Full description

From its rich heritage and historical neighborhoods, to the culture of fado and the delicious Pastéis de Belém, the Portuguese capital presents many reasons for you to visit it.

In Belém You'll find the Jerónimos Monastery, one of the most appealing and imposing monuments of the city, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage. When visiting its church, also Manueline style, be sure to notice the tombs of renowned historical personalities like Vasco da Gama, Luiz de Camões and King D. Manuel.

Enjoy the National Palace of Ajuda, built in 1795. On Wednesdays, the National Palace will be replaced by the Royal Treasury Museum.

Next to the Tagus River, you will find the Belém Tower, a landmark of the Portuguese Discoveries: a fortress of the Tagus estuary and starting point for the journeys to India and Brazil, connecting Europe to the rest of the world. Next, The Monument of Discoveries, an imposing monument shaped as a caravel that shows important characters linked to the Discoveries and the glorious past of Portugal.

In the city centre, enjoy the beautiful Comércio Square. One of the largest European squares and once the royal palace of Portugal. Here, you can also find the oldest café in town, the famous “Martinho da Arcada”, which was usually frequented by the known Portuguese poet, Fernando Pessoa.

In Alfama, you find the oldest and most authentic neighborhoods in the city, a place of hidden corners and narrow streets, where it is worth getting lost.

Expected itinerary: 

Departure from Marquês de Pombal
Free time in Belém Tower (aprox. 30 minutes)
Free time in Monument of Discoveries (aprox. 15 minutes)
Free time in Jerónimos Monastery (aprox. 30 minutes)
Visit to Palácio da Ajuda (aprox. 1h30) or Royal Treasure Museum on wednesdays. 

Important - Digital Walking Tour
Given the usual circulation between the western and eastern areas of the city is limited, and because it is impossible to make this route within the usual timing of the circuit, customers after the guided tour, will be left in Restauradores or Marquês de Pombal to freely carry out the route of Alfama through the new Digital Walking Tour.

The Digital Walking Tour allows customers to visit areas such as Alfama and Baixa-Chiado, areas that are off-limits to heavy vehicles for an indefinite period. 

It consists of an interactive guide that is activated by GPS, and accompanies customers throughout the visit with an audio playback, giving them the freedom/opportunity to choose their route at their own pace.

How does it work?
Each customer can download the APP "Vox City" for free through a QRcode provided on the ticket. The remaining instructions are given directly to customers through the distribution of an informative flyer at check-in.

RUDE guide
I did the Lisbon Guided City Tour on July 3rd. The tour guide was rude to me and told me to be quiet twice when I spoke with the person sitting next to me. She spoke to me like a child and said she was the teacher and I was the student and to be quiet! I wasn't being disruptive or rude, I was commenting on something we were looking at. She should be reprimanded.

Average tour of Lisbon
Our guide Matild was knowledgeable but with a full bus of people speaking English, French and Portuguese she spent a lot of time translating. I was pleased to see the Tower of Belem and the Monument to the Discoveries. The view of the nearby monastery was nice but long lines precluded you from entering and short visits inside the church weren't offered while we were there. Basically it was a rest stop to get a pastry and use the toilet if needed. The Royal Palace of Ajuda was magnificent but the Vox boxes were not working and with such a large group we were out of ear shot from hearing much of what our guide shared. Very disappointing!

Lisbon Guided City Tour
Gute Orientierung nach Lissabon. Schnelle Besichtigung des Kutschenmuseums, Belens und besten Teils Alfamas mit Portweinprobe. Es war eine Halbtagestour, die in Alfama endete. Sie hätten uns am Hotel abgesetzt, aber wir beschlossen, in Alfama zu stoppen und vor Ort zu Mittag zu essen. Um zu Ihrem Hotel zurückzukehren, fahren Sie zum Bahnhof in Alfama, den Sie zwischen dem Fluss und dem Militärmuseum nicht verpassen dürfen. Am Bahnhof gibt es einen Taxistand. 3,50 E für die Rückfahrt zum Hotel auf der Avenue da Liberdade. Toller halber Tag schnell orientiert nach Lissabon. MARRISA GROSSER FÜHRER. Sie gab eine Tour auf Englisch und Deutsch und informierte uns kurz und bündig über die Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte der Sehenswürdigkeiten, die wir uns angesehen hatten. GENIESSEN!

Perfect morning in Lisbon
Loved the tour! I was traveling solo and joined a very lovely group. Joao the guide was a local, so he knew everything about Lisbon. All the monuments in Belem are amazing, the architecture details were stunning. and the historical neighborhoods definitely a high point! Got to see most of the city and even get some tips on what to do. 5 *

Great tour in Lisbon
Did the tour in the afternoon with the husband and it was really great. It's the perfect tour if you have little time in the city but still want to get to know as much as possible! The only downside was the traffic, so I would advise to do it in the morning maybe. But the guide Maria was impeccable, shared a lot of history and fun facts with us and even gave us tips on what to do at night. The Jerónimos is just amazing and the story behind the discoveries monument really interesting.

Lisbon Guided City Tour - Half Day
It's the perfect option for people who haven't visited Lisbon before, have little time and want to learn more about the city. The guide was incredibly patient (even with all the morning natural chaos in Lisbon) and knew so so much about the city. The historical neighborhoods are really lovely and we even had time to stop and try the famous pastel in Belem. 100% would recommend!!

Lisbon Half Day Tour
On Sunday 3rd December myself and 34 of my group went on a half a day city tour of Lisbon which was throughly enjoyed by everyone. Despite the half day marathon which was on at the same time, our guide Ana and driver did their very best to make sure this did not effect our tour. We were able to see all the sights arranged by Sara Ribero from your Lisbon office, who was excellant and very patient with me throughout the whole booking process of this tour and made sure we got the best for our group. Ana, our guide was brilliant and gave very clear and thorough information and facts about the places we were visiting. Thank you all for making our 1st experience of Lisbon such a memorable one. We hope to use you more in the future!
