    Great Tour
    We had a great tour today guided by Filipa. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and the areas covered. I would highly recommend Lisbon Walkers and Filipa.

    Intriguing like a Ian Fleming book
    Fascinating subject never knew about Portuguese politics in this era. It was bought alive for us.Salazar the dictator actions were hard to believe how he handled both England and germanys leaders to his advantage. Our guide explained with many interesting stories about life during those times.

    Informative and interesting introduction to Lisbon
    My husband and I really enjoyed our two and a half hour tour of the Old Town with Hugo. It was an excellent introduction to Lisbon, and Hugo had so many interesting things to tell us about the history of the city and the country generally. Thank you, Hugo, we enjoyed every minute!

    A great tour of the Alfama!
    Hugo was a great tour guide! We only had 5 of us total so it was very nice to be in small group and get to hear everything Hugo had to say. Good overall history of the city and I would recommend it as a way to start your trip and get your bearings of the city.

    Great insight about Portugal role during the second world war
    José, our guide, was very knowledgeable and kept a steady and gentle pace with lots of interesting stories about Lisbon during the second world war and its context in the Portuguese fascist regime. We had a great afternoon learning loads of interest details and curiosities about Lisbon and Portugal at the time.

    Exceeded Expectations!
    Our tour guide, Filipa, was, in a word, excellent. Filipa really knew her Portugese and Lisbon history. The 2 and 1/2 hours flew by. Very informative and interesting description of an insider's view on Portugal 's history. Highly recommended.

    Outstanding Tour
    Our entire group had a fantastic tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable in this crowd of WW2 buffs who frequently know more than a tour guide. Would 100% recommend this to anyone that has an interest in this topic.

    Fascinating walking tour
    The Lisbon City of Spies tour was fascinating and informative. We knew something about the topic beforehand. However, our tour guide shared a wealth of stories and history. He was friendly, professional and enthusiastic. The tour was a highlight of our Lisbon trip.

    Interesting information
    The starting point was a little challenging for us to find. You get an email with the contact information for the guide so we were able to find them. It was a little hard to hear the guide at times, but that's what happens when you are walking around a busy city! The tour covers how Portugal was able to remain neutral during the war, why there was so much spy activity in Lisbon, and information about a few well-known spies.

Jose “took us behind the scenes” in Lisbon, creating a coherent history, separating fact from legend, and taking us to side streets few get to see to help tell the story. He was personable, informed and made us feel very important as his client. Rick Steves is right on when he recommends Lisbon Walker tour company. Many thanks to Jose and his company!

My wife and I signed up for the Revelation tour the morning after we arrived in Lisbon and I must say our expectations were exceeded. Pedro our guide did an excellent job of describing sites along the way and their historical significance. Sometimes on these tours guides can get to detailed on the history but not Pedro. He was able to deliver just the right amount of information and in some cases how these events affected his own family.

My wife who is not the history lover that I am commented that this was the best tour she has ever taken and I agree!

The revelation tour was perfect if you want to learn history of some of the city and its buildings as well as get a good look around the downtown area.

The guide answered all the questions and spoke excellent English. Ours was a small group which worked perfectly.

Highly recommend this tour and in particular for your first day or two in the city so you can get your bearings.

We had a wonderful, informative time on Pedro’s tour. He knows his history in depth and did a great job of imparting details of Lisbon’s past and present to us. What was billed as a three hour tour wound up being over 3 1/2, and it flew by. He is a great interpreter of this fascinating city. He was happy to respond to questions and add details when we asked.

Knowledgeable guide, nice information about the city and it's history. It was a bit shorter than we expected and didn't cover all the stops we thought it would. Definitely geared to be ok for the least physical of the group :) We did go on a very hot day, so perhaps the guide was being careful not to exhaust the walkers. I'd recommend to folks without kids.

I can't imagine a better way to get to know the city and learn about Portugal's history. Guides are extremely knowledgeable as well as entertaining. The tour points out the sights of the city and puts its history into perspective. Well worth the time and the money.

We booked this tour so that we could orient ourselves to the layout of the city. Our guide met us promptly at the described meeting place and quickly started explaining the history of Lisbon and how it was effected by the 1755 earthquake. He brought us to many original buildings and many beautiful plazas, explaining the monuments and their significance.. He was very conscious of our pace , slowing down on the hills. He was very knowledgeable and always answered our questions in an educated manner. When we finished the tour at the gorgeous viewpoint , all the information came together and the layout of the city revealed itself to us. Great tour and guide.

My wife and I had the best experience possible with Lisbon Walker and their Revelation Your. First, due to a weather issue we missed our connecting flight. Lisbon Walker quickly and very kindly was able to reschedule us for a different day. Secondly, our tour guide was extremely informative and nice. He took us to multiple sites in old downtown lisbon. He had an incredible depth of knowledge and taught us a lot about the history of Portugal and the city. We would absolutely take this tour again.

This tour was excellent. It covered the high points and was a fine overview of the city and its history. Our guide, Pedro, was knowledgeable, charming and very good at keeping a quick pace while also considering his audience. Frankly, Lisbon had left me a bit disappointed prior to this tour. Pedro's informative guidance turned my perception around. I loved the tour and now appreciate and love Lisbon as well. Bravo - an excellent experience!
