It started as a summer gig. Drive tourists around Lisbon, share some history, make some money. But something clicked. Watching visitors light up at a hidden viewpoint, or taste their first real pastel de nata - that never got old. By fall, Francisco had convinced his cousin Duarte to quit his office job. One tuk tuk, two cousins, one idea: show people the Lisbon we know and love.
Family dinners became business meetings. 'Why not do this properly?' we kept asking. So we did. Got licensed with Turismo de Portugal (RNAAT 895/2023), got proper insurance, built this website. Lisbon Vintage Tours was born. Our promise: no rushed schedules, no scripted tours, just genuine stories from locals who actually grew up in these streets.
150+ five-star reviews later, we've added a few more guides - but only ones who love Lisbon as much as we do. Every guide gets trained by us personally. We're still family-owned, still answering your WhatsApp messages ourselves, still genuinely excited when we see your photos on Instagram. Some things shouldn't scale.
Whether you want to customize a tour, book for a large group, or just ask a quick question - we typically respond within a few hours. WhatsApp us at +351 934 930 513 for the fastest reply.
