This was an outstanding tour with Diogo our guide. He communicated via what's app to confirm pickup time at our hotel. His van was spotless. He took us to so many places that we never would have gotten to see on our own in the limited time we had. It was the perfect amount of time as we were tired from our overnight flight. He was very knowledgeable and well spoken. I absolutely recommend this tour!

Daniel is a really wonderful tour guide and so very knowledgeable about Lisbon. Helpful and happy to take pictures. It was obvious he was very well liked by the proprietors along our route. His driving skills are amazing! I was not scared for a moment he was totally in control and gracious to other drivers all the time.
Amazing introductory tour for our first day in Lisbon. Our guide Diego was very informative and well paced. A great experience!
Daniel our tour guide was an excellent historian and very knowledgeable. He carefully accommodated two of our group who walked with canes.
Call it a "Taste of Lisboa" tour. Seems we covered a lot of (varied) ground in a short period without being out of breath. Our guide, Diogo, was really excellent. I don't know if I was more impressed by his knowledge of history or his driving skills on Lisboa's impossibly narrow streets.
We had a wonderful private tour of Lisbon with Diogo! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, sharing fascinating information about the city’s history, culture, and beautiful landmarks. I have mobility limitations and use a SmartScoot mobility scooter, and Diogo was incredibly accommodating, patient, and attentive to my needs. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the tour and could enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. The private vehicle was very comfortable, making it easy and enjoyable to explore Lisbon. One of the highlights of our day was our visit to learn about the famous Portuguese custard pastries, pastéis de Belém. Hearing the history and tradition behind these delicious pastries was fascinating, and tasting them was even better! They were absolutely delicious and such a memorable part of our visit. Diogo’s knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail made our time in Lisbon truly special. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the tour and appreciated how he made the experience both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend this private tour, especially with Diogo as your guide! It was a fantastic way to experience Lisbon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
This excursion covered all the main must see highlights of Lisbon. This included beautiful overview sites, the old historic area, Chiada section, Belem Tower and area including a special stop for Pasteis de Belem pastry. All of this was expertly done under trying conditions (crazy traffic and some streets closed) by our extraordinary guide Diogo. Make sure you book this adventure!
Lisbon is an amazing city. We learned and saw so much, thanks to Daniel our tour guide! He also recommended an amazing restaurant where we enjoyed paella.

Daniel anticipated our needs, took us to some local spots , and was very thorough in his explanation of the history of the sites.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Unforgettable Experience!** If you're visiting Lisbon, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Daniel — you will not regret it! From the moment we met him, his enthusiasm and love for his city were absolutely infectious. Daniel's knowledge of Lisbon's history, culture, and hidden gems is incredible. He didn't just recite facts — he brought every street, tile, and viewpoint to life with stories that made the city feel completely new, even for those of us who'd done some research beforehand. He effortlessly wove together history, local legends, and personal anecdotes in a way that kept us engaged the entire time. What really set the tour apart was how personable and attentive Daniel was. He tailored the pace to our group, made sure everyone felt included, and was happy to go off-script to answer questions or show us a spot that wasn't even on the itinerary. He clearly cares about giving people an authentic experience rather than just checking boxes on a tourist route. We left with a genuine appreciation for Lisbon that we wouldn't have gotten on our own — plus some fantastic recommendations for food and drinks that did not disappoint! Daniel is passionate, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and just an all-around wonderful guide.

A wonderful experience. Our tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend!!
Our tour guide Diogo was excellent. He was right on time to pick us up in his air conditioned van. Very courteous and friendly. During the tour he was with our questions and generous with his deep knowledge of Lisbon and Portugal. . The air conditioning worked really well because it was a hot day. He took us to several places we didn't know we could get to, and we're glad we took it by van rather than try to walk it or take public transportation. Couldn't have walked it, it would have been a lot of up hills and hard cobblestones. Super nice guy, he took us to the Bellum Tower, but we didn't go in because there were long lines, but he told us to come back later in the day. He had tips on when to come see things when they weren't as crowded, like going to the Nautical Museum, and then going to see the church afterwards near the end of the day.
We offer very positive feedback on our Lisbon tour which your company and Diogo provided for us on 22 May, 2026. Our group of 4 experienced travelers had a wonderful multi-hour tour of all of the beautiful and historic sites of Lisbon. We appreciated Diogo’s information about the history and culture of Lisbon, as well as the correlation to all of Portugal’s history. Diogo kept us on schedule, while still allowing us to take our time in areas of interest. He was very kind, well spoken and good natured in our interactions with him. We would certainly recommend your tour company and, especially Diogo, to others interested in having a wonderful experience in your great city.
Outstanding tour of Lisbon highlights. Daniel was the perfect tour guide and host. He had the perfect combination of warmth, kindness, and friendliness, and he had a wealth of information and knowledge about the history, past and present, of each landmark, building, and neighborhood. He and his tour company have our highest recommendation!
Great tour of Lisboa in the comfort of an air conditioned van! Daniel and Diogo were perfect tour guides and took us to some amazing sites.
Diego was the best tour guide to tour Lisbon. He took us to all the places we requested plus more than we expected. He answered any questions we asked, took his time to give us details about all the places. As the day progressed we ended up in a beautiful park where we people watched enjoying a leisurely afternoon with their families while we had a cool soda. That was the best to end a beautiful day in Lisbon.
Daniel was informative, polite, kind, and made our day in Lisbon amazing! We would definitely recommend Daniel.
