Awesome walking tour! - Our guide Andre was amazing: very amicable, polite, knowledgeable and kind. Checking that everyone could keep up and hear him well, encouraged questions and comments, which made it more interactive. He had great recommendations for places to visit later on our own, places to eat. My daughter (13) enjoyed it very much and upon our return home shared all the historical knowledge she learned form this with the rest of our family. TIP: Have comfy shoes! You’ll walk a lot and sidewalks are all made of - beautiful - cobblestones, often uneven. Bring a water bottle, sunscreen. Enjoy!!

Top tour with a lovely person - This was the perfect introduction to the city. Constança was able to project her good knowledge of the history of her hometown in an interesting way, taking us to the key areas so we could get a real feel for how and when it had been developed. We have already been able to follow her suggestions to get the most out of our visit to this remarkable city.

Absolutely the best way to get an overview of Portugal and Lisbon! - My husband and I went on a Historical Walking Tour of Lisbon "Vibrant City Tours" - it was absolutely the best way to get an overview of the history and culture of Lisbon and Portugal. Our guide Constaca was very enthusiastic, knowledgable and a great story teller! We walked through downtown for about two hours stopping at squares and statures while Constanca regaled us with Portugal's past and how it came into being! She also gave us amazing trips on where to go, what to see and places to eat. My only regret is that I took this tour on my last day here and not on my first day ! Would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

The best way to experience Lisbon! - The guided tour was fantastic. It really helped to set the tone for our entire trip. We really embraced the city and its sites in a different way than we would have without all of the history. Constanza was an excellent guide - well informed; fun and enthusiastic.
