Jose and Caio did an incredible job speaking about the history of the city, the country, and the variety of neighborhoods and the people in them. We got to see and learn so much, and I would recommend this tour to anyone. read more

An absolute must if you come to Lisbon!!! This review is way overdue but we had the best time, and learned so much about the city on this tour. Our guide was the head honcho of this operation, and gave us a true "locals" insight on the lay of the land. Unlike some tours, each Chill Out Lisbon is different, as they prioritize catering to each specific audience. Before you step out on your FREE tour, they'll ask questions to see what you really want to see and learn about the city. How awesome is that. We saw several of the main landmarks, but even more of the "roots" of Lisbon. My favorite parts being the Alfama district, and the grand finale. I won't spoil the grand finale but I'll say it's most definitely worth staying to the end. Thanks to our wonderful guide, I believe their name was Jose, but pardon me if I am mistaken. If you can, please tip your lovely guide; they will most likely let you know they are open to receiving tips. read more

I highly recommend taking this tour on your first day in Lisbon! Our tour guide was Lilliana and she was amazing. The tour takes just about 3 hours and takes you through all the main neighborhoods of Lisbon, without focusing on the big tourist attractions. It was really cool to walk through streets that we may have not seen on our own and it was great to have a local's perspective and tips on Lisbon. When booking the tour they say that you may leave at any point as long as you let your tour guide know so this was actually my plan because I felt that 3 hours was long for a walking tour. However, as the tour progressed I didn't want to leave! It also goes at a good pace that is easy to keep up with (until the very end when you walk up a steep hill). Make sure to eat and use the restroom before starting the tour as there aren't any stops along the way for this. Also wear good walking shoes! read more

I did the 10am walking tour the first day I landed. Our had an amazing guide Nicole was just what I needed to push through the reset flight. She transported us back 5000 years and explained the history of Portugal and the secrets behind the buildings and statues. Be prepared it is a lot of walking through the hills and lasts around 3 hours. The time went by fast and it was a great way to kick off my trip! Highly recommend this walking tour to any traveler, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to get Nicole as your guide! read more

My wife and I had a most wonderful walking tour with Rita of Chill Out Tours in Lisbon. This tour was a highlight of our month long travels in France and Portugal. Rita is an astonishing tour leader and person. Her grasp of local and international history; her passion for her city and country; her fluid understanding of her tour group and adjustment to same; and above all - her humanity. lol of thiss came shining through on a tour that was scheduled for over two hours but which was four hours as Rita held every one of us spellbound and happily gave more of herself as she fed off of our interest. Thank you Rita for your inspired, interesting, gentle and passionate guidance. Cris & Alex. Canada read more

I will make this simple, if you are in Lisbon and want a great tour that gives an excellent overview of the city, culture and history, you are foolish if you take any other tour but this one. The tour guides do a great job, take you "behind the scenes" and clearly have great pride in their city. They answer questions, they are interactive and best of all, they are independent. They do not steer you towards businesses or areas that are overly touristy. Highly recommend. read more

Rita (think that's her name) was spectacular. Extremely energetic and animated. Do it if you have the time. Tour takes 3hrs

This tour was one of our highlights on our recent week long vacation in Lisbon. We learned a lot, enjoyed the sites and appreciated the great photo opps. Carolina was a lovely tour guide. Recommend this to anyone visiting the city. It is free so make sure to tip generously! read more

We were in Lisbon the end of July 2024 on a cruise. Rather than take the overpriced underwhelming cruise tours we chose the Chill Out Lisbon Free Walking Tour. This was the best decision of our cruise. Jose' led us on a tour of the real Lisbon. A former school teacher the tour involved culture, history and great food recommendations. It truly was the highlight of our vacation. If you want to actually see the city, learn its history and experience a little of its actual culture, book this tour. If you have a larger group (ours was 8) you can book a private tour by pre-paying a tip and have the incredible experience we had. Jose' will customize the tour to your interests and physical ability. Be aware Lisbon is very hilly. Our tour involved climbing both of the major hills in the city. I was thankful there was not a third hill. read more

We had a great tour with Jose! He gave us a lot of context on the history of Portugal and Lisbon, and took us to some beautiful viewpoints around the city. He also took us to some areas that tourists don't normally get to know like Alfama. He also emphasized being respectful as a tour group - not blocking entire sidewalks, only stopping in places that we wouldn't disrupt those living in apartments nearby. Don't hesitate to book this tour! read more

We had a wonderful tour with Beatriz on 13 Sept 2023. I was able to register on their website just minutes before the 4:30 tour started. I received a confirmation email and text through WhatsApp with detailed instructions of how to find our guide. The tour starts with about a 20 minute talk about the history of Portugal. Beatriz was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic when telling us about her county. The tour took about 3 hours, exploring the different neighborhoods and learning about their history. I highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your time in Lisbon! And don't forget to wear comfortable walking shoes! read more

Rita was my tour guide. She was amazing. Very passionate, knowledgeable, and funny. Would recommend to anyone. Lots of walking and the route is less touristy more off the beaten path. read more

We flew from Dallas Texas to meet friends we had met in Germany in Lisbon for a 10 day vacation. After looking at many tours online we were attracted to this tour by a local that would give us a Portuguese perspective and eschew the popular tourist sites. Our guide was Lilly, and she was SPECTACULAR!! We did walk 4.5 miles up some SERIOUS hills, but what a joy! At 69 we were perhaps the slowest in the group, but we never felt rushed. I learned more in 3 hours, laughing the whole time, than I did reading an entire book on Portugal! I'm sure all the guides are good, but none could be as friendly, open, funny, fluent and knowledgeable as LILLY!! You rock'd Lisboa for us!!!!! read more

Wow! What a great tour we had with Chill Out Lisbon. Joseph, our guide, was a local expert. He is an educator, a historian and a great guide. He is a wealth of info in a friendly and easy going way. We all bonded and had a great 3 hours together, seeing Lisbon from a local perspective, not from a pricy tour company. I highly recommend them. read more

Free tour around Lisbon, led by a local?! Sign me up. Sign yourself up to because this is hands-down the most interesting walking tour I've ever been on. Some tours can get dull, but this one was fascinating from the minute it started to the minute it ended. Here are my two favorite facts I learned: - Lisbon has almost no crime. Their most high profile criminal is an old woman who goes to hug people and steals from their pockets. - The government pays to feed and care for all of the cats in the streets because they eat all of the mice. The cats are therefore healthy and friendly. Etc, etc, etc. If those two facts alone don't prove that this is the cutest city ever, than I don't know what does. Lisbon also makes great wine, is close to the water and this tour even brings you to a few beautiful lookout points. You're encouraged to tip your tour guide at the end, and you should, because ours was great and these other reviewers seem to have loved their guides as well. You can't go wrong! read more

José did an amazing job of including everyone and shutting down the side talkers. Very much appreciated. Full of information and the biggest nod to a wonderful tour guide is at the 3 hour mark, we didn't know it had been that long. Learned so much and saw things we normally would not have. Thank you so much for continuing to do these and I can only hope folks take care of you in the tip Dept. read more

Very informative. Lillian focused on what interested everyone in the group. She put 5000 years of history into our 3 hr walk. She also included her personal history & cultural comment. We walked fairly non-stop for 3 hours. Show up with your walking shoes. read more

We took a couple of free walking tours while in Portugal and this was far and away the better one. When you start they ask you what your interests are and they tailor the tour and information based on the feedback. Ours was focused on history which I strongly recommend because we learned so much with a sprinkling of science, way of life and other valuable tidbits. read more

Best tour we experienced in Portugal. It was amazing due to our guide, José Guerreiro. 15 years of guiding. He was fluent in English, thoughtful of us and of Lisbon's citizens. He was cheerful confident knowledgeable and really emoted. We gave a generous tip as paid tours can have I'll prepared or detached guides. A10 of 10 rating! read more

We did the 10am tour with NUNO on 12/11/18 and it was one of the best highlights of our Lisbon visit. Even though the tours are free you should register on their website and you are emailed shortly thereafter with a confirmation. The meetup location is one of the crowded central plazas and was really easy to find, but beware of the other tours going on here so you go to the right one. They have staff easily identified by their bright yellow messenger bags. Nuno was born to do this type of stuff. He broke the ice among our group right off the bat and got us on our way. This tour had a lot of historical info, more than I was expecting but its cool that the locals are so passionate about the history of their city. We were taken to the 4 major areas, Baixa, Bairro Alto, Chiado and Alfama. Yes it was a lot of walking and hill climbing but with all the stops and breaks it was totally manageable. We got to explore nooks and crannies of Lisbon we never would have ventured into on our own and got great advice and recs for restaurants and ways to enjoy the city and not get ripped off by tourist traps. I highly recommend these folks read more

Having been on many free walking tours, this is definitely one of the best. The group size was perfect, the route was well-planned, and the content was packed with interesting information. Jose used to be a history teacher and he made the history part of the tour very fun and easy to follow. He gave us a new and local perspective of Lisbon that couldn't be found elsewhere. Grateful that I decided on doing this tour. read more

Strong five stars for Liliana and the Lisbon Chill Out tour company! Liliana was so full of knowledge and energy for our free, three-hour tour of the city. Her mix of "official" history and fun anecdotes/facts from the neighborhoods made this tour feel like something you couldn't get from a more established or institutional company. She also gave us a few great bar recommendations for us to check out after our tour. Plus, due to a mix of it being the low season and a few last minute circumstances, we ended up being the only people on the tour! All in all, it was a great experience and I highly recommend anyone in Lisbon check it out! read more

We took a private walking tour with Liliana, who was a fantastic guide. She arrived very promptly on time for the starting time. Liliana was enthusiastic and gave a good overview of the city, helped us gain a better understanding of Portuguese history and culture. The itinerary fit perfectly with our needs and time constraints. I especially loved walking through the neighborhood of Mouraria, which I would encourage you to visit if you have time. We would highly recommend a tour with Liliana and Chill-Out Lisbon! read more

We had an amazing time on this tour! Jose was super knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of Lisbon. He also had great jokes and made sure we were entertained the whole time. Loved going off the beaten path and seeing things we wouldn't have seen if we had just explored the city ourselves. Also love his commitment to responsible tourism. Recommend this 10x over! read more

I was in Lisbon for a conference and had very little time to see the city. A colleague recommended this tour to me. It is free, meaning that you tip at the end according to what you think it is worth. I gave the biggest tip I've ever given for me personally (as opposed to a tip on behalf of a larger group). It was extraordinary. Our guide was Liliana and she was super knowledgeable and fun. The time flew by. Our group had a lot of questions so it went a bit longer than what was listed. I didn't want the tour to end and my sense was that the others in the group felt the same. read more

We absolutely loved our Chill-Out Lisbon Free Tour with Jose! We did it our first day in Lisbon, which was a great way to get to know the city. We felt like we got a great combination of history and culture, and lots of steps! Highly recommend! read more

This was an amazing tour, I'm a tour guide myself and i love walking tours, every time i can i go on one even in my own city. this guys were beyond expected and they do a great introduction of the city, not being a official tour or a thematic tour is great to have a general idea for all the history of Portugal including the present times, I could see myself on their words, the guide Ana was super. I recommend to all my friends and will join them again. read more
