Extraordinária visita às profundezas de Lisboa!!! Ver a cidade e locais onde passamos na azáfama do dia a dia e onde nem damos conta da história que contam! A Filipa além de um entusiasmo contagiante apresenta-se como uma profunda conhecedora da história de Portugal e sobretudo de Lisboa! Adorei!!!! E como não há 2 sem 3, voltarei pra a 3.ª

Filipa was great! It’s our first time in Lisbon and we opted to book this private tour. Filipa was very knowledgeable about Lisbon’s history. She’s very nice and personable. We enjoyed this tour because it was pretty special, Filipa showed us many great places others wouldn’t even know of. All the hidden places, the most beautiful views of Lisbon. Thank you for accommodating us and we would highly recommend to others to book with Filipa, she won’t disappoint.

transparency report

I made the tour from Terreiro do Paço to Chiado and it was beyond expectations. The guides was very nice and knew much about the history and curiosities of the region. Besides, it was in a very relaxed environment so everyone was welcome and comfortable to ask questions and take a break if needed. I'd definitely recommend it and I'll do another one when I get the chance!

0n our recent three day break in Lisbon we were very fortunate to have Ricardo and Filipa from Alfacinhalx as our Tour Guides around Lisbon and surrounding area. We had a full 8 hour day with them visiting Sintra, Cabo da Roca (the most westerley point), Cascais and finally Belem.
They were both very knowledgeable of all the places we visited and went to great trouble to make sure we got into all the castles and museums that we wanted to see.

We would highly recommend them for your tours around Lisbon.

Filipa was a wonderful host, tour leader for our tour of Lisbon. The food was amazing and abundant. I'm glad we walked as much as we did! She showed us all the neighborhoods in Lisbon and had wonderful insight on each of them. We toured Alfaa, Baixa, and more! We learned about the culture through the food and delicious wine and port we sampled. I would highly recommend this tour over all others.

On July 19 2017, we were scheduled for a 90-minute historical walking tour of Lisbon; it was our first visit to this beautiful city. It was raining when we arrived and Alfacinha was expecting 6 people for this tour, but my husband and I were the only ones that showed. We were fortunate to have Ricardo as our guide, a native born "little lettuce" :-), who ended up spending THREE HOURS with us! He took us to beautiful vistas, up the elevators to the neighborhoods of Barraio, Chiado (with a recommendation for shopping true Portugese items, not made elsewhere), and the famous winding streets of Alfalma, which includes the castle, where he introduced us as we passed old Carmalinda who makes her own version of the famed wild cherry liquor called ginga...had a sample too! Ricardo showed us iconic tile-faced buildings, squares where history and music co-exist today, churches of the patron saint, Vincente and of St Antonio, ruins of the earthquake of 1755... all with a knowledgeable background of the highlight's history. For so young a man, he has an obvious love of his country's history and imparts the information very well. He knows all the great places!! We highly recommend this tour, and specifically, Ricardo! Bem feito, Ricardo, e obrigado!!
