Lisbon: Historical Tour on a Tukxi

1. Lisbon: Historical Tour on a Tukxi

This tour will take you back in time through the narrow-cobbled streets of Lisbon where you discover its historic and cultural heritage. You will fall in love with the picturesque and colorful neighbourhoods like Mouraria, Graça and Alfama. Each neighbourhood has something different to offer. Mouraria, for example, is the multi-ethnic part of the city, where you will find people and food from all over the world.  Graça is situated on the highest of the seven hills, where you will find São Jorge Castle, some amazing views and probably the best view in the city in Nossa senhora do Monte Belvedare, which is just a few minutes from the castle. Next stop is Alfama: the Arab district of the city and its oldest neighbourhood where you feel like you have stepped back in time. Narrow winding streets, stone paved terraces and small arches make this an unforgettable experience. This part of town is home to the amazing fado houses, where you will hear beautiful traditional, melancholic music and enjoy some amazing food!

I’m so happy I booked this tour. This was my favorite experience in Lisbon and a great way to see art and see the city outside the main tourist area. Rui was so knowledgeable about the art and history of the city, you can tell he enjoys giving this tour. I was worried about it being 3 hours but it ended up being the perfect amount of time and mostly walking downhill. Highly recommend taking this tour!

Awesome guide! Speaks French very well. Is very nice and funny and above all he loves his city and makes us discover it very well! Great activity to do with kids. Thanks

Everything worked out great from communication to pick-up at the port. Our driver Michael explained everything, made great stops for photos. We recommend.

Mario D was an excellent guide. He made sure we saw the most places in the time we had. Tailored the entire tour to our needs. Highly recommend.

I love this tour. It takes me to a path less traveled.
