Tour description

Come discover the beautiful and bohemian centre of historical Lisbon.

We kick things of surfing the black waves paving Rossio Square and the echoes it brings us of the old portuguese empire stretching it's arms across the Atlantic, all the way to the exotic lands of Brazil. No stone left unturned. The catholic church and it's mad tales of religious fundamentalism. Street art and the pope. The terror of the great earthquake and the city crumbling underneath the medieval moorish castle.
The food and the delusional heroes. The popular saint and the forgotten one. The arab heritage and Alfama, where the tour ends, swaying along the melancholy rythms of Fado, soul of the portuguese made song.
All of this and much more!
Let's go!
