We had a great time with Igor walking the backstreets of Lisbon , hearing the history of the area and personal stories about the people who lived here. We never would have stumbled into this area and understood all the history around us. Igor was very knowledgeable and answered our questions with a very easy going manner. His pride in the city and love of the Portuguese culture came through and influenced all of us. I would recommend this tour with Igor to anyone who wants to really get a feel of the city and the people who live there.
This was an excellent tour for the money. I learned tons about Lisbon its history and culture! Highly recommend! Be prepared to walk, it is worth it seeing so much history done in a fun way!
Igor was a very knowledgeable guide and gave such great insight to the history and culture of the Portuguese people and architecture in the area. We would highly recommend Street Buddha (and Igor) for a truly authentic experience while visiting Lisbon!
Igor was an amazing guide. He gave us an incredible tour of Alfama and surrounding neighborhoods. Insightful, passionate, and local. It made our trip to Lisbon!
Such a pleasure to share the passion of your guide for their beloved city. All the history and back street gems - full of knowledge and good humour. Kept the teens engaged as well with fables and street art trivia, great food and music recommendations too
Enjoyed the walk and all the nooks and crannies of Lisbon with the personal and personalities. Igor was a wonderful guide
Igor is an excellent guide. He makes you feel like family and really cares about showing people his city. Highly recommend this tour!
Thanks to Igor for a great tour of Alfama! I learned so much of the people of Lisboa! It an amazing full 3 hours tour. Prepare to walk up and down a lot, bring a bottle of water, wear tennis shoes!
We loved the fact that we (2 couples) could book a tour exclusively for us! That meant a lot to us, because we could do everything innour own space! Igor was really knowledgable and also a very sweet person. We learned a lot from him and got to suck in the true portugese soul! The tour really lived up to its name! We loved it, and tomorrow we will go to Sintra for a full day trip with him, also exclusive for us! We cannot wait! Thank you for showing us your beautiful town.
Can not be more grateful for the amazing street tour Igor gave our group. I feel we got to experience "true" Portuguese living. Very informative, very accommodating to our interests. Thanking for bringing us to Deolinda Rocha's studio to purchase handmade tiles. Your information on Jose Saramago was so interesting that the book "Blindness" was waiting for me when we got home.
