Straight Shot No Chaser! - The tour was the behind the scene areas that a regular tour would not have covered.
Lots of walking and hills! Sites I probably would not have visited as a solo female traveler.
Before you book BE SURE to review his website! I did not and was not prepared for a 6 hour tour. Enjoy! You will learn a lot.

An experience in the real heart of Lisbon - From the first moment I knew it would not be a conventional sightseeing tour, and I was not mistaken. Teddy opened the doors to the authentic soul of Lisbon, guiding me calmly, wisely and with a spiritual flow difficult to describe in words.
It wasn’t just about walking down streets or visiting viewpoints – although the sunset panoramas were stunning – but about feeling the city from within, at its most genuine essence. We tasted delicacies that I would never have discovered on my own: Bangladeshi samosas with their unmatched hot sauce, the mythical empanadas of “Union” and a feast of African flavors that still resonate in my memory.
But what really made the difference were the people Teddy introduced me to: artists, cooks, workers... people who embody the energy and diversity that make Lisbon a unique place. I attended live music performances, toured spaces off the international tourist radar and found myself in corners where the city beats with local force, away from clichés.
The way Teddy spun each moment with deep stories, with sensitivity and spiritual connection, turned this tour into much more than a walk: it was a transformative experience. My heart expanded, my aura vibrated with joy and besides, valuable friendships were born that I will carry with me.
As an explorer, adventurer and artist, I can say that this was one of those experiences that mark you forever. I 100% recommend this Teddy-guided journey: not only will you discover Lisbon, you will also discover something new in yourselves.

An amazing tour through the heart and soul of Lisbon - If you want to experience the heart and soul of Lisbon this is the tour. Many tours take you away from Lisbon. Teddy takes you through the neighborhoods for an experience like non other. It was a culinary, visual and thought provoking tour wrapped up in one. Teddy takes the time to get to know his guests first to tailor the experience to you. He is extremely personable and leaves you feeling like you have met a friend. We tried many different foods desserts saw wonderful vantage points muriels and live music. He gets it all in for you. Wonderful experience I highly recommend this tour

Experience the REAL Lisbon with Teddy! - Teddy's insights into the rich cultural tapestry of Lisbon is one of the highlights of this tour. He is a great storyteller and brings to life the neighborhoods, the people, the culture, and the food of this beautiful city. We experienced amazing street and mural art in Graca, Bangladeshi and African food, and got to meet some of the local vendors that all know him. The night ended at Chapito's, a beautiful lively spot in Alfama, to hear live samba music and party with the Brazilian community. Experience this tour and come away with a culturally rich experience of Lisboa!

Chika's Lisbao Experience - Teddy is an amazing guide, filled with positive energy and knows some hidden gems of Lisbao. His humour is an extra package that I wasn't expecting and that added to the flavour. He has food knowledge of the city's history, offering an insight that is unique and personal.
