My name is Catarina and I am a certified tourist guide since 2011. I live in Lisbon and I'm passionate about this city and all it has to offer for those who visit it. After I finished my degree in Touristic Information I went to England, but in 2015 I returned to Lisbon to do what I love the most: to show the charms and secrets of my beautiful country to those visiting it! I will show you Lisbon's landmarks such as the Castle of St. Jorge. Together we will explore Lisbon's most secretive corners, the ones you won't find in any tourist guide! At the end you will feel like a true native and even more in love with this beautiful city. Always at your own pace. Come with me and discover the best places in one of the trendiest countries at the moment! "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail" - Ralph Waldo Emerson Licensed Tourist Guide since 2011 None

Overview of your Lisbon tour

If you have hear about Fado but never went to a Fado show, this is the perfect tour for you! We start with an introduction to this unique kind of song: how it came to be, how it is characterized and what means to be a true Fadista. You will learn some interesting details about Fado, such as the fact that it was classified as imaterial cultural heritage in by UNESCO 2011. The tour ends in a cozy restaurant where you will have the chance to experience the uniqueness of Fado while trying some Portuguese delicacies.

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

We will start the tour in Mouraria - the neighbourhood that is considered the cradle of Fado. There will be time to go to one of the most quaint taverns you will come across in Lisbon and try the delicious drink "Ginjinha". This should give us the boost we need to get to Alfama where we will explore its narrow streets. We leave the best to last, as you will get to enjoy dinner and a Fado show in a cozy Fado house of Alfama.
