Lisbon Tours and Experiences Hosted by Local Experts

When you think of Lisbon, you imagine yellow trams climbing the hilly terrain. Traditional Fado music carries through the air as locals dance on a Friday evening – merriment spills out into the cobblestone streets – and the delicate aroma of fresh Pastel de Nata wafts on the breeze. 

If you’re a Context traveler, you’ve just enjoyed the perfect experience of Lisbon in a Day, where your Expert perfectly executed every detail of the itinerary – tailored to suit your group’s interests, that you filled our team in on while you were booking. 

Tomorrow you could be waking up early to enjoy a day trip to Sintra, with many extravagant villas and fairytale-esque castles to enjoy. The history of this unique region is brought to life by your local expert, who guides you through this charming village, which was once the summer retreat of Portuguese royalty.

Your Context Tour becomes the highlight of your experience. It is also an investment in local culture – supporting the research and continued expertise of hundreds of local historians, chefs, professors, and more. 

Join a small group walking tour to see Lisbon through the eyes of an expert with 10 or fewer travelers, or choose a private tour and discover the top sites in the city side-by-side with a private guide.

Great introduction to Lisbon tour with Ian! We were running a bit late trying to navigate the unfamiliar streets of Lisbon, but communication with Context Tours was top notch and they were able to ensure that everything would go as planned. We met at the pre-arranged spot and enjoyed a pleasant meet and greet over a coffee. Weather to start was rainy so it was a few minutes well spent getting to know each other till the rain cleared. Ian is a pro at touring and provided some really interesting and useful information about the city. The earthquake fires, some of his favorite spots in Lisbon were fascinating. Similar to other Context tours we took, the information that Ian shared with us suited us well for our entire stay. Great knowledge of the history of the city as well as the restaurants and shops. In addition to the landmark and hidden gems, Ian provided valuable suggestions to use for the rest of our tour. We would highly recommend Ian to get your toes wet when visiting Lisbon
Rute was very knowledgeable and also very pleasant to spend the morning with.
Great tour. Ian made history come alive as he shared about Lisbon. He brings an incredible depth of knowledge into the history of Portugal which is complimented by his understanding of the culture today.
