A Truly Unforgettable Experience with Miguel at Lisbon Photo

5.00My wife Mary and I spent two half days with Miguel from Lisbon Photo, and it was simply amazing — without a doubt one of the highlights of our 7-week European tour. I had done the same experience with Miguel seven years ago, so I already knew how good it would be. But this time, it exceeded all expectations. Miguel has a wonderful way of making photography come alive — not just through technical tips, but through his deep love and knowledge of Lisbon. It’s so much more than a photography workshop; it’s like a private guided tour of the city, filled with hidden corners, beautiful light, and fascinating local insights. What made this time extra special was watching my wife’s transformation. She had no real interest in photography before, but under Miguel’s patient, friendly, and encouraging guidance, she’s now completely hooked — and taking fantastic photos! Miguel is a brilliant teacher and a genuinely kind person. He takes time to understand each participant’s skill level and goals, and he tailors the experience perfectly. His easygoing nature and passion for both Lisbon and photography make every moment enjoyable. If you want to see Lisbon through the eyes of a local artist, learn photography in a relaxed, inspiring way, and come home with stunning photos and even better memories — this is the experience for you. Thank you, Miguel, for another unforgettable adventure. We’ll definitely be back again!
Photography, touring and friendship rolled into one!

5.00I had a great time with Miguel learning about street photography in Lisbon. Miguel is very knowledgeable about photography and Lisbon. We went down alleys and through areas I would never have known about had it not been for Miguel. I wish I had time to do Porto too, but will add to my list for next time. Miguel, thank you!

5.00We have been to Lisbon many times, the day tour with Miguel gave us a completely different view of the city. The day was exhausting but very worth it. We got a lot of tips.
Miguel is the Real Deal!

5.00Honestly, this tour exceeded all expectations. It was engaging, surprising, pacy and yet still and even a bit reverent. Miguel clearly loves his city and his insights and depth of local history layered on a pretty intense photography class. We actually learned techniques and ways to observe and to distill singular elements from a scene, leaving with fantastic photos. Bonus: three teens, one joining at the tail end and two adults with wildly different personalities snd every one of us was engaged and energetic throughout.
Miguel was a treat!

5.00Had a great time with a very nice photographer, Miguel. Knowledgeable about Lisbon and photography. We wandered some of the more off the beaten path locales. Traded photography tips with one another. Had a great time! Highly recommend this tour with him.

5.00Miguel was very knowledgable about the history, the town and told many tales about the history of Lisbon while teaching you the basics of photography and making sure that the knowledge is retained while taking wonderful photos. He was professional during the tour.

5.00We booked a morning tour with Miguel. We've been to Lisbon three times, and have taken a tour with Miguel on each visit. We met at Rossio, and within 5 minutes we were snaking through tiny, picturesque walkways. Miguel just loves showing people his city, and how to photograph it. Regardless of your level of interest in photography, Miguel's energy gets everyone exciting about snapping photos. I do photography as a hobby, so it was fun to see Miguel get my friend using a smartphone, excited about snapping pics. It was a wonderful tour. I can't imagine visiting Lisbon without taking a tour with Miguel.

5.00Our guide was great at personalizing our tour. My travel partner is no spring chicken and so our guide was constantly checking in to adjust the intensity of the walking and gave chances to take breaks. We also are extreme beginners when it comes to photography experience and the guide easily "dumbed down" the technical aspects of photography for us which we really appreciated. We saw great spots in Lisbon and took some great photos!

5.00Booked a full day tour of Lisbon with Miguel, it was a beautiful day. Gave me some things to think about like making simplicity out of chaos, as well as some others points to consider when making photos. Showed some tips when using the mobile phone, besides the typical vacation photos. Dont hesitate to contact him and you will have a history lesson as well.

5.00I had the incredible opportunity to reconnect with Miguel after returning to Lisbon a decade after my first visit. My initial photo tour with him left such a lasting impression that I knew I had to reach out again – and I’m so glad I did! Miguel is not only a true expert in uncovering Lisbon’s hidden gems, but he is also an outstanding photographer with a remarkable ability to share his knowledge. His guidance goes beyond just showing you where to shoot; he generously offers advice, technical tips, and creative insights that elevate your photography skills. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, Miguel’s passion and expertise make the experience both educational and inspiring. Beyond photography, what makes a tour with Miguel so special is the atmosphere he creates. It was a fantastic experience filled with great conversations, laughter, and, of course, amazing shots. It felt like catching up with an old friend while rediscovering the magic of Lisbon through my lens. If you’re looking for a truly enriching and fun photography experience in Lisbon, Lisbon Photo with Miguel is an absolute must! Highly recommended.
