Hello! My name is Francisco, and I’m a proud Lisbon native—what we call an alfacinha here in Portugal. Having lived my entire life in this vibrant city, I’ve developed an intimate knowledge of its hidden gems and a deep passion for Portuguese culture, history, and gastronomy. These three pillars make Portugal such a fascinating and inviting destination for visitors worldwide. After many years as a corporate executive, I decided to turn my lifelong passion into a career. In 2015, I launched my business as a "Chief Experience Officer," dedicated to showcasing the beauty and richness of my hometown and country. This role allows me to share Portugal's stories, culture, and breathtaking locations while learning from the extraordinary people I meet every day. My tours are highly customizable, ensuring that you—my guests—are always the center of the experience. While most tours start and end in Lisbon, I also offer multi-day programs that can cover other incredible destinations across Portugal. And I can cater to all your transportation and tour needs. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for in the options provided, please don't hesitate to reach out. I’ll be happy to create a personalized itinerary tailored to your preferences, group size and schedule. Also if you wish to book more than one tour or more than one day, please request a custom program where I can make a discount when 3 or more days/ tours are on the same trip. I look forward to welcoming you to my beautiful country and sharing its wonders with you. Driver Guide Certification Portuguese Tourism Office Licence nº RNAAT 687/2015

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Join me on an unforgettable walking tour through Lisbon's historical center, where every step reveals a story and every bite celebrates the essence of Portuguese gastronomy. In five delightful food stops, we’ll uncover the traditions behind some of Portugal’s beloved snacks, fast meals, drinks, and desserts. Each stop offers a taste of our rich culinary heritage, crafted with simplicity, authenticity, and the freshest local ingredients—a true reflection of our deep connection to the land and sea.

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

The tour will start at the restauradores square, or I can meet you at your hotel if it's in the area, and we will start by lisbon's downtown, Rossio and Commerce Square, move through Alfama and up to the Castle, return to downtown and climb again up to Chiado to cover most of Lisbon's historical center. Periodically in some of these locations we will stop for a bite of one of portugal's food traditions, finishing up with one modern creation that is already in itself a tradition. If you have any food allergies please let me know. During the course of the tour we will have food that contains, meat, fish, dairy and gluten, but not all at the same time, so we will try to find alternatives to your situation.
