I am a sociologist with a passion for music and cycling. I love to share Lisbon' stories and history, through the streets where you can find the architecture, cultural traditions and heritage that defines this city. I have spent over a decade introducing travelers to Portugal's storied capital: I've worked as Hostel Manager for many years and I am providing Tours since 2008 (walking, cycling and with vans). In addition my expertise on the city's built-landscape and social geography, I have many years of experience cycling in the city and knowledgeable about the best routes and hidden gems. I love to do custom tours so feel free to ask for any kind of subjects, themes, places or neighborhoods that would be interesting for you and are not listed. The Tours are available in: Portuguese, Spanish, French, English and Italian.

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Close to the River and Sea, in a close relation with them, Lisbon History starts in the hill where today you can see the Castle of S. Jorge. A modern city with heritage from the Romans' period, Islamic occupation or medieval age. A city where an earthquake in 1755 and the following period contributed to shape of the streets that you can walk today. The XIX and the XX century reveal new directions, new architecture and lifestyles. This full and fun day includes the History but also the best Local Cafés, Pastry Shops, the Shopping districts, the Artistic districts and the Hidden gems. We will walk the local pavements that will take us to visit surprising places, enjoy the typical beverages and food, the most beautiful sunset locations and the bohemian life. The diversity, the beauty of the scenario, the amount of interesting places that can be revealed with a guided visit in lisbon justify to book, at least, one fun day experience with me. No extra tickets/paid entrances required and no time waiting in queues!

We met Adriano in front of the Fado Museum and took a leisurely walk around the rustic neighborhood of Alfama where it is peaceful and quiet. In our 8 hours together we saw many of the districts of Lisbon, seeing the historic and contemporary sites. Along the way we saw one-of-a-kind shops and historic crafts. The walk was enjoyable, informative, and fun. At the end of the day we felt we had gotten a real feel of the city of Lisbon. Adriano was the perfect guide and we highly recommend him.

This is the best European tour I have ever experienced. When you are with Adriano, you experience Lisbon with a passionate local expert who loves to share not only the city’s history, but also the culture of past and present, the architectural details of the city’s walls and buildings and the essentials of navigating the neighborhoods while you walk with him. For us, this included where to shop for authentic local artisan products, how to find off-the-tourist-track eateries, historic shops and special uncrowded city viewpoints. He will engage you as a friend and talk about anything that interests you about Lisbon with knowledge and insight. Throughout the day he revisited concepts introduced earlier in the tour and showed us their relevance in each section of the city that we encountered. Adriano is a gifted guide and teacher of all things Lisbon!

In our fabulous one day tour with Adriano, he managed to convey to us the heart and soul of this beautiful city. During the tour Adriano adapted the tour to our interests. It was a really fun day and I would book Adrian again as soon as we are back in this lovely city.

My tour with Adriano, split over 2 days, was an excellent introduction to many of Lisbon's different neighborhoods. Adriano is a terrific guide and his knowledge of and passion for the city and its history and culture is impressive and added tremendously to my experience. He is friendly and did a great job making me feel comfortable and entertained and highly informed wherever we were. Anyone visiting Lisbon will have a wonderful, informative time and likely also a desire to know and experience even more!

This one was all day and was excellent. Adriano is very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and politics of the city. He describes these well and points out changes over the centuries. He is open to suggestions and offers to stop and have some food and shopping if that benefits the tour. He selects an excellent tour route around the city. He knows the the locations of the best views. He provides a nice overview of the people and districts of the city.

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

It possible to walk all over the historical center of Lisbon in 1 day. Regarding the famous hills, with some local knowledge, strategic stops for rest, food and drinks and a custom tour design I will make this experience smoth and fun! Starting in Alfama or Mouraria , walking through/near the Castelo area (but not visiting the castle inside!) to discover Lisbon's oldest neighborhoods, houses and traditions. We will walk then to the the XVIII century, visit Praça do Comércio and Baixa - where we can have a stop for food, drinks and more conversations about Life, Travels, Lisbon, Life in Lisbon… After a portuguese "cafezinho" we will be ready to walk to the central square of Rossio, see the Restauradores square and Avenida da Liberdade. We will still discover the famous Chiado and Bairro Alto neighborhoods before arriving at Principe Real. Note: Visit/Tickets to the Castle are not included. If You would like to visit the Castle of S. Jorge on your own I can adjust the tour to finish at the Castle entrance.
