Olá! I'm Alexandra, a storyteller inspired by history... and a few myths. Over 30 years ago, I moved to Lisbon after spending my childhood in Switzerland. Exploring different cultures, learning new languages, and traveling opened my eyes to what I truly wanted: a life as a full-time wanderer. Living in this stunning country and region has made that dream a reality. Deep knowledge of my region’s history, traditions, and culture is essential to be an excellent host, local expert, or guide. Fortunately, I embody all of these roles. I’m a guide by profession, a local expert by passion, and a host by empathy. Since 2013, I’ve fully committed to this calling, welcoming every traveler as if they were family or close friends. Understanding that travel is a time for relaxation and discovery, I aim to make our journey enjoyable and engaging. Rather than overwhelming you, I share just the right amount of my knowledge to enrich your experience while immersing you in new cultures and stories. **Credentials & Qualifications** •License No. 492/2015, issued by the Portuguese Tourism Office •History of the Arts by Antonio Arroio School of Arts •Professional Photography Course by the Portuguese Institute of Photography •Interpretation of Cultural Heritage by Tourism School •Touristic Animation by Tourism of Portugal •Every year, I participate in retraining programs and learn from various recognized organizations to continuously improve my skills and stay updated in my field. **Accessibility Note** Some destinations may not be suitable for those with mobility challenges.

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Embark on a guided slow-paced walking tour through the captivating city of Lisbon, exploring its historic hills and uncovering the wonders that define Old Lisbon. Your journey begins in the lively Chiado district, known for its historic cafés and the world’s oldest bookshop. From here, head to the hauntingly beautiful Carmo Convent, a poignant reminder of Lisbon’s past, before ascending to the Santa Justa Elevator for panoramic views of the city. Continue to São Pedro de Alcântara Garden, offering stunning vistas over the city and the Tagus River. As you descend towards the river, pass landmarks like Praça dos Restauradores, Rossio Square, and the Rua Augusta Arch, reaching the grand Praça do Comércio with views of the Tagus River. Ascend back into the hills to stroll through Alfama’s picturesque streets, leading to the iconic São Jorge Castle. Along the way, enjoy historical insights, local snacks, and a traditional Portuguese liqueur.
