Frequently Asked Questions
How fit do I need to be for the walking tour?
Show Answer
Lisbon is famous for being the City of Seven Hills. We try to use public elevators as much as possible, but it is difficult to avoid uphill walking. If you’d like to take this tour by van, please contact us.
Can children come on the tour?
Show Answer
This tour is suitable for children over the age of 12. As this is a walking tour and Lisbon’s streets are mostly cobblestone, it will be difficult to walk with strollers. If you’d like to take this tour (or something similar) with a child, please get in touch with us about a private tour.
Do you allow solo travelers?
Show Answer
Yes! All of our tours require a minimum of 2 people to run; however, we welcome reservations from solo travelers (no need to purchase two tickets!). If there are fewer than two people booked on a tour, we will reschedule the tour for another day or offer you a different tour.

Filipa was our guide and she was nothing short of phenomenal. Tour was excellent and she pointed us towards excellent food spots multiple times. Probably the best tour of our two week vacation. Also a great way to see multiple spots near Lisbon in a single day.
