So how can i put in words my experience in this tour? Ill start with the way Teddy introduced himself(Guide) before we started the tour really he wants to get to know each one of you, so its a more intimate experience and also , i wont tell more so i wont spoil it. Overall i felt it's truly is a local multicultural experience because you walk through many streets around the area and you feel and you see and talk with so many different different cultural and people from different nationalities all integrated in the same community, what i felt was that Teddy didn't just talk and show you the typical mainstream themes that turism gets, there is awareness from the current situation also so you can understand some of the perpective of the people that live in the area, when i did the tour it was really fun it was a very famous portuguese traditional celebrations called the Saint Anthony Festival the streets were crowed, he managed himself really well, so i recommend this tour for who is willing to really get to know the hidden gems in Lisbon and you will get to know them in this tour.

We had our tour during a major Lisbon holiday and Teddy had to adjust for the situation. He let us know going in and did a great job of taking us around areas of Lisbon most tourists won’t see. Every single place was a hidden gem. A lot of tours advertise that, but Teddy delivers. He even extended the tour for a few of us who wanted to go to his favorite spot. He went way above what is expected and gave us 2 extra hours of his time. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to explore new neighborhoods and see a more authentic side of Lisbon.
Such a unique and impactful tour. Focused on community and sharing the authentic stories of Lisboa’s residents. Teddy is an excellent guide taking us on a magical journey through his Lisbon
This is more than a tour, it's a night out with friends. Teddy will take you places you probably wouldn't discover on your own, and he will always make sure you enjoy every bit of it. He's a great storyteller and makes it so easy to connect to others. You will see Lisbon with different eyes after this night.
Highly recommend! This trip was the highlight of my time in Lisbon, my experience in the city and the memories it left wouldn’t have been the same without this trip. I enjoyed every bit of it and learned so much. Teddy is an an amazing host, very thorough, has great stories to tell and made this experience so fun, free and enlightening!
I am so incredibly happy that I was destined to be a part of Teddy's journey! The entire experience was so uplifting, and I am forever grateful to Teddy and the amazing, free-spirited people I shared it with. The energy and connection between everyone was just beautiful. I loved the unique and inspiring stories Teddy shared about Lisbon's history, music, arts, food, and people in different areas of the city. It was a deeply magical experience, and that feeling will stay with me forever. Thank you, Teddy, for being the heart and soul of this unforgettable adventure! Thank you for sharing your light with us!
You could not get a more helpful & thoughtful guide than Teddy. He spent over 6 hours with just me and my daughter showing us many interesting aspects of multicultural Lisbon. His communication before the tour is excellent and he ensured and checked that we got back to our hotel safely. He goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a good stay in Lisbon not just on his tour but throughout your stay. Going on his tour enabled me to have two great nights in Lisbon with lovely people in places that I wouldn’t have gone to by myself. Thank you so much Teddy!
Teddy was a great guide, plenty of nice and fun stories. And i got to experience and live and understand what Lisbon is truly like
Teddy led us on an unforgettable tour! Great value, great community and a great time!
Lisbon came to life through Teddy’s experience. It’s one of the best ways to truly connect with the city, its culture, and its people. Teddy is an exceptional host, from the moment you book, he starts creating a genuine connection with you, because that is what this experience is really about: human connection. Through connection, empathy is built. This is not just a tour; it’s an experience you have to fully embrace. Come with an open mind and an open heart, open to surprises, to meaningful conversations, and to whatever Lisbon has waiting for you. Leave judgment behind and simply allow yourself to experience it. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a much deeper feeling for the city.
