3-hour Lisbon Private City Tour

Enjoy a comprehensive overview of Lisbon's fascinating history and must-see sites with your private tour guide

ABOUT THE 3-hour Lisbon Private City Tour

This 3-hour private tour will introduce you to Lisbon's top attractions and walk you through the history of Portugal's capital city. Your expert local tour guide will take you to must-see sights such as Baixa Pombalina, Rossio Square, the Santa Justa Elevator and the Praça do Comércio.

 

Join us on a tour of Lisbon’s greatest treasures

The port city of Lisbon has been a major Atlantic hub since medieval times. A strong naval and maritime tradition, coupled with the country’s strategic position on the western shores of continental Europe, saw her colonial possessions expand to include parts of Southern Africa, Macao, East Timor and modern-day Brazil. While Portugal’s colonial days are long behind her, the country’s capital has been going through a revival in recent years, and some would say its influence on the world stage is greater than ever.

Together with an expert local guide, you’ll explore all the nooks and crannies of this fascinating city. You’ll marvel at Gothic masterpieces like the Baixa Pombalina and Rossio Square, while hearing about the Portuguese Inquisition, the Carnation Revolution and the tiny kingdom’s Age of Discovery. The 3-hour private tour also has time to take in Barrio Alto; the world-famous haunt of bohemian writers and artists.

Booking an extended private tour affords visitors total flexibility, meaning guests can move through sights and attractions at a pace that suits them personally. By reaching out to us in advance, it is also possible to tailor your itinerary to include a starting time, date or place that is not available online, or to focus on specific topics or areas that are of interest to you. If this is relevant to you, please feel welcome to get in contact here.

Explore Lisbon at your own pace

This 3-hour private tour covers the main must-see sights of Lisbon at a leisurely pace. You also have the option of stopping off for a coffee or a snack partway through.

More time with your expert local guide means that you’ll get great inside scoops about museums, theatres, clubs or about the best local food and wines that will make the rest of your trip to Lisbon a memorable one.
