Cultural & History Tours in Lisbon

On my recent visit to Lisbon with our football team (16 adults), I organized a Sitgo tour of Alfama's old town. 11 of us presented for this excursion on a lovely Sunday morning in late March. I had booked on line and the Sitgo guys were very comfortable as I could not give exact numbers. We were given a 10 minute training slot and by 1130 we were accompanied by our guide Pepe and our cameraman Goncalo. It was the best fun trip I had experienced for some time while we wondered about the old town. Pepe was excellent with all his knowledge of Lisbon and we had time for a quick Chocolate and Liquor stop on our way. The fun was great and we even sang some song verses as we enjoyed our sitways. Basically just to explain a bit about the sitway these are a form of Sedgeways but here you are in a sitting position. They are easy to get used too and you will be up and running in no time. The highest speed is about 16 miles per hour and the hills of the old town were easily negotiated as we made our way to the gates of the street. George's castle. Finally, I don't think this would work without the excellent input from our Sitgo, Pepe and Gonçalo guides, who kept the whole 90 minutes relaxed and enjoyable and for € 25 of money well spent.

We are a family of 4 and booked with SitGo weeks before arriving in Portugal; a decision we are so happy to have made. Ieda & John are wonderful guides; They kept us in their sights at all times of safety and connecting us every step of the way! Although the meeting was postponed to an unexpected road closure and they had to drive their van to us on a different route, we were able to keep each other posted via Wi-Fi, so you'd better have it on your phone. We had a lot of family and group fun with the guides. They are very knowledgeable with their history of places we stop at. Our only regret is that we no longer had time to walk in the Alfama / Fado district, especially the church. This is not the guides fault, but my just as instead of checking the interior of the church, I would have preferred to check out a pottery shop that we passed before arriving at the church :). . . We totally recommend this tour to everyone so it is very valuable for your time and money. We do not feel discomfort or pain throughout the next day either. . . a truly wonderful way to see parts of Lisbon and we want to repeat another SitGo experience in another city for sure! ! ! You go guys, you have a good product there! !

We went to Lisbon on the 1st of december. We had been there several times and wanted to discovery a different city so we booked with city guru. I must Tell you it beat all our expectations. First of all we told them we had two pets traveling with us and they say no problem and recommend us the garden tour. We arrived to the meeting point at 10 to 10 and then We had another fantastic surprise, her name Marisa, a spanish girl, with her explanations we visited many interesting places. We really recommend it!!

Rui is an exceptional guide. He is knowledgeable, humble, reliable and so passionate about the area.He took us to the major attractions and on some back roads of Sintra telling us interesting facts and fascinating stories that made the facts come alive. On the way back to Lisbon he also went out of his way to point out other areas of interest and answer our questions about Portugal. It was such an authentic and unique tour. I recommend touring with West Vagabond Tours (Rui) in the highest terms possible.

My teenage daughter and I took the Old Town Tour. Although we had already walked around, it was really informative and interesting to learn more about the history and buildings in the area.
The sitgos were a lot of fun. We were a little apprehensive at first but they were easy to get off the slope of, although my background was a little sunken af ​​the end!
A very fun hour and a half. I would definitely recommend - the reactions of other tourists as we passed also made us laugh!

The Parque das Na turned out to be not only beautiful, but much more interesting after this tour. I was guided by hello Gon who knows many stories about the place and was really nice while driving us through them as we went together sat in the future, as they say. The sitway seemed a challenge to me, but it ended up very quickly in a fun and different way to visit the site. . . Amazing architecture, fair cost, great orientation. I highly recommend this activity.

We had a great time with Raphaela, she was very nice and friendly and told us about Lisbon's Old Town and its history. She was a great tour guide and we enjoyed it so much that we even booked another tour with Sitgo and she gave us a voucher for that. Segways are great, easy to use, and much better than climbing steep hills. I really recommend Sitgo and Raphaela to anyone who wants to see the old part of Lisbon and have a great time doing so.

My friends and I booked the "Random Lisbon Zen" tour in Lisbon with City Guru and had such a great time! It was our second time in Lisbon and we were searching for something different to do. They´re very friendly and professional guides, gave us a lot of useful information about the city, and learn so much about amazing places in Lisbon that we wouldn´t even imagine to discover on our own. Highly recommended!

We went on the night drive. As it was at the end of the season there is only my husband and I. The segways are really easy to operate and the guide was knowledgeable and fun.

We cross the conked streets of Alfana district to the Se Cathedral and back down. We stop for cherry - cherry liqueur in chocolate cups - which is not to like!

I am desperate to do this again.

My family first tried this when they were in Lisbon last week and we really enjoyed it! It was very funny! We explored the streets of the old city with our guides who were very friendly and very informative. It was an experience we have never had before and I recommend it especially if you have teenagers with you. They will really enjoy this alternative tour.

We had a few days in Lisbon and wanted to make the most of everything. We took a very fun and guided city tour for about an hour and a half and felt like locals. The guide gave us good explanations and took us to great places! The staff was also very attentive when passing safety guidelines. It was very worth it!

Rui is a fantastic tour guide! Caring, knowledgeable, and well-rounded. I did two tours with him: a one-day surfing trip and Sintra-Cabo da Roca - Cascais. Both left me amazed!
If you're looking for something cozy and tailored just for you, then West Vagabond Tours is exactly what you need!

The three of us loved our walking tour of Lisbon with Jaoa. He has the ability to impart a lot of knowledge while walking at a leisurely pace through the cobblestone back streets of the city. It was the perfect experience of learning a lot and being in good company.

I had the opportunity to make a Night Riders. It was amazing, we went through very typical places of the Alfama neighborhood and still had a Ginjinha. The guide knew a lot about the sights. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful personal tour. Great pace and all my questions answered.

Thanks very much.

My feed back:
Our tour was on a Saturday, when yr office is closed apparently. It was hard to find yr location and we had trouble with phone communication so were VERY happy when we arrived and found our tour guide.
We loved walking around and the historical info our guide gave us, and really appreciated the cup of coffee and water!
We had a different expectation of " tour of secret Lisbon gardens ", and so were disappointed. I think you have to call yr tour : A walk through public parks.
Having worked as a garden designer/landscape architect in the US and the Netherlands for the last 30 yrs, I expected more knowledge about the various trees and shrubs and growing conditions, more about what is going on in the landscape architecture world of Portugal, in short more about gardens and gardening.
