Overview

Imagine a spy mission in 15th century Lisbon. It's 1498, and the city prepares to send the first expedition to mysterious India. The stakes couldn't be higher: Columbus and his Spanish caravels have reached an "India" in the West. Now the Portuguese try achieving their goal by heading east under Vasco da Gama's command. Who will claim India's spices and treasures? You're a Spanish spy sent by Queen Isabella: infiltrate Vasco da Gama's expedition at any cost. During this self-guided walking tour, you'll visit main historical sites in Baixa and Alfama, learn fascinating facts and immerse yourself in a spy adventure where YOU are the hero. Encounter enemies, play subtle games with astronomers, captains and navigators, then charm da Gama and the king. For 2 hours, become Agent 007 of the Age of Discoveries — a hero in a stunning historical thriller. You'll get an email with a link and a code after purchase. Go to the starting point when you're ready, start the tour, and let it lead the way
