Best walking tour of Lisbon!

We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of Lisbon with Miriam and couldn't recommend her more highly. Her knowledge of Lisbon's history, culture, and hidden gems was exceptional, and she took us to so many places we never would have discovered on our own. She brought the city to life with fascinating stories and local insights, making every stop interesting and memorable. The tour was at a wonderfully relaxed pace, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the incredible viewpoints and soak up the atmosphere. Miriam also gave us lots of excellent recommendations for places to revisit, things to try, and local food and experiences to enjoy during the rest of our stay. Her English was outstanding—clear, easy to understand, and engaging throughout the tour. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about Lisbon. If you're visiting Lisbon, do yourself a favour and book a tour with Miriam. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Excellent historical experience.

Belen was an excellent ambassador for the city of Lisbon and we appreciated her depth of knowledge on the history of churches, the neighbourhoods and the Carnation Revolution. She was an excellent storyteller which brought the history to life.
