Overview

First time in Lisbon? This is the perfect way to get to know the major attractions of the city: Baixa, Chiado, Bairro Alto and Alfama

Lisbon can be a challenge with so many hills and steep streets. In this tour I believe, every effort is worthwhile and the views we will enjoy from two of the most iconic hills are breathtaking.

This is a private and exclusive tour. It means that it will just be you or your group on the tour.
