Free Walking Tours through the Alfama Lisboa

Nuno is very professional. He gave good information, historical and contemporain. The route was well planned. He also gave us good int about going around the city. We enjoyed the tour.

The walkingtour was a highlight of our trip to Lisbon. Claudia told us the history in a colorful and inspiring way. All the little stories - it was simply perfect. We enjoyed every minute.

Joana was a fantastic guide. We've done free walking tours across the world, and Joana has been our best guide. She was engaging, lively, warm and open with delivering the information in a way that kept our attention and interested even through a lot of information and history. Thank you Joana for giving us a deeper understanding and appreciation of your country, Lisbon, and its people.

We did a free walking tour in Lisbon with Bruno, and to say that he is passionate about what he does would be an understatement. He was truly outstanding—engaging, entertaining, and able to keep the entire group’s attention from start to finish. What we especially appreciated was how he explained Portugal’s history in such a simple and accessible way, making it easy to follow how the country developed over time. Bruno showed us wonderful places around the city and brought them to life with his charisma and enthusiasm. His love for Lisbon and for Portugal really came through in everything he said, and it made the experience feel authentic and memorable. Thanks to him, we feel like we truly understood the city. He didn’t just share facts—he gave us insights and stories that we will carry with us long after the trip. The tour made our stay in Lisbon much more enjoyable and meaningful. It’s clear that the experience would not have been the same without him. We highly, highly recommend taking a tour with Bruno—if you get the chance, don’t hesitate. No matter what tour he leads, we’re sure it will be excellent. Thank you so much, Bruno! Viktoria and Daniele from Zurich

Nuno gave a good tour, with lots of interesting anecdotes, avoiding dull history and not afraid to deal with tough subjects, such as the Portuguese revolution, expulsion of the Jews, and much, much more. Learned a lot and enjoyed - even tried his recommendation for a bifula, the famed Portuguese sandwich and his pastry recommendation was great, too.

Great walking tour. Antonio was very helpful, professional and funny. We would definitely request him again. Great all round experience.

这个行程非常有趣，讲了很多关于里斯本的历史。导游也非常幽默，知识渊博。

We had an amazing walking tour experience—our guide António was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing rich history and local insights in such an engaging way. He was also genuinely funny, which made the whole tour enjoyable and easy to follow. What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful he was, always checking in on the group and making sure everyone felt included and comfortable. Truly a fantastic guide who made exploring Lisbon even more memorable!

Maria was a great tour guide and we enjoyed the treats along the way.

Telma was a fantastic tour guide! I learned so much about the city and its history from her. There was so much noise going on around us but she made sure that all of us could hear her and moved to quieter spaces when possible. She was so accommodating and was such a lovely singer! I truly felt part of the city. Would definitely recommend her and this walking tour!

Francisco was very articulate and informative. Great introduction to history and culture of Lisbon. Feel lucky to have had him as our guide.

Fraga was an amazing guide! His excitement and love of the city shined through. Knowledge of the history and stories about the city was unparalleled. Loved his recommendations at the end of the tour for lunch and drinks!

Jorge was great. So very knowledgeable and entertaining. We were surprised with a local pastry along the way. The tour actually lasted closer to 4 hours and I enjoyed every moment.

Very informative with history and local knowledge

Maria was friendly and professional. She made a point of speaking to each group individually. I appreciated the list of suggestions she shared at the end

Antonio is an incredible tour guide. He brings Lisbon history alive with his lively and interesting stories and facts. Thank you Antonio!

Telma gave us a deeply felt tour of her beloved home, with plenty of historical and cultural information and talk about the current problems that cities like Lisbon face. Telma has an excellent singing voice and her telling of the 1974 revolution, with the two songs played on the radio to signal the event had her group spellbound.

Rita was an exceptional tour guide! She shared a lot of interesting information about Portugal’s history and random fun facts. We went all throughout 4 different neighborhoods, which was very helpful for the beginning of our trip. I do free tours in every city I visit and Rita was one of the top 2 tour guides I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this tour and Rita!

This was a fabulous 3 hour walking tour which started in Praca Luis de Camoes ending at the top of Alfama. It gave us a very good background of Lisbon, its people & culture. Our guide Maria held a PhD in Ethnomusicology and my friend was a huge Fado music fan so she was a perfect guide showing us some key Fado music houses around Bairro Alto. We were also lucky to have had a good group of people who kept up with the walk with good questions & good humour. Maria had such good historical knowledge that at the end of the tour, we could cite the names of Portugal’s national heroes. Along the tour, we stopped off at a Pasteis de Nata shop along Rua Augusta where Maria treated us to a tart each, before heading towards Alfama where along the uphill walk route we all enjoyed a little Ginjinha made by locals & finished the tour with a beautiful view on top of the hill. We totally enjoyed our tour with Maria & would highly recommend both her & GuruWalk highly !

Great tour with Beatriz - she was interesting and funny and we had a good experience

This was far too long 4 hours

I didn't know what to expect going into the tour but it was a pleasant surprise in every way possible. Fraga is an amazing storyteller and I knew nothing about Portuguese history or Lisbon before coming here and this tour was a great way to learn so much and see the city while getting oriented for the days ahead. There was fun surprises here and there and overall the walk was not bad at all and time flew by. Amazing and would recommend to anyone going to Lisbon.

Our tour with Fraga was excellent - very fun and a perfect way to explore Lisboa. Lots of history shared in a really engaging way and really enjoyed stopping for Pastéis de Nata and then Ginjinha from chocolate cups. Fraga made sure to make everybody feel included in the tour, was able to answer questions well and make it a really great experience.

This was a fantastic tour to get to know the history and neighborhoods of Lisbon highly recommend

Our guide Kleiber was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining and answered all our questions in detail.
