Lissabon-Aufenthalt

Very timely pickup. Very pleasant and well informed. Responded to all questions with thorough explanation and historical references. Knows ancient and recent history. Very easy to talk too and very complete tour. We were both very pleased with our introduction to Portugal. Highly recommend.

Great way to spend a layover in Lisbon. Elisabete was an excellent guide with extensive knowledge about the history of the area. I would highly recommend her as well as this tour.

We took this tour instead of waiting for our accommodations to be ready. What an absolutely fabulous way to see the city like a local!!! Thank you Alex, we enjoyed the tour thoroughly.

Here’s a polished, natural version of your review: We had the best time on this tour! Elisabete was our guide, and when I say she knows the history of Portugal, I truly mean she is an expert. She shared so much fascinating information at every stop and even took the time to answer all of my random questions. I like asking locals about everyday life, culture, and traditions—not just the typical tourist questions—and she was able to answer everything, making the experience feel personal and authentic. Elisabete was also incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. The vehicle was clean and she was a real safe driver. We even had the opportunity to meet her husband, who co-owns the company with her. If he’s anything like Elisabete, I’m sure he’s an amazing guide as well. It’s clear they both genuinely love what they do and are passionate about sharing their beautiful country with visitors. When I return to Portugal—and I definitely will—I wouldn’t book with anyone else. After researching several companies, I can confidently say I highly recommend this one if you’re looking for an authentic, unforgettable experience. Thank you, Elisabete, for creating memories my family and I will cherish forever. We loved every minute of it!

This was a great tour. Elizabete was amazing and very informative! The airport pickup was very smooth. We saw many sights and learned a lot about the history of Lisbon.

Alex was an excellent guide—informative, interesting, and attentive. His command of English and Portuguese history were academic-level, without being pedantic. Highly recommend!

Totally private experience for two of us with Elisabete who was fantastic! Excellent communication beforehand. Confirmed all of our travel logistics. Picked us up at airport without any issues. Met us inside terminal. Had new, clean Mercedes van - plenty of room. Wonderful tour around Lisbon for four hours. Covered all the key stops. Elisabete made sure to accommodate our interests in with great local food stops. Very engaging the whole time. Dropped us at train station after for our train to South Portugal. Elisabete is very patient, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Shares fascinating Portuguese history in easy—to-digest way. Highly recommend Elisabete and the layover tour!

Alex is an awesome tour guide -- the best I found in Portugal during my week-long vacation in the country. Over the course of his 4-hour "Lisbon Layover" tour, I got a rich historical journey, describing points of interest as they fit into the centuries of history in this fascinating city. Alex is thoughtful and intellectual, sprinkling in varied perspectives as we touched upon many of the turning points of Lisbon's history: industrial, religious, political, and cultural. I also appreciated the unique "layover" format of the tour; he picked me up from the airport with my bags and ended the tour at my hotel room. What better way to get a ride to your hotel? His Mercedes van was clean, comfortable, and very accommodating; he had bottles of water and even provided a portable power bank for me when my phone battery was running low (from taking photos!). Finally, I just thought that Alex was a lot of fun to hang with. He is funny and welcoming, showing me several of the best places to eat in Lisbon (from the perspective of a local) and adding personal stories and jokes along the way. The 4 hours flew by. I will definitely look for Alex again the next time I'm in Lisbon and will recommend him to all of my friends.

My wife and I recently took a transatlantic cruise that disembarked in Lisbon. We had a better part of the day to spend in the area before we had to catch our flight to London later that evening. We wanted to make the most of our time in this beautiful city and a friend highly recommended Alex. Fortunately Alex was available and picked us up at the cruise terminal, showed us around Lisbon before dropping us off at the airport. Alex is very professional, knowledgeable and put together a great day showing us the sights of the Lisbon area that also included a nice little restaurant in Cascais and a tour of the Pena Palace. We left planning a return trip when we can spend more time. If you are planning a trip to Portugal I would recommend Alex.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the Best Tours We’ve Ever Taken! Our tour with Alex from Top Ten Tours in Lisbon was absolutely fantastic. Lisbon is such a magical and beautiful city, and Alex made the experience even more special. His knowledge of the history, architecture, and culture of Lisbon is impressive, and he shares it in such an engaging and friendly way that the whole tour feels natural and fun. We enjoyed it so much that we actually did the tour again during a layover in Lisbon! That was our second time with Alex, and it was just as great as the first. It’s rare to repeat a tour, but this experience is truly worth it. If you’re visiting Lisbon, we highly recommend this tour. Alex is an amazing guide who truly loves his city, and it shows. We will definitely do it again. Next time: Cintra and Porto!
