Sitting astride seven hills and overlooking the majestic Rio Tejo, lies the exquisite city of Lisbon. Replete with centuries-old history, yet exuding a youthful vibe, the city is a delightful place to explore. Take a private Lisbon shore excursion with a local guide who is eager to share the best of this European capital with you.

The sights in Lisbon are plenty - from St Jerome Monastery to the Belem Tower - and walking around its many enchanting neighbourhoods with a knowledgeable local is a wonderful way to discover the city. Take a bright yellow tram through the narrow cobbled streets of the Moorish Alfama quarter and enjoy lunch on a patio while listening to traditional Fado music. Shop the upscale boutiques in trendy Chiado, and ride the steep funicular to the Bairro Alto for the city's best nightlife.

Your guide is happy to customize a private Lisbon shore excursion that suits your unique travel interests in this beautiful Portuguese city.
