrary to the popular belief that there is a connection to Gustave Eiffel.

It is well known that Ponsard applied to this lift some of the techniques and materials already used in France.

Rossio Square

Discover the "darker" part of this square in Lisbon´s history...

Miradouro São Pedro de Alcantara

From here, you have one of the nicest views over Lisbon and specially to the S. Jorge Castle.

Here is also the point where the tour ends.

About Tour Guide Joao D.

Being an off-road driver for over 30 years, I know Portugal inside out, literally “off the beaten track”. Making friends along the way and getting to know their culture and history, led me to organize tours and trips.

Me and my team of guides know all corners of Portugal.

Our team members include me (John), Rodrigo, Maia, Paulo and Ricardo. We all put our heart and soul into each experience. As a result, taking travellers beyond the destination, away from the usual touristic hustle.

With this, we have been leading Private Tours in Portugal for over 10 years.

Reviews

Our tour today with Vasco & Pedro was very enjoyable, very informative Pedro our drive was very efficient, the whole tour was exactly what I had expected, highly recommend the company.

Ausgezeichnete Tour mit einem deutschsprachigen F?hrer

Joao took us on a 5 hours walking tour in Lisboa. He had a very good knowledge of history and Lisboa and explained us everything. The tour was in German abd he spoke this language fluently. I can recomend Joao for all visitors, exspecially if you want a german speaking guide

Sintra plus

Our guide for the day, Paulo, could not have been more friendly or interesting. He covered all manner of topics, historic and current, and added immensely to our sense of being special guests in his beloved country. We happily encourage others to work with this guide and organization. Ann & Bryan, California USA
