Context Travel Lisbon & Sintra Tours

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.

If you’re a Context traveler, you’ve just enjoyed the perfect experience of Lisbon in a Day, where your Expert perfectly executed every detail of the itinerary – tailored to suit your group’s interests, that you filled our team in on while booking.

Next, you could wake up early to enjoy a day trip to Sintra, which has many extravagant villas and fairytale-esque castles. The history of this unique region is brought to life by your local expert, who guides you through this charming village, which was once the summer retreat of Portuguese royalty.

We had a wonderful walking tour with Ze in Lisbon. His passion for the city, deep knowledge of its history, and engaging storytelling made our visit to Lisbon very special. Ze struck the perfect balance between informative and fun, weaving in local insights and hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who knows all its secrets. Highly recommend!
Pleasant and knowledgeable Raquel was a delight as we combined a long history of the National Palace with the beauty of the Biester Palace and its quiet gardens.
Rita was an amazing guide! Her knowledge of Sintra was top notch! She provided the human story to the locations we were visiting, which was such a unique factor to the tour. She was fun and easy to get along with. Rita was also able to give us a list of things to do after the tour with her tips on what to do and not to do based on our tour. She also brought us into a bakery and suggested some local pastries. As well as recommending some pastries in Lisbon. In terms of the tour itself, the half day tour felt like enough time to get a more detailed understanding of some of the highlights Sintra has to offer. Once again, another amazing tour from Context!
