Free walking tours in Cascais

Gabriella did a wonderful job in informing us but also connecting the dots related to the role Portugal played in the war. We have a new appreciation of how Estoril fits into the Cascais/ Lisbon landscape. The SPY angle was very cool! Overall, worth the effort to take in this tour while visiting this part of Portugal. Thank you!

Ana Gabriela was amazing. I was the only one on the tour so it felt like a private, custom made tour just for me. She knows a lot (a bit too much ;)) and was very generous with her time. I learnt a lot about the history, culture and identity of Estoril and Cascais. Best of all, I found a friend in Ana Gabriela. Thanks a fun day!

Fabulous and informative tour around Estoril. Gabriela did a fantastic job explaining lots of hisorical facts, time passed quickly. Plus: We enjoyed lovely pastery at Garrett Café.

A person with passion for the history and information shared during the tour.

Ana Gabriela is passionate and knowledgeable about the Cascais/Estoril area. Her English is excellent. She brought to life some of the romantic/exciting aspects of the history, including royalty, spies, WWII era. She also brought us to a lovely bakery for a coffee. It was a great experience.

I had such a wonderful experience on my walking tour with Gabriella, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone visiting Estoril and Cascais. What truly makes Gabriella stand out is her unique niche; she brings these towns to life through stories of mystery, WWII-era spies, and the fascinating international history that shaped this region. Her genuine fascination with Estoril and Cascais is evident, and it turns the experience into something far more engaging than a standard walking tour. One of our first stops was Garrett Estoril, one of the longest-running historic coffee houses, where we stopped for coffee (and they offer many unique pastries) while learning about its cultural significance. Gabriella also shared incredible stories about the Palácio Estoril Hotel, including the many famous guests who stayed there and how the hotel helped inspire many elements of some James Bond films. Hearing these stories while standing in the actual locations made the history feel very alive! From there, we took a beautiful coastal stroll north toward Cascais, where the tour became even more personalized. Gabriella allows you to shape the experience based on your interests, and since this was my first visit, I trusted her guidance. We ended up visiting a local museum featuring works by the iconic Portuguese artist Paula Rego, whose powerful and thought-provoking pieces added a deeper cultural layer to the day. One thing that truly deserves special mention is that although many walking tours require a minimum number of participants, Gabriella did not mind that I was the only one signed up. She still made a genuine effort to create meaningful dialogue and even customized parts of the tour around my personal interests. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring alongside a knowledgeable local who truly cares about sharing the story of her town. If you’re looking for a deeper, more unique perspective on Estoril and Cascais (one filled with history, mystery, art, and unforgettable storytelling!) I highly recommend booking a tour with Gabriella.

Very interesting tour and information with Ana. Thoroughly recommend it.

This tour was different and interesting. We saw physical locations to include natural areas. Historical museum display, and walked the steps of the spies of WWII. Loved it. Book this tour which is relaxing but mentally enticing!

Fascinating, unexpected and original. This is a most unusual and original lens to view the Portuguese Riviera. Love the stories and mystery and new way to look at a slice of Portuguese 20th century history.
