About this experience
Take your own Private vehicle to explore one of the most beautiful European capitals. Your tour - your rules! We have an itinerary but you are free to change it at all times to make it your own experience. Drive around the old town, walk in the neighbourhood of Alfama, visit the monuments of Belém and have a Pastel de Nata (Lisbon's typical custard tart) straight out of the oven. This is the best introduction you can have to Lisbon, with a local and with the decisions on your hand.

Excellent Way to See Lisbon
Awesome half day tour with David. He's knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and a great driver! Highly recommend doing this tour. Super easy and fun way to bridge the time between disembarking a ship and checking into a hotel.
Response from the operator: Dear Tracy, Thank you very much for your review of our Lisbon Half Day Tour. Thank you for the compliments too. I totally agree that this is a great way to bridge the time between disembarking a ship and going to the hotel and I would also add that it is great for the ones on red eye flights from the US that land very early and can’t check in before 3pm. I can show you around and keep you awake until you can go to your hotel. Hope to see you again soon for more adventures. Best Regards, David Monteiro

Fabulous Tour Guide!
David Monteiro was our tour guide when we were in Lisbon, Portugal. We found David to be very personable and knowledgeable. He observed that some of the people in our party of 6 had trouble walking up hills, and he quickly and effortlessly altered our tour to meet our needs. David is a very enthusiastic tour guide, who loves showing off his beautiful country. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Portugal, we would not hesitate to book any and all of our tours with David.
Response from the operator: Dear Harriet, Thank you so much for your review of our Lisbon Half Day Tour. It was a pleasure taking your lovely group of 6 around the highlights of Lisbon and adapting to your needs. We always try out best to make sure everyone feels comfortable on our tours, no matter their disabilities. Glad to hear you would not hesitate booking with us again and I am hopeful that happens sooner than later as you didn’t spend much time here before your cruise. Best Regards, David Monteiro

David is a professional, local tour guide with vast knowledge and experience. He made sure we saw the best of Lisbon, including the best food spots. He's very personable and engaging. Highly recommend his tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Kalyani, Thank you so much for your review of our Lisbon Half Day Tour. It was a pleasure taking you and your sons around our capital city and guide you through some of the neighborhoods as a local. Was a bit sad that you already had your plans for Porto lined up, as I am sure we would have a terrific time had you booked everything with us. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Best Regards, David Monteiro

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Highlights PRIVATE Half Day Tour with a local Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
