アルファマ：万華鏡地区-プライベートウォーキングツアー

Luis was incredibly well prepared, he really knew his stuff! He chose an easy meeting place that allowed us to largely walk downhill which made the tour easier. I felt like I really got to see all the important parts of Alfama and was much better equipped to explore on my own afterwards. Would highly recommend!

If you are into history, this tour was very good. Luis is a very knowledgeable guide who is very passionate about the subject. He showed us interesting locations and details that we would have certainly missed on our own. Walking through Alfama’s narrow streets is the only way to truly appreciate this neighborhood. It was an interesting tour.

The private tour of the Alfama district with our guide Luis (who speaks impeccable French) was very interesting and a perfect introduction for a first stay in Lisbon, thanks to all his explanations. We highly recommend it!

Luis was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He prepared materials and information to give us a better idea of Lisbon and Alfama. He also tries to pepper his tours with fun facts to make it more interactive. This is reflective of his profession of being an educator of Philosophy. If you are looking for a real walking tour where the guide understands Lisbon inside out and is able to readily chat through historical events (and not scripted), Luis is your guy. We highly recommend a private tour with him if you want to understand Alfama for what it is.

Luis is a sociology professor and was easy to understand and extremely knowledgeable. He answered our questions (even when random) and was extremely flexible - checking in on us for length, amount of detail, etc to make sure we were satisfied, comfortable, and happy. He’s obviously passionate about the city and was happy to give a lively tour of the area. Definitely exceeded expectations! Because alfama is dense in culture and history, it wasn’t a strenuous walk, we stopped frequently to learn about the area. We only covered a small distance, mostly downhill from starting point. In that time we covered a few millenniums of history - not bad!

Luis transforms a rainy day into a sunny, pleasant and super interesting morning. A stroll through the streets of Alfama which reveals the archaeological and religious history of this district which remains very endearing. THANKS

What a brilliant tour! Our guide, Luis, was able to talk about all of the history, culture, and interesting facts of Alfama. He answered all my questions really well and was very thorough. Luis was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this experience :) thank you!

Luis explained the history about Alfama very enthusiatically and knowledgeably, and walk us to the meaningful places, not for just sightseeing but for learning. The only reservation we had was about the restaurant he recommended. The bathroom was smelly that we could even smell from where we sat a few tables away. A cock roach fell on our plate from somewhere when we were eating.

Meet for the first time in 2019, visiting a Lisbon neighborhood with Luis is to treat yourself to a visit rich in history and anecdotes but also places out of the classics that you could see with a paper guide. Originality and good humor guaranteed. Luis is local, passionate and erudite. You can call on him without hesitation.

There are probably cheaper tours available but they will lack the depth of knowledge and passionate connection to Lisbon’s illustrious history. Our guide was not only a great source of information but genuinely wanted to cover topics that we found interesting. We saw several large group tours that were very formulaic and less personalized, which made us appreciate our decision. Highly recommended!!
