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.”
