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!

Walking Tour in old Lisbon
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 neighborhood where Fado was born, the Cathedral, where the old mosque is buried, and the Jewish quarter. We finished with a coffee and a custard tart or a ginginha, who knows? It will be unforgettable, I promise you.

Évora, The Renaissance city.
Évora was the preferred city for conquers and Kings. From a celtic place to a vibrant roman city, to a glorious Muslim period, conquered by Geraldo, the fearless cristian. In this tour we will visit praça do Geraldo, the cathedral, the Roman temple, “bones” chapel and the University of Evora. We will end this tour outside Evora, in a cromeleque, a pre-historical site.

“Lisbon City Tour”
Had an excellent day touring around Lisbon with Marisa. She had great communications leading up to the tour and was a wealth of knowledge in the local history. She showed us many hidden gyms in the city as well as all the larger must see sights.
