Although you can try ans how up, it's better ans advisable if you book it online here at the website, so you can guarantee your spot and that the tour will take place. The tours always take place regardless of the number of people that turn up or the weather conditions. You just need to spot our guide - Whicj is dead easy, because he/she is wearing a Lisbon Walker orange blackpack - at Praça do Comércio, under the arches, in front of Tourism Office (at the door, not inside), situated on the northwest corner, near Pateo da Galé and Squisito Italian Restaurant.

Aince we do not run a pick up service, sorry, all Lisbon Walkers have to make their way to the meeting point, common to all our walks (see previous answer). Depending on where you are staying it is very easy to meet us by Metro, tram or bus. Your hotel reception will be happy to provide you with instructions on how to get there.

Here, at the website. You can go in the section of regular tours, and inside each tour you have the link to the booking page, or directly on the menu ``booking``. You can also get it last minute at the starting point of the walks, a few minutes prior to departure time, but its advisable to book it online to see if it's still available.

AYes, it is possible though to use the credit card if you book through our website www.lisbonwalker.com. Unfortunately, at the starting point of the walks we can only accept cash.

The daily regular walks are all in English. It is also possible to run private walks in French, in German, in Spanish and in Italian under special circumstances, should this be your choice.

You can get them directly through our site www.lisbonwalker.com . Go to Shop!

Of course it is. If you enjoy discovering a city at your own pace, this is most definitely the best way. Crafted by the best specialists of Lisbon, these 54 Cards will not only take you across several non touristy areas of Lisbon but also provide you with the best knowledge, History and tips. Even if it is your first time in Lisbon or if you have only a few days in the city, the deck includes a selection of the “must do Cards” in 2 days. It is also a fine piece of design and a nice souvenir, getting home!

We do not know. Honestly. But the 1st traces of outside presence found point at the Phoenicians as the ones to have travelled from outside and enjoyed the Tagus River calm waters in regular occasions.

By the Lisbon Walker orange backpack. The guide will be standing underneath the arches, close to the northwest corner (Rua do Arsenal) of Praça do Comércio, in front of the Tourism Office (near Café Aura). The guide will be handing out LisbonWalker leaflets and selling tickets.

Unfortunately no, even though he is a manifested Lisbon enthusiast, like we are. We sometimes rely on the participation of actors as animators of our initiatives, none of which yet as famous, even if not necessarily less talented.

Seven hills, right? Wrong. The myth of Lisbon of the seven hills was made up by Friar Nicholas in the XVII century, urging to create a hasty parallel with the city of Rome. People say there are actually fifteen or even more. Is it important at all?

Do not stress yourself. The proverbial compliance of our guides is a landmark. Mind you, we are talking about some 5 minutes tolerance here. Now seriously, try to arrive 10 minutes prior to departure time, if you do not have your ticket already. This will keep everybody, including your fellow Lisbon Walkers, very happy.

Between 2 and 3 hours. Depending on the pace, the Lisbon Revelation Tour, the Lisbon Old Town, the Castle Hill, Jewish Presence in Lisbon and the Lisbon Uptown walks will be the longest, across the hills of Lisbon up and down a few stairs and cobblestone streets. By the way, good walking shoes are recommended, high heels being seriously unadvised. The end point of all walks is carefully selected to prevent you from being left in the middle of nowhere, but rather close to public transport.

There is indeed. Upon request, we can arrange a Private Walk for a group at a special price; the typical situations arising from Schools, Hotels, Travel Agencies and Congress organisers. In order to apply, please contact us at info@lisbonwalker.com, by phone at (+351) 218 861 840 or (+351) 963 575 635 or at our office (Rua do Jardim do Tabaco, 126, SLJ, Lisboa - facing Museu do Fado). It is possible to select from any of our regular walks or a combination of them and you don't have to adhere to our public walks schedule. Just let us know what your preferences are and we will create the walking tour or experience that matches your needs.

Around 560.000 today. The metropolitan area however rises above 2.5 million souls these days and a lot of them work inside the city, just to make things difficult for traffic, public transportation and parking.

Relax. None of the walks is a forced march. As stated before, the only (moderately) demanding walks are Lisbon OldTown, Lisbon Uptown and the Lisbon Castle Hill. However, if you bear in mind that the Old Town walk, for example, takes place in one of the quarters with some of the most aged population in Lisbon and little public transportation available, you can imagine that if the natives can do it, so can you.

Of course. They will not only provide the proper break, but also the opportunity to expand a bit on any special history or anecdote that we find appropriate in the context. We try to land in shady spots with some sitting room to allow for some leg stretching.

Since the beginning of times – think of the Flintstones, for example- vehicles have been a symbol of status and this still seems to be the case. Now at that time in Lisbon, in spite of the slopy and roughly paved streets, there were 300 coaches, 4.500 privately owned trolleys, 400 cabs for rent and several thousand individual handheld chairs for a population of around 200.000.

Sure you can. And it is for free. Baby trolleys however may prove a bit tricky to manoeuvre at times, as sidewalks can be quite narrow or non-existing, but everyone allways lend a hand in case of need.

This one is easy: you have to look old to apply for the over 65 one or young enough to apply for the under 26 one. No, we don’t ask you to show us your passport, we are not the police, you know. The other way is to show us your Lisboa Card or the Rick Steves guide.

From the top of my head I can think of several: it is in the very heart of Alfama and we can provide you with information to get more in depth into this unique part of the city; we have a set of selected books that will provide you with more information about Lisbon; you are invited to come and sit with us for a chat and learn more about what Lisbon and its surroundings have to offer, daytime and nightime.

Of course not: we will not take you through spider’s filled tunnels, slippery floors in the dark, nor there will be any improvised characters in white bed sheets howling around you. It is not a ghost train ride on foot. It is mainly a quiet walking tour across some of the most curious legends and secrets that have been nourishing the imagination of Lisbonners for many years.
