I had an excellent walking tour in Lisbon with Ricardo. He shared a wealth of historical insights and was able to answer all my questions. He made the tour both informative and entertaining. Ricardo also kindly took some great photos of me at various spots. I highly recommend his tour for anyone wanting to explore and learn more about this beautiful city.

This was a great walking tour. We were only three to start with and were joined mid tour by a fun group of ballroom dancers.
Our young guide was exuberant and kept a good pace as we toured the Alfama. Be sure to try the nearby coffee shop before or after your walk.

Barbara Linda was our guide. We learned so much and made it so entertaining. Vox City is the tour company with various options (from electric bikes to side by side scooters and walking tour). The latter was the best for us and our guide was so knowledgeable and lots of fun. We would recommend her to anyone.

Giavannia is one of the best walking tour guides I ever had!
Her knowledge is impressive and her delivery comes with feeling about the subject. I particularly like the historical perspective she emphasizes during her tour. We were only three taking the tour which made it all the more enjoyable. Lisbon is all hills and stairs, which seem as though they only go up, but she insured that we kept a comfortable pace. Be sure to ask about the wonderful cafe/bakery just around the corner.
