Itinerary
The classy and exclusive boulevard of Lisbon's city centre
The neuralgic centre of Lisbon, reborn after the earthquake of 1755 offers a fantastic original Portuguese cobbling featuring a wavy pattern, combining black and white stones. It's the perfect place to start understanding the history of this lovely city!
An astonishing early XX century elevator, that not only is a piece of work seen from its outside as it provides one of the most beautiful views over the city from its top.
An iconic noble immense square that will take you back in time. By the river, imagine all that happened here throught the history: the arrivals' pier, the royal palace and much more!
This is the magnificient main pedestrian street of Lisbon's downtown area, crowned by the splendurous triumphal arch that leads to the riverside.
Serenity and romanticism blended with one of the finest views over the river in Lisbon. Breathtaking might be the best word to describe it but I'd risk saying it's a bit more than that.
Where Lisbon is still hidden in its past. This charming old neighbourhood layed between the blue water of River Tagus and the castle, is the oldest in the city: a maze of narrow cobbled streets crowned by one of my favourite viewpoints up the hill.
The 2 World Heritage Sites classified by Unesco in Lisbon: the 16th century Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower
Delight yourself with the original and delicious Pastéis de Belém at the Old Factory from 1837!
A very special neighbourhood to me, truly meaningful. Not to be missed! In Chiado you can still feel every episode that happened on its streets, squares, churches, bookstores, theatres, shops, cafes... Chiado is unique and has kept its elegance and bohemian style till the present times.

Our family had an amazing day with Marta! She is an excellent guide and being driven from location to location was a very efficient use of our time. Marta is warm, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. I was given her name by a friend, and I also recommend her to everyone I know that plans to visit Lisbon.
Marta was wonderful. She picked us up where we were with a group tour and very timely. Marta was personable and very knowledgeable. She was very accommodating and made us feel at ease. Marta also has a great sense of humor and took us where we wanted to go. I would highly recommend her to anyone traveling to Lisbon.
We loved every minute of our tour with Marta. We felt like we were truly getting an insiders view of Lisbon. She far exceeded our expectations and provided us with lots of helpful information even after our tour ended. We feel like we have a friend in Portugal now, and we look forward to sharing tours with Marta with our friends and family that are coming with us next year!
I have travelled extensively and have had many guides, but Marta is the “Best of the Best.” First of all, she is a certified local guide and has much authentic knowledge, which is not always the case with guides. Secondly, she is very personable and makes you laugh. She brings fun to the tour. Thirdly, she is prompt and efficient. Our hotel was on a hill and a taxi would not take us to the hotel. Marta knew her way and picked us up right at the door. And finally, she is an excellent driver—and when you see the hills in Portugal, you will understand why that is so important!
We spent two days with Marta touring Lisbon, Sintra and Cascaise. It was fabulous! Her knowledge of the history, interesting stories and fabulous places for pictures truly made our trip a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Marta for touring on your visit to Lisbon and the surrounding areas!
We did a full day Lisbon city tour and also a full day Sintra/Peña Palace/Cascais tour with Marta. Marta was not only an outstanding guide but also an excellent host for Lisbon. She was passionate about her country and her work, and genuinely cared about our interests. She was a very safe driver and her vehicle was spotless. We will surely engage Marta again on our next trip to Portugal!
Marta took us around Lisbon in lockdown. She was knowledgeable, passionate and made the tour so much fun! It really did feel like we were having a walking tour (though obviously we missed out on Pastéis de Belém - custard tarts!) It was so refreshing to have a "trip" to a new place, definitely recommended!!!
COVID cancelled our trip to Portugal from New Zealand. We needn’t have worried because Marta made us feel like we were there after all. The technology worked perfectly Marta was friendly cheerful generous with her time and so knowledgeable. One day we hope to get to Lisbon and have an in person tour with her.
