The best way to discover Lisbon is to get lost in its narrow streets and up and down roads! Every narrow street will tell you a different story and every story will reach to your heart easily! Lisbon Walks can be often boring withthe same old routes but we do it differently by taking you through the d«side streets where the real people live, include as well historical sites and lesser known facts which are not in the guide books.

Alfama neighborhood, survived the earthquake of 1755, enchants its visitors with its narrow streets from the Moors period;

Retracing the ancient Lisbon city walls and the neighborhoods that make up the old city.

We were two bestfriends on an eat-pray-love kind of get-away. Normally independent travelers, we decided to “splurge” on a private guide as part of the pampering. It turned out to be the best, most sensible decision made. Our 10 ten days in Portugal with Greg was simply magical. Greg was like a favorite cousin meeting us in the airport and taking care of us until we had to go home. He lite...

2010-12-02 23:37 - I spent 3 wonderful days in Lisbon with Greg. We went everywhere, saw everything and ate at the most wonderful restaurants where Greg knew the owners. They would bring out the fresh catch of the day, and we got to choose our favorite. I never felt pressured, rushed or harried. We moved at my leisurely pace and yet got to do so much and to see so much. Greg was always on time and a delight as ... Read more...

Greg brought history to life with his encyclopaedic knowledge of such a fascinating country with all the added stories that make the ‘learning’ so interesting. I have been going through his trip notes and realising that we could easily have spent twice the time and still not seen it all. I still marvel at how he came up with such interesting people for us to meet along the way. The Mattos wine...

2010-11-14 15:26 - I have a particular interest in the history of Spain and Portugal and contacted Greg with a request to visit the homeland of the Spanish conquistadors in western Spain. We travelled over 3-4 days to interesting but less well known parts of Spain such as Medellin (home of Hernan Cortes), Caceres (the old city was fantastic--although the city had changed the roads and our GPS kept us circling aroun...
