What if it’s raining? Tours operate rain or shine, but in the case of inclement weather, your expert will modify the tour so more time is spent indoors. It never hurts to have an umbrella on hand.

Bert is an Architect and Writer and holds a Master's Degree in Architectural Engineering and Cultural Sciences. He was born in Belgium and has lived and worked in Amsterdam, Beijing, and Shanghai before relocating to Lisbon in 2018. He established his career through many academic and writing-focused roles throughout his journey – also working as an Architectural consultant. He is the co-director of "MovingCities," an independent research organization investigating the role that architecture and urbanism play in shaping the contemporary city of Lisbon. Bert lived in China from 2006 to 2018, where he first began leading Context walks. He also has a great understanding of Lisbon’s historic legacy, Jewish culture, and architectural style – fields of interest he has studied relentlessly since his first visit to the city in 2003.

Patrícia Gabriel is a creative and enthusiastic chef based in Lisbon since 2010. Having initially pursued a master in Computational Mathematics, Patrícia was a teacher and researcher before changing course to follow her true passion—food. In 2016, she completed a master in Sciences of Gastronomy at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. She loves to cook with unique ingredients found in authentic shops here, and is always looking for the stories and history behind them. In addition to her work with Context, Patrícia offers tailor-made workshops, private chef services and develops menus for special events.

Pedro is a food expert and blogger with an MA in Gastronomical Sciences from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where his thesis focused on the Gastronomy of the city. A life long "lisboeta" he is very much enamoured with his home town, especially its gastronomy, history and architecture. Not only has he studied the cuisine and its different influences and variations, but he previously trained as a Civil Engineer, spending several years working for the city council renovating the historical quarters. In the process, he gained a deep knowledge of some of Lisbon's most characteristic areas which he loves to share with others.
