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.

Cannot recommend Adriano highly enough! His enthusiasm and appreciation of Lisbon were infectious, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the hours we spent with him. We loved learning about the history of Lisbon, and discovering hidden gems throughout the walk. Adriano has many insights and obviously loves sharing them with newcomers. Even after our tour was done, Adriano sent us follow-ups and suggestions on places he thought we would enjoy. We felt like we had made a new friend by the end of the tour. Thank you, Adriano!

We selected Adriano because of his stated,"joy in sharing Lisbon with visitors". And his passion and knowledge of his City and its culture was quite clear. We especially enjoyed the way he introduced the uniqueness of neighborhoods, history, architecture in such an interesting and at times humorous way. We had great conversations with Adriano and the time flew by. Since this was our first trip to Portugal we wanted to have a good orientation and Adriano was an excellent choice.

Adriano provided an excellent walking tour of many areas of Lisbon. He has a great knowledge of the history, politics and architecture of the districts. We enjoyed the many interesting side stories and hidden interiors of various buildings. He recommended excellent restaurants based on our cuisine and surroundings. Adriano set the pace we wanted. Afterwards we felt that we knew many dimensions of Lisbon and loved the city.

Lisbon is a city full of surprises - that is if you have a local guide like Adriano. He showed me all the hidden and beautiful places I could have just pass by without noticing. I could feel that Adriano really adores the city. What he talked about during the tour is not just a history but also his insights and all the hidden gems that you can't find in a guide book. Out of all the guides I toured with , I'm confidently say he's the most professional yet so genuine and considerate guide ever.

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

From Praça do Comércio we will be able to understand some important moments in the city and in the country. Walking through the Baixa and Chiado neighborhoods we can see some of the changes that happened after the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and discover the "new" architecture, historical shops and cafes now integrated in the main areas of the historical center. We will have opportunities to enjoy panoramic views and get extra energy to walk towards Principe Real, enjoying the streets of Bairro Alto and many surprises and curiosities on the way. No extra tickets/paid entrances required and no time waiting in queues!
