Lisbon Private 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. 

Gain Context on Lisbon and make the most of your trip while creating unforgettable memories.

Excellent introduction to the Alfama neighborhood as well as to Lisbon and Portugal more generally. This tour covered well known sights and highlighted hidden gems. While Lisbon in general is easy to navigate, using a Context guide is definitely an advantage in Alfama given its steep and winding streets
Estela is a perfect example of what makes Context walks so valuable — and so much fun. Her knowledge and experience as well as her insights into the history and culture that shaped Lisbon made this a most informative walk. This was the perfect way to begin our Portugal travels.
Pedro was wonderful. Our tour gave us insight into local history, customs, food and architecture in the company of a charming host who also shared restaurant ideas as well as tips for further exploration of Lisbon. A terrific experience all around.
