In the 2nd World War Lisbon swarmed with spies from the main sides in conflict. A Walking tour designed to find out how neutral Portugal provided the natural setting for conspiracy. Inside the city of Lisbon both the Allies and the Axis kept impressive diplomatic services: probably the only place in war-torn Europe where all sides were able to meet on equal grounds. Lisbon suddenly became a true “nest of spies” as mentioned in several period chronicles and the “plane to Lisbon”, as an escape route in the movie Casablanca, remains one of the best known examples. In this walking tour you will visit some of the sites related with the spy stories of: The most famous spy Hotels in Lisbon The refugees and the European fashion trends The lonely fight of the Portuguese consul in Bordeaux The most important WWII double agent: Garbo/Arabel The story of the real James Bond The Jewish gold and the tungsten traffic

Portugal is so full of history around every corner, we really appreciated hearing about some of the men and women who came to Lisbon while it remained neutral during WW2– spies, of course, but also the refugees fleeing other parts of Europe. This tour was full of stories, landmark locations and photographs. The walk itself was well paced and not taxing. Highly recommend as a memorable point of our trip so far. Thanks to Joseph.

This was the highlight of my trip to Lisbon! Jose took us around Lisbon Centre to show us some very interesting buildings and the stories associated with them. Not only did we get WW2 history but also a comprehensive background of the reasons why Portugal stayed neutral. Jose gave us an insight into the lives and activities of various spy agent characters, the whole talk was engaging and entertaining. The added bonus was when he told us about the reminiscences of his 100 year old Grandmother and how the lives of Portuguese women were transformed by the incomers to the city. The tour was incredibly good value in terms of historical content and sheer entertainment. Make sure that you sign up for it when you visit, Lisbon, you won't be disappointed!
