Take Lisboa

I did the "Free Tour Centre" walking tour of Chiado and Bairro Alto with Sara and it was great. The tour was history focussed and detailed but in an accessible manner. Sara has a fresh and amusing way of telling historical stories.

Just finished the Alternative tour with Margarida. Her infectious energy and her obvious love for street art and Lisbon made this one of the best tours I've done ever. Lots of laughter, aha moments and just fun all around. Highly recommend this tour for the offbeat and properly local (I think our group made for the only tourists I saw for 2 hours) sights of Lisbon.

I participated in two tours with take lisboa. One was in Sintra and one in the center of Lisbon. I enjoyed both a lot and give here my recommendation. The tours are free walking tours, so you pay at the end as much as you want. Keep in mind that this needs to pay the tour guide and the agency. The tours all last 2.5 hours with 15 min toilet break and are in English or Spanish. They have great tour guides that give you a lot of background knowledge in an interesting and humorous way.

I really enjoyed the alternative free tour that Take Lisboa offered. We went to the Graca neighborhood which I'm sure I would otherwise have never seen, and we saw tons of great street art along the way. The highlight for me were the ones by Shepherd Fairey (Obey). Learning about the culture of street art was really cool. Yuri was a great guide and great storyteller. Definitely recommend.

Yuri was amazing - his passion coupled with his singing made the tour awesome. Highly recommend!!
