Abbiamo fatto un tour con la guida Raffaele a Lisbona e siamo rimaste davvero soddisfatte. La sua conoscenza della città è impressionante: ci ha spiegato il quartiere Alfaba dalle sue origini fino ai giorni nostri. Consigliamo vivamente questa esperienza sia a chi visita la città per la prima volta sia a chi la conosce già ma vuole scoprirne i dettagli più nascosti. Un modo autentico di vivere Lisbona con una prospettiva locale e competente. Grazie Raffaele! Translate this opinion into English.

We took a tour with our guide Raffaele in Lisbon and were truly satisfied. His knowledge of the city is impressive: he explained the Alfaba neighborhood to us from its origins to the present day. We highly recommend this experience for both first-time visitors and those who already know the city but want to discover its hidden gems. An authentic way to experience Lisbon with a local and knowledgeable perspective. Thank you Raffaele! Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita fue por Aldama con la guia Mariana, una excelente persona, guia, que vive su trabajo, que le apasiona y pone todo de su parte. Que mejor guia que alguien que ha vivido en la zona y su experiencia vital. Encantadora y si vuelvo me gustaría que fuese ella mi guia. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was through Aldama with Mariana as our guide. She's an excellent person and a truly dedicated guide who loves her work and gives it her all. What better guide than someone who has lived in the area and has firsthand experience of it? She was delightful, and if I return, I would love for her to be my guide again. Opinion translated.

Ho fatto il free tour nell’Alfama con Matteo ed è stata un’esperienza davvero piacevole. Questo quartiere, con le sue viuzze e l’atmosfera calma, dà quasi l’impressione di trovarsi in un piccolo paese più che nel cuore di Lisbona. Matteo ha aggiunto molto al percorso, riuscendo a trasmettere davvero bene lo spirito semplice e autentico del quartiere. Translate this opinion into English.

I took the free tour of Alfama with Matteo and it was a truly enjoyable experience. This neighborhood, with its narrow streets and tranquil atmosphere, almost feels like a small village rather than the heart of Lisbon. Matteo added so much to the tour, truly capturing the neighborhood's simple and authentic spirit. Opinion translated. Show original.

We loved our tour with Cecilia very much! She is such a fun and a wonderful storyteller! Many stories about Portugese life and traditions, some historical facts, a lot of walking with stops to sit and have a rest while she was telling the stories. My special thanks to Cecilia is for her singing to us. A strong, professional voice. And I loved folk songs especially. Highly recommend!!!

Clara explicó el free tour increíble. Se pasó el tiempo volando y es una parte de la ciudad curiosa e increíble de ver, ya que es más culturar que histórico (aunque también tiene su parte). Super recomendable y sobre todo si estás durmiendo por algún alojamiento de sus calles..

Hicimos el free tour por la mañana con Marta. Desde el principio hasta el final, nos trasladó la historia de Lisboa , sus costumbres, los sitios más emblemáticos de Alfama, todo nos lo explicó estupendamente. Era nuestro primer free tour. Mi marido y yo quedamos encantados con Marta y su excelente profesionalidad, tanto es así que por la tarde nos hicimos otro free tour por el centro de Lisboa, esta vez con Yerling, igualmente nos encantó, se nota que a estas chicas les encanta su trabajo Translate this opinion into English.

We took the free walking tour in the morning with Marta. From beginning to end, she shared the history of Lisbon, its customs, and the most emblematic sites of Alfama with us—she explained everything wonderfully. It was our first free tour. My husband and I were delighted with Marta and her excellent professionalism, so much so that in the afternoon we took another free tour of Lisbon's city center, this time with Yerling. We loved it just as much; it's clear these women love their work. Opinion translated. Show original.

Matteo ci ha fatto emozionare, ci ha fatto vivere con empatia e trasporto tutte le sfaccettature dell Alfama. Consiglio il tour perché senza una guida come lui, sarebbe stata solo una visita di passaggio senza cogliere realmente l anima del quartiere. Translate this opinion into English.

Matteo moved us, making us experience all the facets of Alfama with empathy and passion. I recommend the tour because without a guide like him, it would have been just a passing visit without truly capturing the soul of the neighborhood. Opinion translated. Show original.

SARA es una guía excepcional. Ama Lisboa, pero ama más el Barrio de Alfama y así hemos finalizado el tour: "amando Alfama". Si no hubiéramos conocido Alfama en el tour no lo hubiéramos conocido por nuestra cuenta porque hubiéramos ido a los miradores y ya. Ha sido un lujo recorrer Alfama de la mano de SARA. Translate this opinion into English.

Sara is an exceptional guide. She loves Lisbon, but she loves the Alfama district even more, and that's how we ended the tour: "loving Alfama." If we hadn't experienced Alfama on the tour, we wouldn't have explored it on our own; we would have just gone to the viewpoints and that was it. It was a real treat to explore Alfama with Sara.

El tour por Alfama con Leyre ha sido muy ameno. Es un barrio con algo de pendiente, pero se pasa rápido porque ella explica con mucha vivacidad y te mete en cada explicación. El barrio tiene mucho encanto y vale la pena perderse por sus calles, te da la sensación de que estás en un pueblito en el que no ha pasado el tiempo. Translate this opinion into English.

Leyre's tour of Alfama was very enjoyable. It's a slightly hilly neighborhood, but the walk goes by quickly because she explains things so lively and draws you in with every detail. The neighborhood has a lot of charm, and it's worth getting lost in its streets; you get the feeling you're in a small town where time has stood still. Opinion translated. Show original.

Estuvo increíblemente bien, de hecho el tour que habíamos contratado era en inglés y la guía muy linda dijo que podíamos movernos al tour en español lo cual nos pareció excelente porque fue más entendible el tour. Franco fue excepcional, lleno de historia, súper culto, se nota que se ha preparado mucho, y a pesar de que todo el tour estuvo lleno de información histórica, Franco lo hizo súper ameno. En verdad me encantó, lo recomiendo ampliamente, pidan a Franco de guía en español. Translate this opinion into English.

It was incredibly good. In fact, the tour we had booked was in English, and the lovely guide said we could switch to the Spanish tour, which we thought was excellent because it made the tour much easier to understand. Franco was exceptional, full of history, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell he's done a lot of research, and even though the whole tour was packed with historical information, Franco made it super enjoyable. I truly loved it and highly recommend it. Ask for Franco as your Spanish guide. Opinion translated. Show original.
