Overview

Are you visiting Lisbon for the first time? Do you wish to see all its main attractions? Enjoy the wonderful views from many natural viewpoints and discover the 7 hills of this ancient city.

Through the historical districts of Baixa, Alfama, Chiado, Bairro Alto, Príncipe Real, Estrela, Alcântara and Belém, Lisbon will reveal itself as an unforgettable place lost in time. Time for a gastronomical experience and restaurant tips, a perfect way to get into the Portuguese soul.

Discover the new found lands where the navigators arrived and from where they got back bringing so many exotic products, through the eyes of a monument dedicated to all these conquests.

Travel back in time until the 16th century and delight yourself by looking at the Belém Tower, which lays on River Tagus' light blue waters.

After stopping at the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery, the jewel of Manueline Art, taste the local crunchy custard tarts, sprinkled with one of the favourite spices which the navigators brought from Asia: cinnamon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Marta of Belém Tower, Jerome monastery and cathedral, and the monument to the Discoverers. The sweet finish was a delicious stop for the special Belém pasteis da nata and other treats. Marta was welcoming with interesting and informative explanations that brought the history of the Belém area alive.

Marta gave us an outstanding virtual tour of Lisbon in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic! She was friendly, entertaining, and thorough. She gave us 360 degree views when appropriate, and pointed out details both in the distance and nearby. Marta answered our questions and followed up with tips for a visit we hope to make in the future. Her advice was that which only a local can provide. Her description of the tour on the web site was fully delivered and more. We have no hesitation in recommending her!

Marta was outstanding! By far one of the best guides we have ever had. She gave us a great overview of the city, insight into current politics and major issues facing the citizens. We learned so much and had a wonderful time with her. (she even seemed to have the ability to make parking spaces open just as we arrived at each site!) We wish we could give her 10 stars!

We hired Marta to take us on a 7 hour Lisbon tour. Marta was very personable. Her car was spotless...her driving was excellent...her English was perfect. We started out with a driving tour of Lisbon. Marta would pull over when she wanted to point out something specific or that sight required a more detailed explanation. We really learned so much about the history and the people....it's amazing how much knowledge she shares. We went to the tile museum and then to a shop to paint tiles. This was a rainy day so it was perfect for being in a car. We went to see the sights in Belem and of course stop at the Pasterie de Belem. Great day spent with a great guide.

This is one of the best tours in which I have experienced! Marta is an excellent tour guide who knows how to narrate an excellent story while sharing her knowledge about the place, its salient features, as well as funny tidbits. She is quite the professional, with a strong sense of empathy and affinity. While our travel delays forced the tour to begin late, Marta willingly accommodated us and was never concerned about the delay. She hit it off great with our entire family, including our three teens!

Marta was simply the best guide we have ever had in Europe! We took my in-laws for a “trip of a lifetime” to Spain and Portugal. They hadn’t had a chance to travel much in their lives and this was their big dream trip. Marta made sure that our experience in Lisbon was above and beyond any expectations. Her knowledge of world history is unparalleled no detail on a building, palace, museum goes unnoticed because she has a story to tell. She made all of us feel at home and was super accommodating with my father in law mobility challenges. She took us around town in her spotless van, all while pointing things out here and there that we didn’t even expect to see or tour. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Marta for your care for our family and the best tour ever!
