Free Walking Tours through the Alfama Lisboa

Joana was incredible! I was blown away with the level of knowledge and detail she provided throughout the tour. We fell in love with Lisbon. She was also very thoughtful. We’ve done various tours with gurus across Europe, but Joana and Lisbon stand out the most. Absolute must-do in Lisbon.

Beatriz was a 11/10 tour guide. We saw so much in the 3 hours and she did not rush through the spots. We learned about history and also useful information for tourists. I would highly recommend a tour with her.

Amazing tour with an an amazing tour guide

We had a wonderful tour(guide)! I can only recommend to do a tour and explore the city with a local.

The tour was very good. We walked through few neighbourhoods. The guide Joanna was both informative and amusing, and stayed with us more time then the plan. Highly recommend!!!

Fue un tour muy ameno e interesante con Inés, recomiendo ampliamente. Ella es una chica amable y agradable con mucha información, el recorrido fue perfecto y mejor de lo que esperaba!

Ines was very nice and energetic. She made the tour really enjoyable, it did not even feel like three hours. She also invited us to a delicious pastel de nata, one of the best we have tried in the city. She interacted with us and even prepared some quizzes, which was a great way to retain the information she shared during the tour. This tour was a 10 out of 10, we definitely recommend it.

A interesting and informative tour by Lia with a good route.

She was quite knowledgeable, down to earth and had a great sense of humour. In my view, a tour guide makes the tour either a positive or negative experience. Thankfully, Ines made it a positive experience!!!

Nice tour with 6 people en enthousiastic tourlyder António

António was the best tour guide I have been fortunate to book with on guruwalk. He was punctual and kept me updated with his location so he was easy to find at the start of the tour. António is the tour guide to take when you first arrive to Lisbon so you get all his tips and recommendations for visiting the local area and other areas in Portugal!!!! He was friendly and made the tour very interesting so do not hesitate booking with António! My only regret was I booked it at the end of my trip and wish I had booked the first day of my arrival to Lisbon! Thank you António for a fabulous tour!

Our guide Joana was fantastic thank you for a wonderful introduction to the city!

We took a tour with andrea and she was wonderful. Full of knowledge, very patient with all our questions. You can see she loves lisbon and that was passed to us. I fully recommend this tour

Fraga was an amazing tour guide! So expressive, kind and welcoming. My sister and I had a wonderful time learning about beautiful Lisbon. The recommendations he provided after the tour were very appreciated. Thank you!!

Great experience,i totally recommend Natalia was excellent!

Rita conducted the tour perfectly, with accurate and well curated information. Her style was very good, with humour complementary to the tour. The places we visited were great too, with the added bonus of free tasting. Highly recommended to do this tour in Lisbon!

No regrets, found it on my ride into the city from the airport and it was great way to get acclimated to the city and learned so much!

Great time. Interesting history. Animated tour guide. Highly recommended.

We always go on a Walking tour of a new city as it is the best way to getting under the skin of a new place, its history, its culture and its people. They never disappoint and Joao was entertaining and bought the city alive.

We had a very nice Tour and learned a lot about Lisbon. Antonio knows a lot about the City and I would really recomend everyone to do this Tour! Also it’s normally pretty small and more personal

I like the way she explained and entertained whole group in the tour, never felt boring

The tour with Rita was amazing as she shared so many interesting insights and kept the energy high the entire time. A lovely bonus was the free tasting of "Pastel de Nata" at a local bakery, which made the experience even more authentic. I’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon!

Good tour overall so far and I appreciate the guiding, though I do wish we had seen more places along the way, and there could have been a little less information and talking. That said, there were a few things that really stood out and should be addressed. Some of the humor about appearance, implying that people who are brown, shorter, or not white with light eyes are less attractive, did not land well, especially with a diverse group present. Even if meant jokingly, it can make people uncomfortable. The tour also felt very Eurocentric. Many “firsts” cited were actually the first in Europe, not the world, and the narrative left out major parts of history. Portugal’s role in colonization, the slave trade, and the genocide of Indigenous peoples in Brazil wasn’t mentioned at all, which was surprising in a 3.5-hour tour. A more balanced, historically accurate perspective would make this tour much stronger and more inclusive for everyone.

Terrific overview of Portuguese history and Lisbon culture and vibe, brought alive in style and with wit by Ines whose erudition w was as entertaining as it was insightful

Fraga was fantastic! He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Really personable and approachable. Can’t recommend this tour enough!
