Lisbon Half-Day Private City Tour
The best of Lisbon in four hours. Alfama, the old squares, and a first glimpse of Belém. The perfect first day.
Short on time, long on curiosity? This is Lisbon's essence in an afternoon: the oldest quarter of Alfama, the grand squares and avenues, and a run out to Belém for the Jerónimos Monastery and the Tower before the light goes.
The best of the city, in four hours
Alfama, the oldest quarter
Narrow lanes and tiled façades, washing lines and miradouros: the soul of old Lisbon.
Squares & avenues
Bairro Alto, Chiado and the Baixa, and the grand Avenida da Liberdade.
A glimpse of Belém
Down to the river for the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower.
A glass of ginjinha
The little sour-cherry ritual, poured from a hole-in-the-wall in the old town.
Everything taken care of

Private, by the car
One price for your whole party, not per person. Choose the car that suits you; your guide and the day are the same.
Monument and museum entrance tickets are not included, nor are meals. With four hours, most guests admire Belém from the outside; we'll advise and can pre-book tickets if you'd like to go in.
Questions, answered
How long is the tour?
About 4 hours, with pick-up and drop-off at your Lisbon hotel: a brisk but unrushed introduction to the city.
Is half a day enough?
It's the ideal first day or a cruise-day option: the old town, the squares and a glimpse of Belém. If you want Belém in depth and the museums, the full day is the better fit.
Are entrance tickets included?
No. Entrance tickets and meals are not included. In four hours most guests enjoy Belém from the outside; we can pre-book tickets if you'd like to go in.
Who is it best for?
First-time visitors with limited time, and guests arriving by cruise who want the most of one morning or afternoon ashore.
Do you collect from our hotel?
Yes. Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Lisbon are included, and we'll time it around your plans or your ship.
Can you take a larger group?
Yes, for larger groups we arrange a private coach with your guide. Tell us your numbers and we'll tailor it.
