Join Pedro, Vasco, or another English, Portuguese, or German-speaking guide for a two-hour street art walk from BessaHotel Liberdade toward Lisbon’s castle hill. Explore old streets and alleys, hear how street art grew in the city, photograph murals, and finish back at the meeting point.
“Pedro is kind and sweet! He showed us the best art in Lisbon! It was very interesting and fun! Thank you Pedro!”
Spend about three hours walking Lisbon’s Alfama, Graça, and São Vicente with photographer-guide Carlos Reveles. Bring your own camera or phone and learn how to read light, frame street scenes, photograph trams in motion, and work with viewpoints, churches, and everyday neighborhood life.
“Carlos is friendly and knowledgeable. He was generous with his time and experience. Saw lots of unique sites and the pace was just right.”
Spend 2.5 hours with a private photographer-guide exploring Lisbon’s viewpoints, Bairro Alto, Pink Street, Commerce Square, Rua Augusta, and Rossio. You’ll receive help finding good photo locations, enjoy a drink at Pensão Amor, and finish where you started.
“We were at the meeting point on time and no guide showed up. I called and they said they had cancelled our tour because of “a problem with the guide”. No one ever told us ahead of time, and we wasted an Uber ride to the meeting point. My credit card was charged the day before and I had a confirmation number. Very disappointing.”
Meet Lisbon-born photographer Carlos at Chafariz das Moiras for a three-hour Alfama photo walk. Learn composition, light, and street photography with a camera or smartphone, then finish near Sé Cathedral after exploring scenic viewpoints and quieter lanes.
“This was a good fun activity and Carlos was a great guy. He gave us some tips on technique and took us to some great spots to get some interesting shots. We got to see some interesting parts of Alfama and not just the usual tourist stuff. A really enjoyable morning.”
Join a Lisbon-born photographer for a private two-hour walk from Miradouro da Senhora do Monte through Alfama to Largo da Madalena. Learn golden-hour, low-light, street, and motion photography with your camera, film camera, or smartphone.
“Very knowledgeable and friendly tour leader. I got some amazing night photos and learnt some knew tricks with my iphone”
Join professional photographer Carlos Reveles for a private two-hour walk from Senhora do Monte to the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene. You’ll photograph Lisbon at golden hour, blue hour, and night, with guidance on long exposures, light trails, and optional photo feedback.
“Had a great time talking and learning from Carlos. He is very knowledgeable of the history and best locations to capture interesting photographs. Although we were rained out, Carlos was determined to stay and offered to continue the tour. He also offered me the opportunity to reschedule and do it again the next day which was much appreciated.”
Join Gilby VM for a small-group photo walk through Alfama and Graça. You’ll photograph tiled lanes, old streets, and city viewpoints while learning composition, light, angles, and social media framing with a phone or camera.
Meet your photographer at Rossio Square at 9:00 am for a private two-to-three-hour walk through Lisbon’s oldest district. Guides such as Leo and Leyanet combine local history with portrait photography, giving you both a closer look at the city and quality images to share.
“Great tour, highly recommend it! My guide was Leyanet and he did a great job. Perfect combination of visiting Lisbon. Recommend it.”
