“Pay for "free" walking tour”

Guide used filling phrases only, not much info about the city... she had us meet her "grandma" who we were supposed to buy drinks from which seemed a rip-off and fake. We had actually booked a different tour but were made to join another one. Most shocking was the fact that the guide asked 12 Euro pP from each guest before the start of the tour. This does not comply with the concept of a free tour in our eyes. Not to recommend

“Amazing time during Free Walking Tour in Lisbon with Belen”

It's been a month since my family and I had the pleasure of joining Free Walking Tour in Lisbon with Belen, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for such a memorable experience! We had an amazing time exploring the beautiful and historic sights of the city. The stories Belen shared with us were not only fascinating but also filled with details and insights that we could never have found online. It was clear that she truly knows Lisbon and its history, and we appreciated the passion and enthusiasm she brought to the tour. Belen knowledge of Portugal's history, combined with her storytelling talent, made the tour both informative and entertaining. We learned so much, and the personal stories she shared gave us a deeper connection to the city. Thank you again for making our time in Lisbon so special. We all truly enjoyed it and will fondly remember the day we spent with you.

“A great evening ”

We had a very nice time with Natalia yesterday. We learned a lot about Lisbon and Alfama and walked through some interesting areas. She was so kind at the end and gave us all kinds of insider tips for the rest of our trip. Definitely do this tour at the beginning of your stay so you can get information from a local about lots of restaurants and how to best see other places in town and save time and money. The only thing I would say is the tour could be a little shorter. Maybe that’s because we did walking tours and Bill and San Sebastian also in the last five days, but it’s a lot of information and hard to really absorb it all. Bit overall a great tour and she was a delight!
