Filipa met us at our hotel and arranged a cab to get us to Belem. While we were there, she provided us with a lot of details and facts that we would not have otherwise found. She took us through a botanical garden and gave us a lot of good insights on how to plan a more detailed visit to some of the other sights in the area. Her explanations were very comprehensive and we definitely benefited from her in-depth local knowledge. Working with Filipa added a lot to our trip and I highly recommend her

Filipa was such a wonderful guide. She is so knowledgeable and showed us so many neat things. We had a private tour and so she was very flexible. She also made great lunch recommendations. Definitely take a tour with her!

Best walking tour in Lisbon, make sure to book with Ricardo he is a true gentleman that knows a lot of interesting information
I went in solo tour and he was kind enough to explain everything in Portuguese so I can practice

The tour title does say "private" - but I don't think I took that in! I was surprised when it was just the tour guide and myself. This was a wonderful tour and Filippa was a great guide. She gave a quick tour of downtown before we got on a tram to Belem. Belem is a nice area on the outskirts of Lisbon. She will take you to see beautiful sights and you'll get to try the original Belem tart (WORTH IT!)

Excellent tour. Filipa was a great guide, full of knowledge on the places she showed me. In addition to the sites listed in the itinerary she showed me the gardens in Belém and how to use public transportation.

Our tour guide was very friendly. She provided interesting historical facts related to the area. Offered assistance if we needed it after the tour. I truly recommend this experience.

I don't ever write reviews, but because of the amazing experience that I had with 'Alfacinhas Walking Tours,' I find it necessary to do so.
Filipa, the owner, was my tour guide and she was so knowledgeable about the places that she took me to. Filipa captivated me with the history behind each building and monument that we stopped at.
So, if you are looking for a tour guide/company in Lisbon , look no further - this is it! I HIGHLY recommend 'Alfacinhas Walking Tours.'

Interesting tour. Most information about the Jeronimo site more informative on Youtube. This costly guided tour is not worth the price.You can easily plan it yourself in advance and save a lot by using a taxi to get there and visit the sites on you own. Language barrier between us and the guide.

This was an excellent tour which was even better than we anticipated as I thought we would just be part of a larger group whereas it turned out to be a private tour with our excellent guide, Ricardo. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and totally unflappable when having to adapt our travel arrangements when the tram failed to turn up. We had a terrific tour of the key sites of Belem including the Church of Jerónimos, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos monument, the Belem tower and, of course, the Pasteis de Belem bakery.
