プライベートツアー - リスボンのアフリカの歴史

This was an absolutely amazing tour. Our guide Philipa was knowledgeable and passionate which enhanced her delivery. She was so patient and transparent in responding to all our many, many questions. The tour left us wanting to know more - could have spent the entire day with her. This tour provided a nice mix of history and contemporary understanding of the culture. The stopping points also highlighted the beauty of the city’s architecture and neighborhoods. Travelers should know this is a very physical tour ~ lots of walking but well Worth it! Our friends went the next day and had the same wonderful experience. Just. EXCELLENT!

Excellent tour. Our guide was outstanding. I have already recommended the tour to two sets of friends.

Our guide, Flippa, was outstanding. She provided valuable historical insight into Lisbon and Portugal, highlighting the significant contributions of enslaved Africans to the country’s history, culture, and development.

Our tour guide Filipa was friendly and able to answer all of our questions and provide context. The walk wasn’t too bad. Would definitely recommend for history nerds. She was able to provide a lot of historical context to past and present Portugal.

Filipia gives a phenomenal walking tour of Lisbon. She is not just knowledgeable about the history of Africans in Portugal, she is extremely passionate about how their contributions and disenfranchisement is still relevant in Lisbon and other Portuguese territories today. She also knows the city like the back of her hand so I recommend doing her tour early during your visit so she can show you the elevators/lifts that make navigating the city easier. This tour is a must for people who want to understand the entire story of Portugal.

Filipa was an amazing guide. I appreciated how she explained the history thoroughly and in an engaging way and connected it to the present. The views were beautiful and the walking was relaxing.

Myself, my partner and adult child took this private tour on a beautiful warm day. Filipa, our guide met us at the door of the Rossio station with a welcoming smile, and thus began an engaging 3 hour tour where Filipa led us through a little known and appreciated aspect of the history of Lisbon- the contribution of Africans to this city. Filipa is passionate about her work, to educate the public to the voice of the unsung whose echoes lie in the very steps of some of the most visible locations in downtown Lisbon. I highly recommend this tour if you’re willing to go beyond the typical and learn the forgotten, and at times unsavory história de Lisboa. And if you can, cap the experience with a meal at one of Lisbon’s Afro-Portuguese restaurants recommended by Filipa. We had lunch at Mambo, and I can genuinely say it was one of the friendliest, warmest meal services I ever had anywhere in the world!

An eye opening and emotional experience. Filipa was amazing and very knowledgeable. She did such an awesome job taking you through the revolutionary experience. I would take her tour again and highly recommend. If your trip brings you anywhere near Lisbon, consider booking with Filipa ❤️

Filipina introduced me to a well-researched and historically integrated history of Portugal (generally) and Lisboa specifically! I was awed by her command of so much history that centers the integral African contributions to the Portuguese culture. Our tour was so thorough that I spent the rest of my week revisiting all the places on our tour for closer exploration. I will definitely return to Lisbon as a result of one of the finest “welcome to my country” tours I’ve ever experienced.

This was a highly informative walking tour highlighting the African experience and impact in Portugal. Filippa was very well versed on the history as well as passionate about the topic. I really enjoyed that it was a private tour- just the two of us- which allowed for more in depth discussion and questions. I would definitely recommend this experience if you are looking to explore Lisbon from a different perspective.
