Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Rendez-vous en début d'après-midi avec votre guide dans le centre de Lisbonne et commencez votre ascension dans les collines étroites du quartier d'Alfama.
Découvrez le quartier d'Alfama, l'un des quartiers les plus charmants et les plus colorés du Portugal. C'était l'un des rares districts à avoir survécu à un tremblement de terre dévastateur en 1755 et une grande partie de son architecture d'origine est restée.
Admirez l’imposant complexe à tourelles du château Saint-Georges, qui se dresse au sommet d’une colline d’Alfama surplombant le scintillant fleuve Tage. Aventurez-vous au cœur d'Alfama en suivant votre guide dans des dédales de rues étroites si serrées que vous pouvez toucher les deux côtés avec les bras tendus.
Montez à Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, l'un des points de vue les plus hauts et les plus fabuleux de toute la ville. À partir de là, la vue panoramique s'étend sur tout Lisbonne et vous pourrez voir les autres collines de la ville, ainsi que le luisant fleuve Tage.
Quartier traditionnel de la classe ouvrière, Alfama est toujours populaire parmi les pêcheurs et leurs familles, et vous pourrez même peut-être rencontrer des gens vendant du poisson frais dans des étals en bordure de route. Arrêtez-vous pour admirer la cathédrale de Lisbonne datant du XIIe siècle et passez devant le Panthéon national de Lisbonne où sont enterrés d’importantes personnalités locales, notamment des présidents, des dignitaires et un célèbre chanteur de fado.

Antonio was a sooooopa tour guide....lots of good information about Lisbon...highly recommend....Peter from Boston
I think it is the sixth tour I have done with the company and as always perfect, in this case Alejandra, brings you closer to old and current Lisbon, giving you many curious facts and tricks. We will repeat again
Cécilia was a great guide. Before the start of the tour she set the mood by explaining what we will see. She shared her knowledge and emotions elevating the walking tour significantly. Book it and enjoy.
Great tour. Highly recommend it if you're short on time and want a quick overview of Lisbon and the main attractions. Our guide Partick Hughes was very engaging and knowledgeable.
Thank you JIMMY for the perfect introduction to Lisbon! For me a walking tour is when the holiday truly begins. JIMMY made the tour so enjoyable for myself and my family. He had such a cheerful positive energy, gave such great detail and kept us all engaged This of course set the tone for all of us, talking and laughing with each other as we moved from spot to spot. Never hesitating to answer question/ and give great recommendations he really went above to ensure we got the best out of the tour. His balance of humour and sensitivity on certain topics came across so well. You’ll be lucky to have him as your guide and you’ll recognize him by his welcoming smile. Best wishes Marie, Isata (UK) & Sally (USA)
We first did a city centre walking tour with Rita and it was so impressive that we then booked an Alfama one with her the following day. Alfama is such a historic and intriguing area but having the insider knowledge really brought the place to life for us. It felt like Rita gave us a real glimpse into the Alfama of today, and yesteryear. She was such a genuine, engaging guide with a clear love for her city. The walking tours with her were definitely one of our highlights. Also she makes sure everyone keeps up and can manage....an advantage with the hills! Many thanks. Highly recommended.
Rita was a great tour guide with local knowledge and connections. She was well informed on the history of Alfama and Lisbon as well as modern developments in the area. She brought us to a "private" ginjinha bar run by an Alfama local who served us the tastiest ginjinha of our Lisbon stay.
Jaime aka Jimmy , out of five free walking tour I attended, got the second highest tip from me. With him, I felt like I was guided by a friend, a feeling I haven't got in the other four tours. His knowledge and his stories were also very pleasant to hear and almost at the same level as the best tour. I was lucky to have a tour with him and to enjoy a passionate city like Lisbon
We arrived in Lisbon on April 25. On 4/26 we were assigned a walking tour at 2pm with JIMI. We were very lucky to have him as our guide. He took his time as he showed us many of the highlights of Lisbon. He answerd all our questions and directed us to some fine restaurants.
I had mixed feelings about this tour. The Alfama neighbourhood was definitely fascinating to look at, explore and hear about. Something I had some reservations about was a couple of stops we made at some private residences. Both elderly men. One we were told we could sample some Ginjinha from and our donation would help cover his medical expenses. All of our guides during our stay in Lisbon mentioned the poor state of the economy and how people in the Alfama neighourhood in particular had it very tough. We were encouraged to peek inside and see how tiny his kitchen was. He certainly seemed happy, chatty and welcoming but I found it a little confronting as it certainly wasn't what I was expecting. I guess if the money from tourists genuinely does help him it's a good thing, but it did feel a little unethical, kind of like treating impoverished people like animals in a zoo. We made a second stop at another house just to briefly chat to another elderly gentleman who very clearly looked unwell, but again happy enough to see us. Our guide Antonio was very engaging and charming and seemed to have genuine connections/relationships with the men we visited.
