Frequent Asked Questions about Walking Tours

Are these walking tours right for me?

The tours follow an easy, unhurried rhythm, with frequent pauses to share stories, enjoy viewpoints, and rest along the way.
Participants should be comfortable walking on hills and uneven pavements, which are common in Lisbon. If you’d rather minimize walking while still discovering the city, a tuk tuk tour might be a better fit.

How many people join each tour?

Walking tours are kept small to ensure a friendly and engaging experience, usually with no more than 12 guests.
When groups are larger, audio headsets can be arranged so everyone can follow the guide comfortably without losing the relaxed feel of the tour.

What is the duration of the walking tours?

Tours typically run for about three hours.
This timeframe allows for a deeper exploration of the neighborhoods, with time to enjoy the surroundings without feeling rushed.

What should I plan to bring?

Good walking shoes are highly recommended. Bringing water is a good idea, especially on warmer days, along with sun protection in summer or a light layer when temperatures are cooler. And since Lisbon is very photogenic, many guests like to carry a camera or smartphone.
