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.

An experience through the oldest neighborhoods of the city
Overview of your Lisbon tour
An experience to get to know the origins and foundations of this European Capital. Lisbon's oldest neighborhoods have a lot of history, stories and traditions that must be shared with the visitors. A big old labyrinth made of small streets, staircases and viewpoints worth to explore to understand the past and the identity of Lisbon. You will able to see the oldest fountains of Lisbon, parts of the ancient defensive walls, buildings that resisted the huge 1755 earthquake, the areas that were the birth of the Fado Music and much more. Note: This tour it's only possible to do walking due the small streets and stairs that we find all over this part of the city. I recommend to wear comfortable shoes. No extra tickets/paid entrances required and no time waiting in queues!

We loved our tour with Adriano. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Alfama. He was very personable and we enjoyed being with him. He went above and beyond our expectations. He gave us additional advice about where to eat and visit during our time in Lisbon.

We spent a wonderful day walking through beautiful Liston with Adriano. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has such a brilliant way of weaving through the city that highlights little treasures as well as the main attractions. He has everything you'd want in a tour guide and is a genuine joy to be around. You can't go wrong spending a day touring Lisbon with Adriano.

Amazing tour by Adriano through the old town of Alfama. Very friendly, customized the tour to our wishes, showed us his favorite bakery and bought us his favorite pastry to try (we went there again the next day). He even spent 30 min longer with us to accompany us to a very delicious fish restaurant, also his recommendation! We lernt a lot about Lisbon, especially historical Alfama and he answered all of our questions. Thanks for a perfect half-day together! It was special!

Your Lisbon tour itinerary
I will share with You some of my favourite traditions, locations and viewpoints. From Mouraria, up to the Castle area we will see some of the oldest and narrowest streets of Lisbon and great perspectives of the maze made of little street that will take us through Alfama until the Tejo river. 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.
