A History-Lover’s Intro to Lisbon

Our signature tour.

Join us for a full day of exploring the Portuguese capital city. In it, we delve deep (sometimes literally!) into the history of this ancient capital, revealing the layers of its prehistoric, Roman, Andalusian, and medieval histories.

Wander the Parisian streets that still bear the scars of a titanic earthquake, before climbing the winding, medieval streets of the old city. End the day taking in the city below from the best vantage-point in town: the majestic castle that dominates the skyline.
