A wonderful tour on a sunlit Sunday through Old Lisbon. Our guide Rui was knowledgeable and respectful to our needs pacing it exactly right and in depth on Portugal's transatlantic slave trade and a history of Lisbon. It was a valuable piece of research for my next book Reflections Across a New Black Atlantic and thoroughly recommended.

We booked a tuk tuk tour for our first full day in Lisbon as we wanted to get a sense of where everything was and where to go back to. Our driver gave us some options about where we could go in the 3 hours and found out about what we were interested in, so the tour was a combination of the main highlights and some diversions to see some of the amazing street art that Lisbon has to offer. We got a sense of the character of the place by the time we finished and learned a huge amount in a very short time. We even learned first hand which is the best Ginjinha (Ginja D'Obidos) as we popped into a bar in the Alfama area to sample some in the traditional chocolate cups... and we had time for a coffee and Pastéis de Nata at one of the amazing view points over the city. If you are going to Lisbon, book this tour, you won't be disappointed!

Igor’s tour was absolutely fantastic. If you’re a big fan of street art this tour is for you because you’ll go to the places you won’t see in the guides. Igor is very passionate about sharing this wonderful world and so I look forward to coming back every year to do more tours with him. Highly recommend.

Can't speak highly enough of my experience on this tour with Alice! Was the perfect way to finish my stay in Lisbon, great value for money too! Some tours can feel like you are just another person to take on the tour.....this was definitely NOT the case with Alice and Alternative Lisbon, felt more like I was trying some new beers with friends in beautiful weather:) Alice knows her stuff, but in an engaging way and not just spouting off facts, the conversation flowed easily, I certainly learnt a lot and even discovered some craft beers I thought I wouldn't be keen on but found that i loved them so much to bring some home! If you book a tour with Alice, you won't be disappointed

For more than 1,5 hours our very nice and communicative guide Cátia walked us through some neighbourhoods, showed us various pieces of art and could also provide interesting details about some artists - both visual and musical. It was a pleasure to experience that trip with Cátia and we highly recommend that tour! Até mais :-)

Think about it. It doesn't matter if you have a DSLR or a mobile phone, because the fun will be the same.

Miguel is not only a great guy but an accomplished photographer and did everything to help me ( a professional photographer) shortcut to the absolute best and most picturesque places I needed to be. My needs as a professional were a little more specific than most I think, and Miguel was able to adapt the tour to exactly what I was looking for. He was tireless and completely bilingual and able to turn on a dime when my needs changed. Plus he knew all the best cafes and restaurants of the locals so we avoided the tourist traps. It was an honor to work with him and I look forward to seeing him on my next trip to Lisbon, which I hope will be soon!
