プライベートツアー - リスボンのアフリカの歴史

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.

Our guide was very thorough and able to provide a different perspective to the culture of Lisbon and Portugal.

I enjoyed learning the African history of Lisbon. The route was perfect and I appreciate having a book to show the before and after. Filipa was very knowledgeable and I recommend this tour

Filipa was so lovely and warm and very knowledgeable about this history - we saw many landmarks and learned about key historical figures and we also had some amazing discussions about history and current affairs over coffee and pastel de natas. I left wanting to research more about what I had learnt that day. Thank you Filipa! I will be back for more!

This tour with Filipa was one of the best I have been on. She was friendly, informative and thoughtful in her analysis of the experience of African people in Lisbon, and Portugal as a whole since the start of Portugal’s existence. She also incorporated other groups of people and events in Portugal’s history into her analysis of the African experience then and now. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and feel that it complimented tours I have taken in other countries but also more than stands on its own. I thank Filipa so much for providing this perspective!

An eye opening experience in learning African history in Lisbon!! Spending the morning on the walking tour throughout downtown Lisbon with Filipa, gave me a deeper insight on the contributions and struggles of Africans within Portuguese society dating back to the 16th century to present day. During the tour, she answered our questions with relative ease and provided historical information to serve as a visual aid to support her position. I recommend tourists to book a tour with Filipa to learn the African history of Portugal for it was well worth the cost! You will not regret the experience for persons will walk away with a different outlook on life!
