Lígio - Tour Guide in Lagos

I was born in Lagos all the time hearing stories from my uncle who was the curator of a local church. I entered a History course at the University of Braga, between 2012 and 2016. After finishing that course, I began to investigate everything that my uncle had taught me in documents, books, of course I was upset. But I can say that all the information you gave me was accurate. I also learned from some scholars that I felt they had the same passion for research and for this city. I was lucky to meet these people as they were always a reliable source. I launched the Lagos Walking Tour Project in 2018. Lagos, and the entire Algarve, have always been known for beautiful beaches and exquisite cuisine. The idea of me creating this project is to be able to give another offer and cultural perspective in addition to all the sun and beaches.

Great tour with a lot of history and humor. Lígio was able to tell a lot about the town and gave relevant tips. In the market we were able to taste some local delicacies and you can tell Lígio is know and loved by the locals. His explanations and stories are sometimes a little chaotic, but this made the experience all the more funny and interesting! We definitely recommend this tour!

Lot of unrelated subjects and some difficulties to understand the guide.

Response from Lígio
Thank you for your feedback, though I respectfully disagree with some of your observations. Every subject covered in the tour—including street art interpretations—is carefully curated to connect with Lagos’s broader history. I provide clues throughout the experience that ultimately tie all themes together, creating a cohesive narrative by the end. Many guests enjoy this ‘big reveal’ approach, as it reflects how history itself is interwoven. That said, I regret that this structure didn’t resonate with you. As the tour is conducted in English, fluency in the language is essential to follow these nuanced connections. For future guests: If you’re unsure about your comprehension level or prefer a more linear style, please message me beforehand—I’m happy to clarify details or adjust pacing during the tour when possible. I take pride in offering a unique, deeply researched perspective on Lagos, and I welcome constructive criticism. But I stand by the intentionality of my content. Obrigado!"
