Private Lisbon Walking Tours and Day Trips to Sintra with Expert Local Guides


When you think of Lisbon, you imagine yellow trams climbing the hilly terrain. Traditional Fado music carries through the air as locals dance on a Friday evening – merriment spills out into the cobblestone streets – and the delicate aroma of fresh Pastel de Nata wafts on the breeze. 

Begin your Lisbon trip with our exciting 3-hour Sites & Insights Welcome Tour, guided by local experts. You will dive into the bohemian spirit, rich history, and artistic vibes of Lisbon's prime districts: Bairro Alto, Chiado, and Baixa.

Next, you could wake up early to enjoy a day trip to Sintra, which has many extravagant villas and fairytale-esque castles.

This tour was the prefect way to start our trip in Lisbon. Bert was a great guide. He was so knowledgeable about Lisbon and was so helpful with answering all our questions. He showed us Lisbon in a way that we would never have been able to do on our own. We left the tour understanding so much more about the city and having a new found appreciation for Lisbon and Portugal. I would highly recommend this tour and Bert! It was so worth it.
Jose was amazing, he brought Lisbon history to life. Showed us so many hidden gems. Delightful!
It was an informative and fun tour, Bert. Thank you for giving historical context to what we can see in Lisbon today. I enjoyed it start to finish and would recommend your tour to others. The perfect way to start out my time in Lisbon!
