The 10 Best Photography Tours in Lisbon, Central Portugal
The museums of Lisbon celebrate the rich history and culture of this Portuguese capital city. The Maritime Museum is perfect for kids (and grown-ups!) who adore all things nautical, while the Casa-Museu Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves is a hidden gem of colorful artwork. To fully appreciate the city’s dramatic stone architecture you can take a guided walking tour, or customize your own tour, making sure to visit the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, and the UNESCO World Heritage site the Torre de Belem.

1. The Photo, Wine & Tile private Tour with panoramic Arrábida
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
The Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, amidst the deep blue sea and the green of the hills, is a breath-taking place. Situated by the sea, the park offers some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the Lisbon area. The highest point is in the Serra do Risco, a magnificent cliff 380m high. A good way of getting to know this pristine place, featuring pure Mediterranean vegetation, is this private tour. Like a wall of green sticking out over the Atlantic, the hills offer shelter to small coves of white sand where, despite being on the edge of the ocean, the sea is almost free of waves.
Inclusions: Bottled water, Wine Tasting

The cork factory was surprisingly interesting and the town of Évora was adorable. The Chapel of Bones is extra (only 5€, but worth it) and you’re on your own for lunch. We picked Tragos E Condutos and had a fabulous meal (get the black pork!). To top it all off, the winery was equally awesome and included a tour of the winery’s carriage museum. It may sound boring, but (again) it was surprisingly cool. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and best of all, our tour ended up being private because no one else signed up. Definitely recommend!

As I was spending a day solo in Lisbon, I wanted to take advantage of a private tour through Lisbon to learn more about the city while improving on my skills as an amateur photographer. I did an early morning tour with Miguel who is a great guide. We started our trip at one of the viewpoints to catch the first morning light and I learned about the advantage of using a tripod to get sharper shots, and then leisurely strolled through the old city. He knew all the nice spots to take a photo and I even got a really really cool photo from the famous yellow tram no. 28 :) But not only did he show me the nice places to take a picture of, he also told me a lot about how to use my camera settings better, about light, angles, aperture and shutter speed. After explaining, he made me try out the different settings and angles to actually experience the difference myself ... In short, he shared so much of his knowledge it was amazing. And all very understandable for me as an amateur. Also, and this was a really special experience: I saw an old lady at a window in one of the small alleyways. And I thought: Oh, what a wonderful photo that would be. And Miguel said: Go, ask her. I felt too shy but he insisted and finally I went to ask her. She was lovely, was happy to be photographed, told us that she was a bit famous because people always see her at her window and told us some more funny stories about her life. And I got the wonderful photo I so much wanted :))) I can fully recommend this tour to anyone who is keen to experience the city through his/her lens and to learn from someone who really knows what he's talking about and is super friendly. If solo or as a group, I believe you'll have a really good time with Miguel as your guide.

If you are looking for a creative way to explore the hidden and well known beauties of Lisboa, Carlos and his journey through photographs is a fantastic option. He was knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and painted the city perfectly. Not only did he provide information about the locations but the spots he directed us to were breathtaking. This was perfect for our own photographic journey.

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.

Highly recommend. It was a wonderful experience for me and my wife. Miguel is a professional photographer and fun person. My wife tagged along the tour and ended up taking some amazing photos under the guidance of Miguel. My wife is not a photographer and does not own any camera. We went to some beautiful spots in Lisboa. We had a wonderful time. Because of Miguel we will forever remember the wonderful time we had in Lisboa. Book a tour with Miguel and have an experience you will enjoy, and you will never forget. We recommend this tour highly.

9. Lisbon Photo Private Day Tour
Overall Ratings

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!

This surf school is AWESOME! I've been doing lessons with Gosurf Lisboa for the past 2 months. I've been surfing on and off for the past 4 years (a week here and there) always at a very basic level and really wanted to improve whilst staying in Portugal. And I have! :) Filipe & the team have been great at both explaining the technique and making sure my basics are solid, but have also been amazing at getting me to feel comfortable in the water even on a day with a bigger swell and just feeling confident in my ability to surf. Which shows because I can finally catch my own waves :D Definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn how to surf, or who wants to improve! (plus the guys are very fun to hang out with :)) )
