5.00Really good walking tour with Olcay as my guide. Bring your walking shoes as lots of walking but i learned loads about Lisbon from Olcay its history culture and significance. Id been to Lisbon a few times previously and taken tours before but this was one of the best as it was mixed with interesting nuggets about landmarks the buildings and why Lisbon is the city it is. I had loads of questions about the political and social history of the place and in fairness my guide had proper informed answers. By end of tour I knew Lisbon almost as well as my own city its traditions events stuff to look out for etc places to visit. The great thing about a walking tour with someone who knows the place really well is you get a proper sense of the city and how to get around it where to go. Definitely recommend the tour and Olcay as a guide.
Great experience, knowledgeable and friendly guide

5.00The tour was very comprehensive and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Lisbon. We were lucky enough to book a group tour, but ended up just the two of us so we had a private tour. We saw many areas we would not have found while exploring on our own. Olcay was our guide and did a fantastic job of educating us as well as entertaining us. Thank you Olcay!
A fun day in Lisbon!

5.00I ended being the only participant on the day I booked, so I had a private tour with Omer. He was awesome! He's very knowledgeable and made sure to tailor the experience so that we visited areas of the city that I hadn't explored yet. I learned a lot about the city and it's intriguing history from him. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00It was a great pleasure with detailed and joyful presentation. Information was presented very clearly. Tour guide was very nice and kind, kind enough to take our pictures. They give you some free times in certain locations so that you can take some pictures. Besides, the approach of the tour guide makes you feel comfortable to ask questions as many as you want. Not only the tour was great but also they provide an experience of eating pastel de nata which is very famous desert made it very special. And it’s offered by them! Additional to that they offered local Portuguese liquor with cherries included into tour as in Portuguese experience.Highly recommended, you won’t be regretting it :)

5.00Olcay was an excellent host - he is incredibly knowledgeable about Lisbon and Portugal and eager to share his passion for local history. I did this tour on my first day in Lisbon, and it was such a great start to the trip. I ended up being the only person on the tour, and Olcay took me to countless viewing points, important monuments, introduced me to the local cherry liquer, brought me to the tastiest pastel da nata shop and showed off the beaten path places where only locals go. We ended up resting our feet at a hidden taverna after extensive walking - with locals singing under an olive tree. Book this tour without hesitation - you’ll have a great time, learn about the city, and get lots of recommendations for your next visit spots! Thank you for an excellent experience!
