Tour of Alfama - Guided tour with Elvira in the historic center of Lisbon, Alfama district. We had already done two days ago the tour of the lower part of Lisbon (Chiado, Baixia) always with Elvira. Even today’s tour confirmed our expectations: competence, culture, sensitivity and ability to transmit to us visitors his knowledge and experiences of life in Lisbon lightly and always keeping the attention alive, with respect for our limits. We were thus able to get to know a part of the city a little outside the classic sightseeing tours, but full of charm, true and engaging. Super!!!

Alphama the hidden Lisbon - Expertly guided tour by Elvira. That with his passion and expertise, involved us in the discovery of the city of Lisbon and in particular in the Alfama district, a district completely different from the center of Lisbon, but with its charm and history really interesting Beautiful day thanks again Elvira.

Virginia: Passion in every explanation - Virginia conveys in every explanation her passion for this neighborhood. Quiet, quiet, close and pending at all times to gather together so as not to disturb the rest of passers-by outside the freetour and choosing places where not to disturb the neighbors. Enriching visit with its romantic point.
