Overview

A tour of the roots of Lisbon. This private tuk-tuk tour travels through the hills where the city was born — Alfama and Graça — two neighborhoods where time seems to have stopped. Here, between narrow streets and breathtaking viewpoints, history gains life: from the vestiges of the occupation moor to the echo of the 1755 earthquake, passing through the traditions of fado and neighborhood life that still sits on the balconies. It is a trip guided by those who know every corner, every legend and every secret of this ancient Lisbon. Intimate, authentic and unforgettable.
