If you have never been to Lisbon and would like to get your bearings within the city together with a good historical introduction to it, this is the tour for you, and the one you should take before you take any of my other tours!
Come explore with the most vibrant neighboorhood in the city: Chiado. Home to the oldest bookstores in Lisbon, meeting place of intellectuals, writers and musicians. This is where the locals meet for coffee, shopping, dinner and also for the venues at the local theatres and the operahouse.
We will start our tour on the top of Santa Justa elevator, one of the best viewpoints over the city. From here we can see the opposite hill where the Castle of St. George is located, the Cathedral, the Tagus river and all the downtown. After understanding how the city’s urban landscape had developed over time, we will walk together to Carmo square, where one of the big steps of our revolution of 1974 took place.
I will show where you can find some of my favourite restaurants in the city while we make out way to Garrett street, the epicentre of this lively area, home to some of the historical shops of Lisbon, and we will stroll it together, making our way to Lisbon’s downtown, where I will invite you to come walk with me on your next visit to Lisbon!

Born and raised in Portugal, I am the daughter of a Portuguese French teacher and a Peruvian musician and crafter.
I have been a licensed guide for my beautiful country since 2008, always investing in increasing my knowledge on its history, culture, food and way of life. As a national guide, I have traveled extensively throughout my country but also abroad, as I worked as a tour manager until 2017. Since then, I have been specializing even more in my home city, Lisbon, and its surroundings, being a full-time local guide and putting to use my storytelling engaging techniques.
In my spare time I am currently studying therapeutic massage and learning how to sew. I love reading, gardening and dancing.
