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.

Did you know Lisbon is one of the capitals of street art? The walls of Marvila are an open-air gallery where you can see the work of international graffiti artists celebrating Ibero-American culture. 15 huge pieces of art on buildings situated on the top of a hill, the Tejo in the distance… simply amazing. Even more amazing is to stroll through a neighbourhood that, at every new corner, uncovers a layer of the history of Lisbon: 17th and 18th-century convents and palaces, art deco industrial warehouses and buildings, vilas of factory workers and urban vegetable gardens. All of this at a 20-min drive from the centre, in the eastern part of Lisbon.

Inclusions: Private transportation

Exclusions: Lunch, Entries in monuments are not included in the price and are subject to the visitng hours.

I cannot recommend .Nonu our driver highly enough. As we had only 2 days to explore Lisbon, we decided to take a tour with him and his company. What a delight!! So very interesting and informative. So much so that we booked a second tour the next day. Nonu was gracious, very helpful and charming with extensive knowledge of the city. He went out of his way to show us sights he thought would interest us such as street art viewing places and the fabulous pastries of Belem amongst many others. He also helped us with our otinary booked us a restaurant and picked is up from our hotel to take us there. Thank you so much Nonu you made our stay in Lisbon so special and we felt that we experienced as much as possible in such a short time. We wish you all the besy

Do you know those moments that you wanted to last forever? A family trip, a honeymoon, the first trip alone, a encounter with whom we love or an encounter with ourselves? Well I'll tell you: there is a "magic formula" that is called photography and, with it, we can perpetuate those moments that don't come back. Let's walk the streets of Porto, make amazing photos and share a unique experience. If you've never taken part in a photo shoot before, I can help you look natural and feel comfortable in front of the camera. And look, there's no need to worry or feel embarrassed about participating in the group experience. They are just normal people wanting good photos. ***This experience is private and if you come as a family, groups of up to 4 people or as a couple, you only need to reserve ONE place. If you have any questions, please, contact me :)

Inclusions: High resolution edited photos

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 :-)

Évora is located in the Center of Alentejo, from its original name Ébora, was a city defended by a strong castle and surrounded by solid walls when the army of King D. Afonso Henriques commanded by Geraldo “No Fear” conquered the Moors in 1165. Our visit begins towards Évora, passing by the 25 de Abril bridge. Arriving in Évora, visit Giraldo Square, the Castle and the majestic Temple of Diana. We suggest a lunch stop at a typical restaurant and then visit the Bones Chapel, the Cathedral and the San Francisco Church.

Very nice tour I strongly recommend. We were 4 and took a car with a private driver that was really nice, kind, professional and patient. He drove us everywhere and explained all we saw without being nervous or impatient. Finally he added also a city tour that we really enjoyed. Price was very reasonable for a whole day out. Do it, it is really worthwhile. Angelita

This photo tour was designed by a professional photographer that has a deep knowledge about Lisbon. It also happens that Miguel was born in Lisbon, lives in Lisbon and likes Lisbon a lot. You can expect a full and very rewarding experience. We will explore the areas as old time friends, looking for good and sometimes unexpected moments. We will chat about the local culture, about the local history and about photography. We will discuss f-stops, between a view description or looking at a map. We may actually improve your image composition as well. It is a very complete and flexible experience with the huge advantage of being private. Being on the streets, makes it also very safe. This also allows Miguel to follow your preferred subjects or to optimise the use of your photo equipment. Actually, this photo tour should be for everybody, because everybody has a camera! Think about it. It doesn't matter if you have a DSLR or a mobile phone, because the fun will be the same.

Inclusions: LISBON PHOTO provides deep info about photography, including tech settings and image composition., LISBON PHOTO adds information about the local history and culture., LISBON PHOTO may provide a spontaneous contact with locals.

Exclusions: You should have your own photography equipment.

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!
