Amazing Lisbon experience

Oct 2021

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.

unforgettable walk around Lisbon

Nov 2021

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.

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

Great Lisbon Oreintation Tour

Apr 2017 • Couples

We went on the Sandemans New Lisbon Tour. Our guide Jorge was really great, explained the history of Portugal and specifically Lisbon thru the places we visited. Gave us an orientation of the city and sights which is very good when you arrive in a new city and before you start exploring on your own. Lisbon is built on a number of hills but Jorge took us on a route where most of the way we were going downhill and the whole tour was really enjoyable and I would recommend it for all age groups.

Gourmet food and wine tour

May 2016 • Couples

We wanted to see the local places to eat and drink. Over more than 4 hours (4:30-8:30pm plus) with our guide Tiago Neiva, we visited 5 carefully chosen places ranging from the city's oldest bar, an Arabic inspired restaurant, a delicatessen and a Ginghania bar in Rossi and surrounds to a wine bar in the heights of Bairro Alto. Along the way we sampled Vinho Verde, whites from Alentjo, and the local cherry liqueur, we visited a pastelaria and had plenty to eat as restaurants like cheeses, baccala cod, speciality sausage, omelette and ham. A thoroughly entertaining time, with our resourceful guide. Certainly ask for Tiago as he has a wealth of local knowledge. Fantastic time !

Gloria was wonderful.

Apr 2015 • Couples

We arranged an afternoon tour with Secrets of Lisbon tours online about a week in advance of our trip. Received an immediate reply from Angela. Reservation and deposit handled reasonably and efficiently online. Our guide, Gloria, met us at our hotel and showed us the highlights of the lovely city. She was totally professional, intelligent, funny, warm, friendly and impressively knowledgeable about the history and sights of Lisbon. We had a great time with her and learned a lot.

May 2022 • Family

Is it your first time in Lisbon or do you think you know the city? With Monika you get to know the city differently. no boredom, no stories from the travel guide. Original stories that feel so real. I recommend a walk to the 100%
