Explore the land of explorers with Context private tours of Lisbon and Sintra. Uncover the history of Lisbon on a full-day or half-day tour with a local scholar, meander cobblestone streets in Alfama with an expert storyteller, or hit the road for Sintra to beat the crowds and see the Pena Palace through the eyes of a historian. Context private walking tours, led by compelling local experts at the top of their fields, will illuminate the past to inform the present. Always personal and catered to the interests of your group, your walking experience of Lisbon will be perfect with Context.

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.
