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.

Bert was an outstanding guide with a deep knowledge of Portuguese history, architecture, politics, art and culture. He provided an excellent overview which helped us put the city and the region in context. We could have spent the entire day with him!
Jaime was a great guide. He provided us with a great overview of Lisbon and its history.
Our walking tour with Tiago was absolutely wonderful in every way! The tour started in Bairro Alto went through Chiado, and ended in Baixa. As we weaved through these areas in Lisbon we couldn't have known to look for or appreciate the layers of rich history and culture that Tiago shared with us during this glorious day out in Lisbon....we learned so much and left with a sense of understanding more about Lisbon and Portugal through the lens of a native who loves his country and city. He has a gift of pointing out details you wouldn’t see especially about the different architectural styles that is his expertise and weaving stories about the history and drawing it all together to make a very concrete impression of our exposure to the sights of Lisbon. All of this while making the time we had together so much fun! We would never felt the miles we walked as he kept things so engaging and connected throughout our time together. My family and I would highly recommend this tour and especially, Tiago. Thank you Tiago and for the suggestions for dining and Fado!
