Great tour of the backstreets of Lisbon!

5.00We had a great time with Igor walking the backstreets of Lisbon , hearing the history of the area and personal stories about the people who lived here. We never would have stumbled into this area and understood all the history around us. Igor was very knowledgeable and answered our questions with a very easy going manner. His pride in the city and love of the Portuguese culture came through and influenced all of us. I would recommend this tour with Igor to anyone who wants to really get a feel of the city and the people who live there.
Best for people with curiosity!

5.00We loved the fact that we (2 couples) could book a tour exclusively for us! That meant a lot to us, because we could do everything innour own space! Igor was really knowledgable and also a very sweet person. We learned a lot from him and got to suck in the true portugese soul! The tour really lived up to its name! We loved it, and tomorrow we will go to Sintra for a full day trip with him, also exclusive for us! We cannot wait! Thank you for showing us your beautiful town.

5.00Can not be more grateful for the amazing street tour Igor gave our group. I feel we got to experience "true" Portuguese living. Very informative, very accommodating to our interests. Thanking for bringing us to Deolinda Rocha's studio to purchase handmade tiles. Your information on Jose Saramago was so interesting that the book "Blindness" was waiting for me when we got home.
