About this activity

Lisbon is a vibrant and seductive city where the old charm coexists with the avant-garde. Begin your journey at Belém, where the caravels left for the New World, and see an outdoor monument in praise of the Discoveries period. See the Torre de Belém sitting at Tagus riverside and the imposing Jerónimos Monastery, both elevated to World Heritage by UNESCO and two of the '7 Wonders of Portugal' that have dominated this landscape for 500 years.

Next, we go to a new viewpoint in town, located beside the iconic bridge crossing the Tagus river. Watch the amazing views from the top and see all the coastline up to Cascais. When you come down, put some VR goggles on for an awesome virtual reality experience as a maintenance worker. Don’t look down though!

Afterwards, we cross the bridge and make our way to Cacilhas for a traditional lunch. Before returning to Lisbon we make a quick stop, probably at the best viewpoint over the city. The Cristo Rei statue is standing on a clifftop 133m above the sea level, so get some classic Instagram photos right on the spot and watch the breathtaking views from the other riverbank!

Before the drop-off in the city center, we go to a final stop for another viewpoint, less crowded and with other cool insights about another area of Lisbon.

Lisbon is pretty and there is no better way to see it other than with a local. We were picked up on time by Mihaela who was great. She was funny and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning the history, site seeing and tasting amazing Pastel de nata!. Mihaela also gave us great tips of where to eat in the city and what to do. Highly recommended.

Very informative tour of the city of Lisboa. Everything You want to see in Lisboa city center is up-hill haha. The Behlem Tower and the Mãe dÁgua Mother of Water were not open as it was Good Friday. The Jeronimos Monastery was very beautiful and I was awestruck by the intricate design and the work that it took to build something so beautiful that long ago. The walking tour and the lookout are well worth the effort as it seems you are going up-hill both ways. The Portuguese egg tart pastry, pastel de nata is to die for. We bought more throughout our stay. Andres, our guide, did a very good job

This was a great tour. Our guide, Patricia picked us up from our hotel and gave a preview of the day. We started with the Belem Tower and then walked over to the Monument to the Discoveries. From there we headed to taste the custard tart pastel de nata. From there we walked over to the Jeronimos Monastery. We did not go into the monastery but the adjacent church. If you want to visit the monastery, then that would be done to your own expense and at another time. We then took a tour of the viaduct and then head to the historic center where we had a walking tour and took in some more sights. We visited St George's Castle and afterward had a sample of Ginja - a cherry liqueur that is drank from little chocolate cup. And finally, more walking through the little streets and ended up in Rossio square.

We had a wonderful day and learned so much about Lisbons history. Our guide, Miguel, was excellent and very personable. Kudos to the very courteous driver, Tiago, who maneuvered through the city and small spaces without any problems. We had an enjoyable traditional Portuguese lunch along the way. We highly recommend this tour.
