Lisbon is best discovered on foot - on this city tour accompanied by a German-speaking city guide with exciting insights into Portuguese history, culture and current topics.
Starting at Rossio Square, the small group (max. 12 participants) explores the districts of Baixa, Chiado, Bairro Alto and Alfama.
On the way from the lower town to the poets' quarter of Chiado, the group admires the Santa Justa elevator first from below, then from the viewing platform with a view of the lower town and Lisbon Castle. Then it goes from the Carmo monastery ruins through the Chiado district.
After a climb through the residential district of Bairro Alto, which is quiet during the day (nightlife awakens here in the evening), the group reaches the viewing point where they linger for a break.
After a taste, it goes to Alfama, the oldest district, with its viewing points and winding alleys.
The end is at the Praça do Comércio, directly on the Tejo River and the impressive triumphal arch.

5.00Great city tour with Sara. Very entertaining and interesting Sara presented us with her adopted home. Super explains with her in-depth expertise about country, city and people. Get to know new corners that we never knew before. It was already our third city tour with Walk "N" Roll . The next time we visit Lisbon we will be happy to be back. I can fully recommend the excellent city tours.
Highly recommended!

5.00Sara was super authentic and has kidnapped us the stories of Lisbon. With great tips and many side streets and their history, the real Lisbon became palpable for the time. Thanks for this fantastic trip.
Wonderful experience !

5.00We did the guided tour in German with Pedro in Lisbon. She gave us the keys to really understanding the city and its history. The tour lasted almost four hours, but was consistently entertaining, exciting and very lively. Pedro told with a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm and brought in a lot of interesting details that you won't find in any guidebook. A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to get to know Lisbon better!
Tour also bookable directly via their website

5.00We had a great tour with Sara. Booked as a group tour, however, there were only two of us. The tour was a historical journey through time. Due to the heavy rain we had to postpone the tour, but with Sara in direct contact no problem at all. 100% recommendation by us 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Absolutely recommend!

5.00Pedro is extremely sympathetic and speaks German very well. He knows country and people and leads charmingly through his city. The story, personal reference points and culinary tips are great and make you want more. The 3 1/2 hours sounded long-passed, however, and I can highly recommend these city tours.
Fun walking tour with the main sights of the city centre

5.00Very friendly guide, who showed us very entertainingly with numerous historical backgrounds the most important sights of the city center and explained so that also left no questions unanswered. Very interesting are the historical shops (Lojas com historia).
Absolutely fantastic!

5.00City tours can be very boring - but not this one! Pedro did a great job and also impressed our two sons in their early 20s. It couldn’t be better! Highly recommended!
City tour of a real German Lisbon woman

5.00The 3.5 hour guided tour was simply fantastic and far exceeded my expectations! Our guide Sarah has brought the history of Lisbon to life with incredible knowledge, passion and humour. You immediately felt that she not only knew the historical facts, but also had a real sense of the people and life in this fascinating city today. Not only did we see the main sights, but we also discovered many hidden corners that probably would never have been found on their own. I found it particularly exciting how cleverly the tour combined past and present – from the time of the seafarers to modern Lisbon with its creative, open atmosphere. The 3.5 hours flew by, and despite the length, it was never boring. There were plenty of breaks, great photo spots and little anecdotes about the everyday life of Lisbon residents, which made the city even more tangible. I can absolutely recommend this tour – for those who not only want to see Lisbon, but really want to understand and feel it. A real highlight of my stay!
