Best tour guide ever!
Absolutely amazing day. Our tour guide Alex was the best ever who has so much knowledge and passion for the city and its history it just added to our experience. My husband is in a wheelchair, and Alex had walked the route he was planning to take us the day before to check it was all accessible. Can’t recommend Alex enough. Thank you for the most wonderful day and for showing us around your beautiful city x
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Alex made your day so special, combining his deep knowledge and passion for the city with thoughtful consideration for your husband’s accessibility needs. It’s fantastic that he went the extra mile to ensure the route was fully accessible and that you could enjoy every moment of your experience. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us, and we’re thrilled that your experience exploring the city with Alex was so memorable. We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to him!

For a great Lisbon tour, book Ricardo!
Ricardo was a perfect guide. He was punctual for our meeting time and place. He was knowledgeable of Lisbon and Portugal in general and we learned a lot from him. He was pleasing to our desires and kind and respectful to all in our group. He went beyond being a tour guide and gave us many recommendations on other topics such as where to buy and find good Portuguese books, Portuguese products and recommended Portuguese movies which was an interest of mine. I recommend him highly and would like to tour with him again on our future visits to Portugal.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback! We're absolutely delighted that you had such a positive experience with Ricardo. It’s wonderful to know he not only provided an insightful and engaging tour of Lisbon, but also went above and beyond to tailor the experience to your interests — from book recommendations to local products and films. We truly hope to welcome you back on another experience soon — and of course, we’d love to pair you with Ricardo again on your future visits to Portugal!

Great experience in Lisboa
Bruno was fantastic as a guide, we booked a full day tour with him while visiting Lisbon. He met us at our hotel and we began our walk of Lisbon to see all the key sights a person should see the first time in Lisbon. Very knowledgeable, personable and maintained a good pace for us. Would definitely recommend him and the tour to our friends.
Response from the operator: So glad to hear you had such a great day exploring Lisbon with Bruno — thanks for the lovely feedback and for recommending the experience!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lisbon Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $11 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 Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 34 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 Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems?
+
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 Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems?
+
Around 12 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Private Custom Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 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.
