Lissabon City of Spies Tour
Beskrivelse
I 2. verdenskrig bevæbnet Lissabon med spioner fra de vigtigste sider i konflikt. En vandretur designet til at finde ud af, hvor neutralt Portugal gav den naturlige ramme for sammensværgelse. Inde i Lissabon holdt både de allierede og akserne imponerende diplomatiske tjenester: sandsynligvis det eneste sted i krigsherjede Europa, hvor alle sider var i stand til at mødes på lige grunde. Lissabon blev pludselig et sandt ”reden af spioner” som nævnt i adskillige periode kronikker, og ”flyet til Lissabon”, som en flugtvej i filmen Casablanca, er stadig et af de mest kendte eksempler. I denne vandretur besøger du nogle af de steder, der er relateret til spionhistorierne om: De mest berømte spionhoteller i Lissabon Flygtninge og de europæiske modetrends Den portugisiske konsuls ensomme kamp i Bordeaux Den vigtigste WWII-dobbeltagent: Garbo / Arabel Historien om den rigtige James Bond Det jødiske guld og wolframtrafikken

We had a great time with Jose learning about the spies and double spies and counter spies during this tour! He was really knowledgeable and answered our questions! Only feedback would be finding seating where possible if standing for longish periods of time, particularly for the older people on tour.
This was an outstanding and very informative tour. The walk wasn't difficult, and there was time to catch your breath along the way. Highly recommend if you're interested in WWII spy history.
I booked direct with them. Communications were clear. I knew exactly where to meet them. Not only did I learn many things I didn’t know about, but he took us to places I wouldn’t have gone into on my own. Lots of interesting stories. Not too much walking, a few steps to go up. Very personable.
José has a wealth of knowledge and we enjoyed learning about Portugal’s fascinating history. Thanks for a fun tour.
Check the weather and make sure you are wearing the right clothes. Also wear good walking shoes. Great walking tour!
It was an interesting tour packed with lots of information during the almost three hours. It was almost a bit too long. At times it was difficult to hear the guide given the big group of 16. The guide had good humor and an entertaining style.
This was possibly THE most informative walking tour I've ever taken! Jose was incredibly knowledgeable and detailed, and yet it was obvious he was only skimming the surface of what he knew. And he's a great storyteller -- really engaging! All in all, a wonderfully enjoyable afternoon!
Not just WW2 espionage, but also historical and cultural context that enhanced our entire trip. Jose was terrific, extremely knowledgeable with an engaging and (when appropriate) entertaining presentation.
Filipa is a very knowledgeable guide who tells fun and intriguing stories on the Lisbon: City of Spies tour. Getting a better understanding of a less well known part of WW2 from a Portuguese perspective is enlightening. Would also be fun/interesting to understand thoughts and opinions of Filipa and other tour leaders regarding European history and politics (20th century to present).
Our guide provided a fascinating and in-depth story about Lisbon during WWII and showed us the historical places where all the intrigue took place.
