Walking Tours in Lisbon

It was a wonderful visit, and everything went great. Even though we arrived late at the palace, they let us in. Thank you! It was a really great experience.

I enjoyed the tour of the Pena Palace and the various terraces because of the views they offer. The park is pleasant to walk through, although all the hills are tiring. Well-organized. Quinta da Regaleira: The palace and chapel are very beautiful on the outside, though there isn’t much to see inside. The most interesting thing to see was the Initiation Well. Very pleasant café.

The place is charming, with mysterious paths and brimming with symbolism, art, history, architecture, and encounters. Its gardens exude a sense of tranquility. The tour takes about 1 or 2 hours if you’re a detail-oriented explorer (like me, haha)—maybe a little longer. The estate: It’s a must-see.

There were seven of us, ranging in age from 70 years to 38 months. We loved walking around this huge resort. We arrived at 4:00 p.m. and there were no lines. We were amazed by the well and the underground tunnel. Our children, ranging in age from 9 years to 38 months, said this was the highlight of their day. The towers were a big hit with my grandchildren. They loved having their pictures taken once they reached the top. One of our grandchildren suggested we check out the steps, which were different in one of the towers, and he was right—but the view was spectacular. Luckily, there was a cafeteria where we could refuel with water and snacks. The woodwork and stained-glass windows were magnificent.

First of all, I really appreciated the friendliness and professionalism of our guide, Mr. Luis. My wife and I learned a great deal about the history of Portugal in general and the history of São Jorge Castle. We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank him very much for his explanations about the history of Alfama.

This tour is a must-do. Francisco was an amazing host, taking the time to diligently explain all the history of the area. You can tell he is passionate about what he does! He was so informative and kind throughout the whole tour, and shared lots of recommendations after the tour to look into.
