Excellent tour
This tour was amazing. From the designated pick up time to the evening, we were driven around all day and shown the best parts of Lisbon that tourists usually miss. We got to go to the highest point in Lisbon, and a famous bakery for lunch. This tour was such good quality and overall I would absolutely go again, and highly reccomend this for anyone who wants to see all of Lisbons highlights in a day.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, Mira. It was a long day in your company, showing you a little of all that Lisbon has to offer. I hope you can return to Sesimbra soon for more discoveries.

Our First & Best Portugal Tour Guide
If you’re visiting Lisbon or staying in Sesimbra, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Francisco from Badger Tours. What made this experience so memorable wasn’t just the incredible places we visited—it was Francisco. He has a gift for storytelling and made Portugal’s history, culture, and traditions come alive in a way that was engaging, thoughtful, and easy to understand. The highlight of the day was Cristo Rei. Standing beneath the monument, visiting the chapel, and taking in the breathtaking views over Lisbon was an unforgettable experience. It was one of those moments that makes you pause and simply appreciate where you are. A close second for me was Estufa Fria. As a plant mama, I was in heaven. Walking through the lush tropical gardens felt like stepping into another world—peaceful, beautiful, and full of life. We also enjoyed the famous Pastéis de Belém, visited Jerónimos Monastery, the Monument of the Discoveries, rode the iconic Tram 28, had a wonderful lunch at Sem Vergonha, and ended the day taking the scenic route across the magnificent Vasco da Gama Bridge. One of my favorite unexpected moments was meeting Francisco’s lifelong friend, whom he’s known since they were five years old. It made the experience feel even more genuine and personal. Francisco, thank you for sharing your beautiful country with such pride, kindness, and heart. You didn’t just show us Portugal—you helped us experience it. We arrived as visitors and left feeling like we’d spent the day with a friend. We won’t forget it. Obrigada! 🇵🇹❤️
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a great pleasure to organize the tours according to your wishes. We always want to give the best experience to those who visit us. Knowing that it exceeded your expectations about Portugal and our wonderful village of Sesimbra only makes us wish that your next visit will be very soon. We have many more places to visit, which will also be a pleasant surprise for you and your aunt.

Best ever tour of Lisbon (day trip).
Francisco is one of the best tour guide I had. It is important for day long trips. He made the Lisbon tour really enjoyable with the right amount of information and site seeing and independent times for shopping. If you want a great tour of Lisbon that can be tailored to your expectations and preferences there is one place: Badger tours. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: It was great to meet you and your husband. Thank you very much for all the activities you booked with us during the week. In Sesimbra you can find different leisure options. You truly chose the best place to relax, enjoy our fantastic food and get to know a little bit of Portugal. Thank you also for choosing BADGER TOURS.

The goto tour for Lisbone
Francisco is an amazing tour guide. We had the opportunity to visit for almost 10 hours Lisbone. Sights were breathtaking and the ambiance of the city is electric. I would recommemd to anyone!
Response from the operator: We had a wonderful day in Lisbon. We explored the entire city, from its most historic neighborhoods to its most modern and vibrant areas. The contrast between the city’s different neighborhoods—including those along the riverfront and the viewpoints in the higher areas—has left us eager to return and explore it in even greater detail.

Lissabon
Today, the five of us had the great pleasure of spending a whole day in Lisbon. We were accompanied by Francisco from Badger Tours. We really had a wonderful tour; it feels as though we experienced everything Lisbon has to offer, even though we realise there is surely still plenty left to see, but Francisco really managed to show us the very best the city has to offer. So, if you’re ever thinking of truly experiencing Lisbon, in our opinion, don’t miss the opportunity to do so with Badger Tours in Sesimbra.
Response from the operator: Lisbon is steeped in history, with fascinating sites that have shaped the city over the years. A day in the city always offers a new experience every day. From the must-see attractions to the additional stops our customers request, I hope this was just your first visit with Badger Tours.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of Lisbon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Setubal District.
How much does Private Tour of Lisbon cost?
+
Prices start at $291 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Setubal District usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour of Lisbon 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 Setubal District is not rushed.
Is Private Tour of Lisbon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Setubal District, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour of Lisbon?
+
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 Private Tour of Lisbon 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 Private Tour of Lisbon?
+
Around 13 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 Setubal District 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 Setubal District and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour of Lisbon 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 Setubal District 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 Setubal District?
+
On Outty we rank every Setubal District experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sesimbra : Guided Kayak Tour in Arrábida Natural Park & Caves, Observation of Dolphins and Whales with Marine Biologist in Arrábida, Sesimbra: Arrábida Dolphin and Whale Watching tour with biologist. 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 Setubal District?
+
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 Setubal District?
+
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 Private Tour of Lisbon?
+
Included: Local guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; Transportation to and from Sesimbra; and Tickets and guided tour of monuments. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
