Meet your guide and group in central Lisbon. Listen to a short introduction to get oriented, and hear about the history of the square, built with native Portuguese stones. Take in the sights, sounds, as you follow your guide through Restauradores Square and take a peek at Liberdade Avenue to see an important obelisk and plenty of examples of Portuguese art deco architecture. Check out Rossio Central Station and learn the details of the 19th-century engineering marvel that is the tunnel to Sintra. Next up are Carmo Square and the elegant Chiado neighborhood, full of local boutiques, restaurants, and bookstores. Admire the rebuilt Baixa Pombalina, the area that suffered the effect of the 18th century earthquake the most. From here, we slowly walk towards Alfama, the oldest nieighborhood of Lisbon, where time seems to stand still. As you explore, learn about the tradition of fado music, stopping to peek into fado restaurants and performance spaces you would ordinarily walk right by. The tour’s last stop is the grand Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio). After your guide’s final history lesson, get insider suggestions on where to explore further and say goodbye to your group.

Start:
  • Praça Dom Pedro IV, 1100 Lisboa, Portugal
    Look for the guide with a blue badge and blue badge or black backpack Meet by the statue. It's a big square with 2 fountains on each side and in the center a high column with a man on the top. If you are on a square with a statue of a man on a horse, you are in the wrong square.
End:
  • Praça do Comércio, 1100-148, Portugal

    Lots of variety, good wines, a great introduction to Lisbon
    Chon led us on a marvelous food and wine tour. He was engaging and fun. The whole tour was in a very accessible distance from the beginning square, and was mostly flat walking. The foods and wines were of great variety, so we tried several foods - and we came away full from our dinner together. It was a great introduction to Lisbon!

    Wonderful Tour and Guide
    Our tour was a great experience. We had Tomas as our guide and he provided so much history and insights into Portugal. Our tour at Pena Palace was well run and informative. Sintra was lovely and the pastries are not to be missed. The drive to Cascais was stunning. The sea and coast are beautiful. Lunch was amazing, fresh seafood and local wines. Overall very satisfied with this tour

    Sensational Sintra
    Tour was excellent. Small group, on time. Josh was a knowledgeable and fun guide. As a native of Sintra he knew many extra stories which added to the magic. Cascais was also a delightful seaside town.

    Portugal Trip
    I found out about Tour Tailors by accident and decided to give them a try for my trip to Portugal. Travel consultant Pedro Fialho was assigned to my case. He was patient and professional providing a comprehensive itinerary with suggested places of interest and restaurants. Happy with the quality and service provided. Pedro deserves special mention and delivered what we wanted.

    Great day, great tour
    The views were fabulous! The palace tour was well done and it was good we arrived early because it was getting very crowded when we were leaving. Our driver and tour guide, Bernardo, did an outstanding job of sharing information and history about Portugal, the palace and sites along the way.

    Great way to be introduced to Lisbon.
    Daniel did a great job explaining the food and drinks, while providing relevant historical information. This was a good value, and we experienced locations and met proprietors that we wouldn’t have otherwise. The real test is if we would be excited to go on a longer tour with Daniel. We certainly would, especially if he brought his acoustic guitar.

    Beautiful trip and well organized.
    Perhaps too much talking from the tour guide during the first hour of the tour. It was hard to follow and became noise after a while. Other than that first hour the tour was very pleasant and the tour guide was informative.

    Definitely worthwhile
    Great tour. Weather was beautiful along with the sites. Philippe was a great tour guide. Very personable, perfect English, and had us all laughing on the van ride. The small grow of 8 was perfect to get in & out of places and to hear all the information that Philippe was explaining. This is part of Lisbon you don’t want to miss.

    The best trip to Sintra with a first class guide. Highly recommended.
    A first rate tour. Highly recommended. Mari was a brilliant guide and kept the information coming. Getting to Sinatra early with this tour is the key for a great day and we arrived exactly at 09:30am for our timed entry and tour by Mari. Driving was safe and comfortable while the stop at Cascais for an unhurried lunch was delightful.

    Great experience
    The communication was great. They were punctual and efficient. Tour was everything expected and more. Got to see so much that we would have missed doing it ourselves. Natalia was amazing doing the tour in both English and French as it was a mixed group. She earned every cent and deserves more for doing a bilingual tour. She had a great sense of humour and made our time most enjoyable!

Danielle was engaging, knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide. She guided us around some fascinating sights giving us history and context painting in the colour and detail with the passion of someone who knows and loves her city. There are plenty of free tours but don’t bother with them - this one was worth every penny.

Ana was our guide. We got lucky that since it was off season, the tour ended up just being my group. She was at the meet-up spot early and was easy to find. The tour itself was great! She was not only very knowledgeable of what was on the itinerary, but even more. As we were walking around, we asked her questions about buildings we would see in the distance, and she was able to provide us with the history of them too. At the end of the tour, as we drank our wine, she helped us by giving us more ideas of what to check out while we are there (which we did which was an amazing suggestion). Thanks again!

We had lovely time with Beatrice and our walking group, 12 of us altogether. She is a fantastic guide, enthusiastic,fun, entertaining, so informative and interesting, showed us parts of the city we would otherwise never have had time to discover on our short visit to Lisbon and answered all our questions with patience!!! This is a must do tour , highly recommended. Great value with a guide who is a wonderful ambassador for Lisbon tourism and the company she represents. Thank you Beatrice.

Our guide Joanna was amazing. I can’t believe so much was included in such a short space of time. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour to start your time in Lisbon as it gives such a great overview of the city.

Our guide Sebastião, was indeed very knowledgeable and took real pride in explaining everything in detail. He really loves what he does, which was clear by looking at his enthusiasm throughout the tour. The tour includes all the highlights of lisbon that one has on the bucket list. Sebastião took us to many view points, and they were really breathtaking and amazing. The tour concluded with some traditional wine tasting. This tour can prove helpful if you take it on the first day of your arrival, as you would know what else you can do with the rest of your stay.

We were lucky to have Beatriz as a guide in our first day in Lisbon! The historical and art information were delivered in an anecdotical, fun way. Beatriz offered lots of practical info and was able to answer all our questions, which helped us to structure the visit for the next days. She kept the group enchanted for 3 hours that in the end it was hard for us to part ways.
Thank you, dear Beatriz!

My two adult daughters and I took the tour with Joana, and they both said it was their favorite experience in Lisbon. I have to agree- Joana made it an amazing experience. She was so relaxed, personable, and friendly, while also being incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a ton about Lisbon, but the information was given with humor and through stories, so it felt very different from other guided tours. When she talked about the dictatorship or the revolution or the religious attitudes in the country, she talked about the experiences of her own friends and family, and she made the culture come alive. She was very cognizant of the different physical abilities in the group, but never made anyone feel singled out. She also went above and beyond in accommodating our dietary restrictions (vegetarian). Even though we were a mix of ages, abilities, countries, and genders, everyone felt like friends by the end. We also took her suggestions to heart for the (unfortunately limited) time we had left. I HIGHLY recommend you take the tour your first day in Lisbon, because it’s such a great way to see and become familiar with the city. Just fyi for anyone wondering, the tour is very doable in term of walking and she provides alternatives by showing you public escalators, elevators, and secret shortcuts. Thank you, Joana, for being the highlight of our trip!

If you really want to be introduced to Lisbon, this is the best way to do it. Our guide, Joanna, was wonderful. Not only was she informative, her way of narrating all the facts was very interesting and made you want to hear more. The info we were given, in addition to introducing us to Lisbon, helped us know how to navigate the city in the best way possible (what to see, where to eat, how to find our way, how to get up those hills without having to climb much). One of the best walking tours I've been on...A definite must.

Our tour guide was great talking to us when our group met her in the square. But once we started walking it was kind of not fair that only those close enough to her could hear what she was telling us. But a nice part of the tour was stopping to taste a favorite Portuguese pastry and even to taste a wine and cheese all as part of the price of the tour.
