Great experience
This was an incredible tour to start with when in Lisbon. Our group guide was Kateryna and she was just the perfect mix between knowledge, humor and friendliness.

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.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review. We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Walter so much. Best regards from Hi Lisbon Walking Tours Team!

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!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review. We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Kate so much. Best regards from Hi Lisbon Walking Tours Team!

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 208 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 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 73 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, 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.
What is included in Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake?
+
Included: Professional guide. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake?
+
Look our for the guide with an orange umbrella, between the big arch and the statue in the middle. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lisbon Walking Tour: Baixa, Chiado & the 1755 Earthquake?
+
