I'm Alex, a 31 year old archaeologist and travel guide passionate about the flipside of history and the small curiosities and oddities that evade our everyday gaze! I have 5 years of experience as a tour guide in Portugal and Spain, and there's nothing I like more than exploring and researching local history and translating it to open-minded travellers that want to get under the skin of places.
The westernmost capital of Europe is a city plagued by contrasts: once the richest city in the continent, it is now a chaotic, contradictory and mesmerizingly beautiful city rising out of the ashes of its own conflicted history.
Join me in a walking tour passing through the heart of the city, set against a dark past of medieval massacres, natural catastrophes, coups, dictatorships and revolutionaries and all the rich and wild events that have shaped Lisbon and made it a truly unique city.
We will explore famous sights along with some lesser-known areas and jewels hidden in the maze of streets surrounding the downtown, getting under the skin of the city and the underground currents that have shaped its form.
If you're looking for an initiation into the mysteries of Lisbon's character, an informal local perspective on the city's history and habits, then this is your tour!
In Largo do Carmo, next to the arched fountain. I'll be on the look out and we'll find each other!
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
