United StatesMy partner and I arrived to Lisbon by plane at 6:00 in the morning, slept for a few hours at our hotel in Alfama, and then were greeted at the door by Ana for an afternoon walking tour. She spent three and a half hours with us, and it was a lovely introduction to the city and the country. Ana is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. She taught us about history and culture, and she answered all of our questions with friendly enthusiasm. I could not recommend this tour more strongly.

United States5 Stars - BEST custom tour ever! Ana and her driver, John, took such excellent care of us and are the sweetest people. Ana listened to our wants and needs and really customized our tour accordingly. She took us to the most fun sights in Lisbon and gave us lots of funny gossip-style anecdotes as well as brief history about the places we visited. Ana even managed to hand-pick a few stores to include so my wife had some shopping opportunities. We left Lisbon as friends. BOOK WITH ANA. She's the best guide!!!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Rick and Lori, Thank you so much for your kind words.You did my job even easier for letting me know exactly what you wanted. But I really think our day was awesome! Hope you enjoyed that coconut final treat and - mostly - that we meet each other again! Best wishes, Ana

Gladell P.
United StatesI did a tour with Ana on the very first day I arrived in Lisbon. Ana was very nice to accommodate several requests I made about the tour since it was already my second time in Lisbon. We mainly went around Alfama, Belem, and to several panoramic viewing spots in the city. It was very convenient going around in her car. She made sure that the places we went to were new to me, and I realized that there are still so much to see and enjoy in Lisbon the second time around. The tour is highly recommendable!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you so much!! It was a pleasure for me too! See you next time, with your family! Best regards, Ana M.

CanadaAna was wonderful in every way. She has a pleasant personality and her English is excellent. She was knowledgeable about history and so was able to make the places we saw come alive. And as a bonus, she was a good photographer of us upon request as well! We were very impressed with her ability to give us a thorough introduction and overview of this city that has so much of interest in just a few hours time. I appreciate Tours by Locals support in helping us to connect with her.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Mrs. Linda!! Thank you very much! I am glad you enjoyed! All the best, Ana
