Experience Lisbon with History and new friends walking tour.
Details
Whether you are an ex-pat, a tourist, or even a local, this historical walking tour is made for those who want to get a better understanding of Lisbon´s rich history while making new friends.
I am a Ph.D. title candidate in Anthropology at the Nova University of Lisbon and have worked as a tour guide for some of the city's major walking tour companies for several years, meaning I have done hundreds of tours around Portugal. However, I believe now it is time to do my own thing, without having to follow a script.
A main difference between this proposal and other walking tours is that I want people to connect with each other and, after the tour is over, we can all share some drinks at a local bar.
We will cover in this tour:
- The earthquake of 1755 and the reconstruction of the city by Prime Minister Marquês de Pombal.
- The Inquisition and persecution of Jews and Muslims.
- The restoration wars and their consequences.
- Santa Justa Elevador, Carmo Square, São Pedro de Alcântara Miradouro and much more.
The tour can always be adjusted upon demand. I know all the routes done by all the major companies in the city. The duration of the tour is of approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Note: there is a minimum of 2 (two) guests for the event to take place.
