Fabulous city history overview
Kate was a fantastic guide, she shared her comprehensive knowledge of the city and it's history, bringing it to life with stories and humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and it has given us a deeper appreciation of Lisbon. We would highly recommend Kate and this tour.

Lucky us!
We had originally scheduled another tour that didn’t have enough clients to run, and so Walter welcomed us on his tour. BEST. TOUR. GUIDE. EVER. What a gem of a human - beyond knowledgeable, entertaining, and mindful of cat herding us all together in crowded streets, he kept our jet lagged eyes riveted with stories, and challenged us to think critically about enjoying a city beyond the typical tourist tracks. Can’t recommend him enough.

Kate was an amazing guy and gave us such an interesting and fun tour of the city! I recommend!
Kate was an amazing tour guide and the tour was fantastic! She took us all around the city and showed us so many interesting things and told us such interesting information. We learned about the city and about the history of Portugal and about the buildings and many of the landmarks and sites and statues. It was especially interesting to go into the buildings to see the tiles and architecture. Highly recommend this Tours and highly recommend Kate!

Kateryna made it a magical 2.5 hours
Kateryna was the best walking tour guide we’ve had: smart, knowledgeable, and funny. The guide makes or breaks a tour and honestly she was amazing. We did the tour on our first day in Lisbon which I recommend, because it gives a really good overview of the neighborhoods and the history of the city. Kateryna was upfront that there is way too much history and geography to cover in 2.5 hours, but we definitely got our fill. The overview of the earthquake was fascinating and she explained how it impacted the city, both in terms of culture and architecture. A big highlight for me was the cathedral, built in 1147, that survived the earthquake and five major fires over the centuries. Don’t forget to remove your hat before going in! You can see the signs of the damage it sustained in the massive pillars and brickwork. Kateryna spoke of the building being cursed according to legend, and it was definitely spooky inside. We were lucky enough to step inside while a mass was going on. Too many historic details to mention, but they were all told with clarity and humour by our five-star guide. Can’t recommend highly enough. We paid €15 each which was great value for what we got. Met some wonderful people as well - hi Doug and Stacy!

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake cost?
+
Prices start at $3 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 Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 198 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake?
+
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 Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake?
+
Around 69 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake 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.
