With the helpful and knowledgeable guide of Rachele, we did our tour of the most ancient area of Lisbon. Although not as monumental as Belém, we really enjoyed our visit.

Itinerary
We will admire the facade of the Church of Our Lady of the Old Conception, with its incredible details in Manueline style and its references to esoteric figures.
We will pass in front of the very special Casa dei Becchi, which belonged to the Albuquerque family, today the Saramago Foundation, where we will talk about the famous Nobel prize writer in 1998.
We will see this very special 13th century fountain, with its peculiar history.
We will obviously visit Lisbon Cathedral, a symbol of Christianity in this city built in 1150, which still preserves the remains of its patron saint, Sao Vicente.
We will therefore admire the Church dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua, understanding the ties that bind "our" Saint to the city of Lisbon.
We will pass in front of one of the most famous prisons in Lisbon, now a museum.
We will arrive at one of the most spectacular Belvedere in the city, with its terrace decorated with splendid Azulejos, where we can admire a breathtaking view.
We will reach the Miradouro on the hill of Graca, which will allow us to enjoy the best view of the city, right in front of the Castle of Sao Jorge.
The church of Sao Vicente de Fora, built by an Italian architect, Filippo Terzi, is one of the most beautiful buildings in all of Lisbon. We can admire it during our tour.

Tour with Sara in Lisbon - EXCEPTIONAL! We were lucky enough to have Sara as our Italian guide in Lisbon and we couldn't have asked for better. Very talented, very well-prepared, and above all capable of engaging everyone with her passionate way of telling history. It's not the usual boring guided tour, it really lets you experience the city, with anecdotes, curiosities, and lots of charm. You can tell that she loves what she does. Highly recommended, 5 very well-deserved stars! Thank you Sara! Francesca and Alessandro
Rachele Cristina and Sara accompanied us on their tours around Lisbon with great professionalism and not only: friendliness and patience, telling us not only streets monuments churches but also a part of them. Very pleasant. NOT TO BE MISSED. A hug girls. Barbara and Gian Paolo
We would not have enjoyed the city in the same way without the guidance of Cristina and Daniele: highly prepared, ironic and always ready to get involved with the group, they accompanied us in the places of the tour stimulating our curiosity and transmitting their tangible passion for Portuguese culture. You should definitely not miss the trip to the mysterious and fascinating Sintra, with passage to also Cabo da Roca and Cascais to enjoy the ocean views. Thank you for the wonderful experience (Arianna, Elisabetta, Massimo - from Pistoia)
One of the best experiences. Alfama, a wonderful place sometimes secret that thanks to Rachel's skill we discovered! An afternoon up and down in the history of Lisbon, beautiful even in the rain. The surprise in the end pays off for all the efforts.....So: comfortable shoes, Rachel as a guide and ready to wonder! Really recommended.
Daniele is an experienced and very nice guide, narrates Lisbon with the same love that you can have for your hometown. With his passionate and cunning story, Daniele, to the lucky tourists entrusted to him, transmits the essence of his love for this fantastic city and its inhabitants. Despite the incessant rain, the tour was agile and intriguing. A sincere thank you! Danila and Piero Lisbon, 19 March 2026
Our experience of discovering Lisbon has been elevated to a higher level thanks to our guide Daniele Severi a true excellence in his field. I couldn't recommend your service enough. From the first moment, a stunning historical and cultural preparation emerged. Every corner of the city, every monument and every anecdote were presented with a depth and clarity that turned a simple visit into a real lesson in history and art. His expertise is unquestionable and his way of communicating makes even the most complex concepts accessible and fascinating. What made the experience unique was her personality. In addition to being extremely prepared, he managed to be incredibly witty and likeable. The perfect balance between informative rigor and lightness meant that the hours flew by, between genuine laughter and moments of deep reflection on the history of Lisbon. His friendliness and friendly approach made us feel not just tourists, but guests of honor. If you are looking for a guide who not only knows Lisbon well, but also knows how to transmit his passion with charisma and joy, you have found the right person. A professional of the highest level and an exquisite person Sabrina Angelini
We did the Lisbon tour with Daniele and it was a fantastic experience! Gentle, prepared and super funny, he told the city with passion, between history and curious anecdotes. Highly recommended!
Made yesterday the tour with Rachele, nice experience to discover curiosities about Alfama that we could never have noticed alone. Although the weather was not the best even our two girls of 8 and 3 and a half years were intrigued and participated. Highly recommended!
Great experience with Daniel, Rachel and Sara. With the family we did 3 tours and it was a great experience. Daniele and the girls were able to involve us in their stories without ever running the risk of distracting us. Highly recommended!!
Beautiful experience with bubbly nice experience guide (elisa) wonderful places above my expectations ..
The tour of the historic center of Lisbon was made even more pleasant, interesting and fun by Daniele who with his expertise and sympathy made us appreciate the beauty of the city without missing a smile. Highly recommended.
I attended the free excursion with Sara and it was very nice, Sara was able to excite the whole group with engaging and clear explanations. Very good at conveying information clearly. I absolutely recommend this excursion with Sara.
Beautiful tour with Daniele looking for goodies of the city. Time has flown. Definitely to be recommended to those who want to discover the city
Perfect day with sunshine and Daniel as guide!!!!He managed to explain the history of this country in the smallest detail finding a way to excite everyone!!!We recommend this tour
We are Anna and Maurizio from Rome. We did 3 tours (free Lisbon) Alfama, Sintra, with Cristina. Helpful guide, professional and friendly. We recommend them to everyone, especially with her! Good driving.
Tour Alfama. Daniele is a passionate guide. Nice and attentive to the needs of the group, it involves you with stories and anecdotes making even the path less tiring.
Visiting Belém with Daniele as a guide was a real pleasure: his preparation and sympathy made each stage interesting and fascinating. Of course, the famous Pastéis de Belém could not be missed: a real taste of Lisbon tradition that made the experience unforgettable. In the afternoon we then visited Alfama which is already magical, but with our guide Rachele was even more so: competent, engaging and with a smile that makes everything special! The visit could only end with a toast with the typical Ginjinha, the authentic flavor of Lisbon. Thanks also to our guide Sara who in addition to giving us information and curiosity transmitted strong emotions: she took us to Nazaré which enchanted us with its gigantic and spectacular waves and then accompanied us to Fatima the spiritual heart of Portugal, a destination of pilgrimages! Thank you all for this unforgettable experience!!! Highly recommended tours!!! 🔝
Recommended without a shadow of a doubt. I did the Alfama tour with Daniele and the Belém tour with Sara. The guys are very prepared but also passionate and attentive to every need. Obrigada!!!
We did the free tour of the center and we felt so good that we chose to do with them Alfama and Belém. Very good as guides Elisa and Daniele, the latter really histrionic. Great experience, I recommend it.
Cristina accompanied us on the free tour of lisbon and was very stimulating and always ready to answer our questions without ever getting tired despite the remarkable temperatures of the afternoon! In the morning we also saw the belem area but the Tower was under renovation and the tour included only the church not the monastery so I preferred the free tour but it is personal. So we recommend it!
Cristina accompanied us and made us discover the city as we will never be able to independently, very prepared and patient
Pleasant, pleasant, lots of information, a key to enter the city. Daniele our guide, in the tour of Alfama but also in Baixa-Chiado super prepared and amazing! I really recommend it!
With Daniele we moved from Baixa to Alfama with explanations on churches, historical events and saints. The oldest and most alive part in these days of the feast of saints! All told with sympathy and details, even about the mythical fado.
Fun and competent Respectful of every need I learned a lot of curiosity, out of what you can find yourself.
We visited the Alfama neighborhood under the Guide of Diego, professional, prepared and nice, we absolutely recommend visiting the city with him.
Today we did another tour with Sara in Alfama. There is nothing to say these guys are really all prepared and professional!! Congratulations indeed! Highly recommended
We participated in the free tour of Lisbon and the paid tour (15 euros) of the Alfama district. Both pleasant tours and guides available and prepared. Recommendation to participate in their tours absolutely, turning alone you risk losing details of the city and important historical notes. We really enjoyed the Alfama tour! A small note: I found the free tour a bit too focused on advertising paid tours.
Up and down Alfama with Diego, an attentive and precise guide....not to be missed...churches, and views along the route of the 28th
Very interesting. Some places are really impressive. Our guide was very good. It is quite tiring but worth it.
We learned about Tour Italian Lisbon thanks to some travel diaries that spoke very well about it and that led us to choose this option for our visit to the Alfama district. A choice that I would definitely make again, with the guidance of Daniele, a dear boy, very prepared, nice and absolutely kind and helpful. A natural ability to engage participants and very honest prices. I recommend this type of visit to everyone, to fully enjoy the city, also because you can learn about the most hidden corners and the wonderfully narrated history. Thanks to our dear Daniele!!!
The guide was very prepared and knew how to dose the information well, alternating historical information (impeccable) with funny anecdotes. The Alfama district is beautiful, but visiting it with a guide who makes you discover its hidden corners and explains why some of the details are really priceless.
With Elvira we had a very pleasant experience for her competence and high professionalism, combined with a character courtesy that pleasantly accompanies the tour. Thank you Elvira
Beautiful experience with our guide Linda, very prepared kind and helpful explained in detail the history of this fascinating city. I recommend to all these guides. Congratulations
I lived unforgettable tours fascinated by Elvira and enjoying Alessandro's guidance ... now Alfama Belem and Sintra will also have their faces and gentle ways
For the first time in Lisbon, a city that conquers you at first sight! An infinite thanks to the guys who accompanied us, Alessandro and Elvira. Clear and patient preparations. Manuela
Excellent organization, our guides Elvira and Alberto said Francio were very good, nice and prepared. Definitely recommended.
We discovered this possibility by pure chance, walking through Praca do Rossio we saw a tricolor umbrella and stopped to ask for info. The next day we decided to join the Alfama tour. Let's start from the cost, 15 euros for almost 3 hours of guided tour is really nothing. Anna -our guide- was very careful to mix with the right balance the pace of walking and breaks in one of the steepest neighborhoods of Lisbon. The tour left in a very pleasant way especially for the enormous ability to deepen that Anna has shown to have. Truly a highly recommended experience!
The guys are great! we did alfama tours and free tours (only two due to time issues) Anna and Alberto (francio) accompanied us to visit this beautiful city 🥰 explaining everything in detail and adding a lot of sympathy!! Thank you guys!! And a special thanks goes to Antonella, girl that I did not know physically, but through sms , always kind and helpful!! Thank you all
I found myself really good I did a day with Anna very good, nice and prepared, and another day with Francio also very good and helpful so I highly recommend them. Flora
Lisbon is a wonderful city, but paper guides don't do it justice. I highly recommend being accompanied through the streets of this beautiful capital by the guys on the tour, their stories will make your experience richer and unforgettable. We did the free tour of baixa and we loved it so much that we decided to do also those of alfama and belem (25 euros each) Our guides were Elvira and Anna. We could not have been luckier! Anna, with whom we did two out of three tours, is sweet and makes you fall in love with the city, its sky and its scents and colors. Thank you so much!
After a few hours that I had arrived there in Lisbon I met Ludovica. He explained what it was and I immediately decided to participate. I did the afternoon free tour with Alessandro. Tomorrow morning the belem tour with Elvira. And the next day again the alfama tour always with Elvira. I found we are well organized tours and the preparation / expertise of the guides good. Especially that of Elvira. Also in my opinion they are also cheap .. I recommend them ... Piergiorgio
It 'was a pleasant walk in the Alfama neighborhood accompanied by Francio who delighted us with stories and details.
Elvira is absolutely prepared and competent. The duration and routes of the tours are well calibrated, I think. Choosing to travel by public transport, when necessary, also allows you to have low costs! Everything is perfect.
If I had visited Alfana alone I would have been there max 1 hour and I would have come out dissatisfied .. With Elvira we immersed ourselves in the history and life that was (and is) of the neighborhood making the visit interesting and intriguing... what about... BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE Antonio
We met Ludovica by chance the day before the Lisbon free tour. We did the free tour with Alberto aka francio and enjoyed it so much that the same afternoon we did the Alfama tour with them. Good guide, very prepared, kind and patient. Experience to do in Lisbon, highly recommended.
We actually did 4 tours: Alfama, Lisbon, Sintra and Belem. We had 3 different guides and we found a lot of preparation, courtesy, availability and evident passion for what they do. Thanks to Francesco, Elvira and Francio, as well as to the rest of the staff we met. We will vote you with all our acquaintances
We participated in the tour of the Alfama district and were very happy, both by the preparation of the guide, and by his sympathy and enthusiasm. In the group there were many other people who had also done the other tours, confirming that our feeling was not at all wrong
Francio🥇 was our Cicero⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professionalism, competence and passion distinguish the work that the staff does every day. A must-see tour for those who decide to spend a few days in fantastic Lisbon.
We did the Alfama tour with Francio. We had already visited the area ourselves but he showed us wonderful views and described the neighborhood with an engaging enthusiasm. A spectacle. Thank you very much
