Know before you go
- Wheelchair accessible
- Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Transportation options are wheelchair accessible
- Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
- You will have between 1-2 hours for lunch.
- During the high season the queues for the Belém Tower and Monastery are quite big reaching 1 hour or more which is why they are not included as slot times are not provided. If clientes wish to visit either of them, we recommend going first thing in the morning.
- The entrances that are excluded, are not part of the tour as to visit each one the tour would take longer than 8 hours. It is possible to visit them all or some of them, but then the tour would have to be adjusted and some other sites would have to be excluded. As its a private tour, just inform the guide if you want to visit some of those sites to adjust the tour to your liking.
- Furthermore, as this is a tour in a car or minivan, the rest of the time will be spent commuting from place to place.

Bernardo is the Best
My husband and I’s first trip to Lisbon for a few days. Upon a referral from friends in Arizona USA, we fortunately connected and booked with the one and only Bernardo Rufino. He is simply the best. Son of a Portuguese Diplomat, raised and educated in many place, his heart and soul is Portugal thru and thru. His English is perfection, his depth of knowledge of history, culture, art, restaurants, politics(if you ask) are on point and exactly what my husband and I hoped. Our tour booking with Bernardo was from 9am till 5 but we were having such a pleasurable time, we didn’t say our goodbye till just past 6! He is fun, charming, and a joyful conversationalist. He gets you to where you want to go. He suggests the top iconic locations and sights, but is flexible and will audible with ease; like when we caught a flea market pop up and shopped unexpectedly. “Of Course, no problem!” I have to say it’s worth whatever is the cost to spend the most enjoyable day with Bernardo in Lisbon. Obrigada Bernardino, Caio Kristina and Ricardo Baker🙋🏻♀️

Excellent guided tour
With Bernardo as our guide we experienced two very good days: in Lisbon and in Sintra. We saw everything we wanted to see. He has proven to be a very knowledgeable tour guide. It can address all the priorities that tourists prefer. He speaks very understandably and clearly. As a human being he is very accommodating and friendly. You can rely on him and trust him.

Bernardo is the best!
We had 2 wonderful days in Lisbon and Sintra with Bernardo. He picked us up with his van at the hotel and drove us everywhere. He was extremely friendly and accommodating and has responded to all our wishes and needs. He is also a very competent and educated guide who has loosened up the explanations with stories, anecdotes and legends. 2 completely successful days in which we were able to experience so much in a pleasant way. 100% recommendation!

Lisbon Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $171 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 Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Tour?
+
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 Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Private Tour?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Private Tour 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, Escape Hunt Experience. 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.
