Whenever I am in a bigger city for the first time I try to use the services of a local guide who will show me the most interesting places and help to organize further stay. This time it was Lisbon. I found myself there for the second time. My first stay in this city took place 10 years earlier and we visited the city with a guide book in our hand. After returning home, we knew that we would probably return to Lisbon one day. And we did, in November 2021, and now we know we will be there again next year. Monica, who showed us around Alfama and Baixa for 4 hours, enchanted the city for us. She showed us so many beautiful places where there were very few tourists, while telling us very colorful stories about the history of the city and the modern life of its inhabitants. Monika helped us to organize our further stay, giving us numerous tips, which we took advantage of. She advised where to taste the real Portuguese cuisine, booked a table for dinner to the sounds of fado. After those few hours we had the impression that we knew Monika for a long time. In my subjective ranking of city guides, there was a lot of confusion, a new leader appeared. Take advantage, if you will be in Lisbon, you should not regret it.…

A city walk with Monika is a unique Lisbon experience and is worth serving while discovering this beautiful city. It doesn't matter if it's your first time in Lisbon or if you have been there million times already. Monika will lead you where the guides are silent. Super atmosphere, beautiful stories, streets you will fall in love with from the first time you step in. The ubiquitous smell of laundry, grilled sardines, and bacalhau, a Ginja shot. You won't take your eyes off the azulejos even if you want to. You will love it. Lisbon draws you with all your senses and you don't even know how it happened. Monika is a good "database". She has something to recommend for every taste - coffee and pastel de nata, local food (this is exploration!), ceramics shops, museums, azulejos workshops, books about Lisbon - whatever you like, whatever makes you lost... My love - unique street arts, port wine tasting in local wineries, or fado evenings at Alfama won't leave my head for a long time. It is not only a walk, but also an inspiration for more Lisbon searches on your own. Monika will guide you in the right direction, you will sail on your own journey like Portuguese explorers. Thanks a lot and see you in Lisbon. It is not a city for one day. It is a place where you always come back.…

English version below Wspaniały spacer po zakątkach Lizbony opowiedziany w niezwykle interesujący sposob. Monika opowiada przepięknie, ciekawie, zapamiętałam tyle szczegółów ze teraz opowiadam rodzinie i znajomym. Najlepszy przewodnik jakiego kiedykolwiek spotkałam i moge polecić z czystym sumieniem. Co wiecej chętnie posłucham tych opowieści i historii jeszcze raz Wonderful walk through Lisoba’s hidden gems, accompanied by highly interesting stories. Monika tells in incredibly interesting and beautiful way that you can listen to her over and over again. I learned so many interesting facts that I can’t stop passing them to my family and friends. Amazing experience that I can recommend and hope to be able to make it again in the future…
