Visite privée de la ville de Lisbonne
Description
Notre mission est de garantir votre satisfaction et de vous faire connaître le Portugal du peuple portugais dans les visites de petits groupes. Nous devons offrir un environnement détendu et authentique, où le changement d’expériences et de connaissances fait partie intégrante du voyage. Nous aimons ce que nous faisons et où nous vivons et voulons partager cette passion avec ceux qui nous visitent. À la fin de la journée, notre plus grand plaisir est de réaliser que nos visiteurs sont également tombés amoureux. Nous pensons que le trajet combiné et la visite à pied sont un moyen très complet de visiter Lisbonne et d’avoir une idée complète de la ville.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nous commençons la visite en haut de l'ascenseur de Santa Justa, une des icônes de Lisbonne, un bel ascenseur de style néogothique construit au XIXe siècle par Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard. La vue d'en haut nous permet de voir tout le centre-ville de Lisbonne, son château et sa cathédrale.
Après l'ascenseur, nous passons par Chiado et longons le fleuve en direction de Belém, la partie impérialiste et plus monumentale de Lisbonne. Nous parlons de l'histoire des découvertes portugaises au bord de la mer et des grands navigateurs, comme Vasco da Gama et Pedro Álvares Cabral. À ce stade, nous allons visiter la cathédrale attendaculaire de Sainte Marie de Belém, l'une des plus belles cathédrales gothiques du Portugal.
Il est maintenant temps de goûter au célèbre "Pastel de Nata" portugais, une tarte coustarde servie tiède dans ce célèbre café qui fabrique ce produit depuis 1837, selon une ancienne recette des moines qui vivaient à côté.
Il est maintenant temps de passer au bord du fleuve, en voiture, et d'aller à la tour Belém, autre immense icône de Lisbonne, et expression maximale de l'arquitechture portugaise, de style manuélin
Ensuite, nous nous dirigerons vers l’étonnant monument des découvertes, une immense statue construite en 1940 pour rendre hommage à toutes les personnes impliquées dans l’ère des découvertes, sans aucun doute notre époque d’or.
Après avoir quitté Belém, nous quittons également Lisbonne pour une courte période et nous dirigeons vers la ville d’Almada, juste à la limite sud du Tage. Par le pont du 25 avril, nous arrivons à ce sanctuaire, avec la meilleure vue plus panoramique sur Lisbonne (vous pouvez aller au sommet de la statue de 100 m).
C'est maintenant l'heure du déjeuner, nous allons à Cacilhas, la jetée d'Almada, où vous pourrez déguster les meilleurs fruits de mer à Lisbonne et dans les environs.
Après le déjeuner, retour à Lisbonne et direction la vieille ville de Lisbonne, en longeant la rivière. Nous passons par Alcântara, le quartier de Santos et la place Cais do Sodré avec son célèbre marché Time Out. Avant de grimper au sommet de la colline de Graça, nous passons sur la place Comercio, la plus grande et la plus magnifique place de Lisbonne, juste à côté du fleuve.
En quittant la rivière et en remontant le château et la colline de Graça, nous passons devant la cathédrale de Lisbonne, un édifice romane construit au XIIe siècle, qui est devenu le monument le plus ancien de Lisbonne, encore en usage. En suivant le chemin qui mène à Graça, nous passons par la visite touristique de Portas do Sol, juste sous le château de Lisbonne.
Lorsque nous atteignons le sommet de la colline de Graça, nous nous arrêtons au point de vue de Senhora do Monte pour profiter de toute la beauté de la ville qui s’étend le long des collines jusqu’à la rivière.
Enfin, nous garons la voiture et nous promenons dans le quartier d’Alfama, le plus ancien et le plus authentique de Lisbonne. Nous pouvons découvrir l'authenticité du lieu et comprendre le contexte social de centaines de générations qui ont passé et vécu dans ce lieu. C'est l'endroit où la musique Fado est née. À la fin de la promenade, nous nous arrêtons au musée Fado et le guide apporte la voiture pour le ramassage.

We had an amazing day exploring Lisbon with Joao! He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture. What really stood out was how he took us beyond the usual tourist spots — showing us local favorites and hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. Joao’s passion for Lisbon made the whole experience special, and he tailored the day perfectly to our interests. If you want to truly see the heart of the city and learn from someone who loves it, I can’t recommend Joao enough!
Thank you very much Blake and family, it was a real pleasure to tour you around Portugal. All the best my friend
Our tour of Sintra with Joao was incredible! His knowledge, sense of humor and warmth made the day truly unforgettable! The gorgeous scenery, delicious food and learning the history of this beautiful region was special. We didn’t feel like we were on an “tour” but traveling with a local friend. Our day with Joao was perfection!
Thank you very much, my goal is to my guests to feel that they are visiting with a local friend, learning and visiting in a easygoing and relaxed way. We did Sintra and Lisbon in two different days and it was a pleasure to host you, All the best
Joao was a great host! This was a perfect way to get an overview of the entire city. We hit all the highlights. Recommended.
Thank you very much Linda, it was a pleasure to host you around Lisbon, all the best
Travel can be challenging in general, but traveling with special needs requires additional adaptability and patience. We can be hesitant if not outright skeptical of adventures with my son and (autistic) daughter in unfamiliar places. But Joao changed all that... Over the course of seven days, we toured Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Cabo de Roca, Óbidos, Aveiro, Porto, and a brief excursion to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Over that period, we had an air flight delay (upon arrival), (limited) attraction closures due to the possibility of forest fires, and other uncontrollable circumstances. It didn't matter. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Joao knows Portugal and can pivot with the best of them! He will pay attention as he gets to know his clients, propose adjustments or share his personal insights to not just guide you - but acclimate you to Portugal. His grasp of the country - its culture, economy, history, gastronomy, night life, influence on other countries, etc. - is limitless. We always had a reasonable game plan for the day, but flexibility to adjust based on my daughter's capabilities. It's also important to note that Joao was curious. He (respectfully) asked questions to learn more about my daughter and how she saw things, processed her surroundings, etc. It showed me that he wanted to make this an unforgettable experience for her - and he was going to figure it out! As for my son, they loved quizzing each other on geography, politics, and generally laughing along the way. Joao shared stories of his adventures with his children and we all felt like we were no longer with a tour operator but a family friend. We were traveling with extended family on this trip, and we all had positive, reaffirming moments where Joao took time to connect, to share and to engage. We are so glad that we had this adventure in Portugal, but we are truly grateful that our family had it with Joao.
Thank you from the heart RoseAnn, your words means a lot to me. It was fantastic to learn and see how you masterly managed Amber along our trip was really an inspiration. I loved our trip, you have a wonderfull family and for sure we see again, on this side or that side of the Atlantic. A big hug from Lisbon
My extended family (7 of us) were treated royally by Joao who managed to plan and execute an ambitious 9-day tour of Lisbon, Sintra, Porto, Obidos, Evora and Galicia (ES), such that a couple in their golden years were just as entertained as their 13-year-old grandson. Joao is gregarious, engaging and acutely sensitive to the needs of his clients, adapting with grace and facility to contingencies. While the trip was planned to almost every detail, his wit, charm and persistence secured favorable outcomes for us with vendors he knows and does not know (e.g. last-minute tables, tickets, etc.). His encyclopedic knowledge of Portuguese history, culture and international affairs sparked spirited dialogue with mutual respect and learning during our long drives and tours. Most of all, Joao's passion and love for his home country is infectious and left us with a keen interest in returning to explore more (hopefully with him)! Go Green!
Ohh my, what a review. I can't thank you enough for your amazing words. We had a blast all together, it was a fantastic trip with the best company. Thank you very much, looking forward to our next adventures. All the best
We had two great tour days with João. He was very informative, and quickly knew what we liked and how to tailor the day for us. I would highly recommend João to anyone looking for a fantastic, energetic, knowledgeable and fun guide who has tons of experience throughout Portugal.
