This tours includes a deep diving in the narrow streets of central Lisbon, plus the tour of Belém. In Belém we visit the UNESCO monuments (Tower and Monastery). The Belém segment is done by tuk tuk. If you have children (>6 years old) they will love this option. This tour aims for those who are going to be in Lisbon for a short period of time or for those who want to have an overview of the city on the first day, and then explore the city at their own pace.
The “boots&wheels” option allows you to combine the best of both worlds, the walking tour in the neighborhoods of Alfama, Baixa and Chiado and the tuk tuk tour allows you to travel to Belem.

Torre de Belem, Lisbon, Portugal Belem Tower is the lonely sentinel of the city of Lisbon. Built on the right bank of the Tagus as a defensive structure, it has been welcoming during the last 5 centuries those who enter and leave Lisbon by sea.
Built between 1514 and 1519 it is the jewel in the crown of Portuguese architecture. The style of construction is Manueline as can be seen from the exuberant decoration in elements of nature. 60 minutes
Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, Lisbon, Portugal This viewpoint is the center of the old town. Down to the river there is Alfama, the original settlement of Lisbon. Within a radius of 10 minutes walking there is the Castle, the viewpoint of Santa Luzia, Alfama, Saint Vincent Monastery and the National Pantheon. Miradouro Portas do Sol is the place where the traces of Moorish occupation are more visible. 50 minutes
Miradouro de Santa Luzia, Lisbon, Portugal Santa Luzia viewpoint is the most Instagramable spot of Lisbon. Built on the old wall, offers a privileged view over Alfama, the oldest neighborhood of Lisbon, over the Tagus and the south bank.
The view from this viewpoint is exactly the same as the one you get from the nearby Portas do Sol viewpoint, but the place itself is much more pleasant, with the setting given by the bougainvillea and the live music. 30 minutes
Alfama, Lisbon, Portugal No one can say they know the capital of Portugal without getting lost in Alfama, where Lisbon was born.
During the first millennium BC. the great civilizations of the Mediterranean (Greeks, Phoenicians, Carthaginians) established permanent occupation in Alfama as a support base for their navigations between the Mediterranean and northern Europe.
In century VIII, long after the departure of the Romans, the Moors (Islamic populations of North Africa) dominated the city but were not happy to live in a Roman city and built a madina in the image of the cities in Morocco.
During the 2nd Crusade (1147), knights from almost all of Europe, including French, German, Dutch, Italian, English and Scots carried out a siege that resulted in the fall of Lisbon to Christendom.
The area between churches of St Michael and St Stephan is the most picturesque in Alfama. The visitor who decides to join this tour in Alfama will find an opportunity to take a picture in every alley and wherever they turn. 60 minutes
Lisbon Baixa, Lisbon, Portugal Baixa, the city of Pombal, is the flat area of Lisbon that starts at Squares of Rossio and Figueira to the north and extends south to Square of Commerce where the city opens onto Tagus river.
On November 1, 1755, the city of Lisbon was hit by a major earthquake, followed by a tsunami and a fire that lasted several days. No neighborhood in Lisbon was hit as hard as Baixa. Simultaneously with the tragedy, the historic opportunity also arose to build a modern city in the center of Lisbon.
The general plan for Baixa was drawn up in just 5 months. The royal palace of Ribeira was removed from Palace Courtyard, which was renamed Square of Commerce. The main street of Baixa became Rua Augusta, which starts at Rossio and ends at Arco Triunfal of Square of Commerce. 40 minutes
Chiado, Lisbon, Portugal 19th century saw many of the current buildings being built in the Pombaline style, following the model of Baixa.
Chiado was the epicenter of Portugal in the roaring 1920s. In this area of the city, clubs, restaurants and gambling halls multiplied. Seeing and being seen as a criterion of social relevance made Lisbon society roam itself in Chiado.
In the 50 meters restricted to cars at the top of Garrett St there are several establishments that, a century ago, already had the same name and the same decoration that you can see today. Start by going to “Paris in Lisbon” to do your shopping. Then cross Garrett St for a coffee at Pastry shop “Benard”. Further up you will find another pastry shop, “Brasileira”. Between the two pastry shops is the Hotel Borges, the oldest in Lisbon.
With a little imagination you can even travel back in time. Sit down on one of the terraces and imagine listening to the jazz-band playing Charleston as if you were in the roaring 20s. 60 minutes

We had an amazing experience on this tour. Joao was the best tour guide anyone could ask for, patient, knowledgeable, friendly and super accommodating. We were slightly lost to the meet up point. Sent a picture and next thing we know, Joao was waiting for us at the bottom of the hill. All the talks about GInjinha on the ride made us very curious about the drink, and we stopped right in front the fado museum for a quick treat. Not to mention our tour ran overtime (almost 5 hours) and Joao didn't skip any stops!! After the tour, we felt we were ready for everything this city has to offer and where to find it!! The amazing artworks, historical sites, gastro pubs, you name it, and they were all included on this ride. Thank you Joao for this unforgettable experience!!
