About us
Discover Lisbon in the company of friendly, knowledgeable local guides.
Going beyond the guidebooks to reveal the real personality of Lisbon is our mission
We started in 2005, when few people explored Lisbon on foot and at their own pace. We were a group of people passionate about the city’s history, and we felt something was missing: a different way of showing it, with accuracy, stories and a real wish to share it with locals and curious travellers alike.
Our guides come from different backgrounds, but they all have a deep knowledge of Lisbon and a love of showing it to others. They know the secrets of every neighbourhood and love to tell its history, its legends and its everyday life.
The team that makes the difference
José
José is a contemporary historian with a postgraduate degree in City Culture. A keen researcher into anything to do with Lisbon’s history and legends, he is one of the founders of Lisbon Walker and the main author of the stories you will hear on our tours.
Filipa
Filipa was born in Lisbon and studied history and art history. She is passionate about art, heritage and architecture, loves sharing them with all kinds of audiences, and also works with several museums in the capital.
Pedro
Pedro has a degree in Cinema. A great talker and storyteller, well known for his kindness, he is an enthusiast of history – especially the history of Lisbon, the city where he was born.
Ana
Ana has a degree in Art History and a postgraduate degree in Heritage and Cultural Projects, with professional experience in some of Europe’s major cultural capitals. She has followed Lisbon Walker since the very beginning and is now its managing director.
Joana
Joana has a degree in History and a master’s in Contemporary History. Her passion for the city – its people, art, architecture, history and stories – together with her warmth, makes her a true and enthusiastic storyteller.
Rita
Rita has a degree in Art History and a master’s in Museology. After more than ten years guiding visits in the museums of Lisbon and Sintra, she now explores the city itself as her research subject. You will love discovering Lisbon in her company.
Pedro Aragão
After two and a half decades working for tech companies, Pedro traded code for culture and became a tour guide. Guiding gives him the perfect combination: a chance to deepen his passion for Portuguese history and culture while sharing those fascinating stories with visitors from around the world.
Alex
Alex found in walking tours the perfect balance between two of his passions: theatre and the study of Lisbon’s history. After almost a decade of tours, he is still amazed and amused by what he discovers in this city every day.
