  • Although it is very interesting, the city pavement can become very irregular. Also, because the city has many sloped streets (Lisbon is known as the city of 7 hills), it might become a bit difficult for baby strollers and pushchairs. If you need to bring one, make sure it is a light, thin one. Baby carriers, back carriers or woven wraps & slings are a good option for babies and toddlers.
  • Make sure you and the kids wear comfortable clothes and shoes. A coat or a sweater might be useful even in summer time, because it gets cold after sunset. In summertime, don't forget to bring a hat and sunglasses for all (Lisbon is known by its fantastic bright sunlight) and make sure you apply sunscreen before starting the tour. In winter or rainy weather, don't forget to bring a raincoat.
  • Travellers should have a moderate physical fitness level

    Great basic tour of Lisbon for families of all sizes, with activities for kids of all ages!
    We were a very large family (20 people!) with 8 children ranging from 2 to 9 years old. Mariana was patient and worked hard to make the tour interesting for everyone. With scavenger hunts, objects, matching games, and more, the older kids exclaimed that it was the best tour they've ever been on. And the adults got to explore different neighborhoods at a leisurely rate and get a basic understanding of Lisbon's main historical areas. Would totally recommend for families visiting Lisbon!

    Incredible Tour for Kids!
    If you're traveling to Lisbon with kids, Little Lisbon is an exceptional choice for family tours. We took two tours (Sea Heroes in Belém and Essential Lisbon) with them, and both were absolutely fantastic! Each tour offered hands-on experiences that kept our son both entertained and engaged, which is no small feat. The adults in the group also had a wonderful time, as the tours provided fascinating insights into the city's rich history and culture. One of the things we truly appreciated was how thoughtful and accommodating our guide was. Our first tour took place on the very first day of our trip, and our son was understandably tired. Our guide quickly picked up on his need for rest and knew when to give him some space, yet always found the right moments to engage him, making the experience enjoyable for all of us. It was this personalized touch that made a huge difference. Additionally, the tour included some delicious local treats, adding a sweet touch to an already memorable experience. Overall, we can’t recommend Little Lisbon enough. These tours are not just for the kids – adults will find them incredibly enjoyable as well! A perfect way to explore Lisbon and create lasting memories with the whole family. We can't wait for a future visit and will definitely take another tour with Little Lisbon!

    Amazing way to start a family vacation in Lisbon
    We traveled to Lisbon with a 5 year old and a toddler and knew a traditional walking tour wouldn't work for us. We booked the Essential Lisbon tour for our first morning and it was an amazing way to start the trip. Mariana graciously agreed to start a bit later due to flight delays and catered our tour beautifully to our 5 year old's level and interests. The fun missions and scavenger hunts taught us all cool facts about Lisbon that stuck with us throughout our time in the city. This was a highlight of our trip!

    Excellent Family Tour in Lisbon
    Super tour with Mariana. We did the tour with our two young children - Little Lisbon tours has devised an extremely engaging tour that kept our children totally engaged throughout the entire three hours. They did a pattern spotting game and we all participated in a scavenger hunt on top of learning lots about the history of Lisbon. The children really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend- Mariana really brought the city to life for them. A natural! I would 100% recommend this tour to any families visiting Lisbon

    Wonderful tour catered to our family of 6
    Wonderful tour catered to our family - 2 parents, 2 grandparents and a 7 and 8 year old. Our guide was excellent and fun. She made the tour interesting and personal - engaging the children the entire way. Highly recommend if you'd like to get the most of an afternoon in Lisbon. We were only staying 2 days and this was an absolute highlight.

    Great tour! Totally worth it!
    We LOVED this tour! Julia was an excellent tour guide. She was super friendly, very patient with our two young children and accommodating of our needs. Throughout the tour, Julia shared a great deal of interesting historical and current facts about Lisbon/Portugal. Thank you for the great experience! :)

    The best thing we did in Lisbon
    This tour was the best thing we did during our trip to Lisbon. Our guide Rafael was amazing. The tour was really geared toward our kids, 7 and 10, and we, the parents, just came along for the ride. The pacing was excellent. As soon as our kids' attention began to wane, Rafael was ready with another fun activity that got them re-engaged. He even bought the whole family treats as a reward for a successful scavenger hunt :)) Rafael was also kind enough to answer the adults' questions and provide very helpful recommendations :) Three hours flew by, and we were sad to say goodbye. Our kids are still talking days later about the amazing private tour they had. I cannot recommend it highly enough if you are traveling in Lisbon with kids. Thank you so, so much to Rafael and Little Lisbon for this special experience!

    Great Tour of Lisbon for Kids and Adults Alike
    Our family of seven, including three grandparents and two kids (ages 9 and 12), took the three hour Essential Lisbon tour with Maria. Maria was wonderful - super smart and knowledgeable about all things Lisbon and so great with the kids. She had several scavenger hunts to keep things interesting and extended the tour graciously when we ran short on time. Booking was easy. Highly recommend.

    Great tour
    Lovely tour with Julia. Learned lots and was a great way to get our bearings on our first day in Lisbon. We enjoyed the trip on the tram and the custard tart. Our daughter was a little bored at times, I was expecting it to be a little more child focussed but we did enjoy the second challenge finding our way around Barrio Alto.

    Fun tour of Belém for the whole family
    We took the Sea Heroes of Belém tour with Julia and had a fun time despite the rain and wind. Julia made the tour informative and fun, and adapted to our kids' age & personality. The highlight of course was the mini-tour of the pasteis de Belém bakery complete with tasting. I absolutely recommend having Julia as a tour guide, she was friendly and genuine, and the 3 hours flew by.

    Absolutely Brilliant
    Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lisbon with kids. The guide kept our 6 and 7 year old kids entertained for 3 hours in 40 degree heat, teaching them about the history of Lisbon and ensuring they relate to everything she said. The guide was also great at amending the tour due to the heat and adding plenty of ice cream stops. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!

    Great family tour of Sintra!
    Marianna was a very good guide and was super patient with our kids. She knew so much history about the destinations we visited in Sintra and she was a terrific navigator for our family. My kids still talk about Initiation Well and the story she told us about the kings brother who was locked in a room for 9 years! Her passion for Portugal is very evident in the stories and knowledge she shared.

    Great tour with Alexander; he was informative, warm with kids, and aware of our needs (e.g., making sure we stopped in the shade for discussion).

    Fun ...if you don't mind walking uphill.
    We enjoyed the attention the guide paid to our children ages 4,5,7 and 9. He made it fun and information for them. Especially the activities that kept them engaged. The only negative aspect was the hills! Our little ones didn't have the energy to walk up the many hilly streets and the parents had to carry them in 90 degree heat. We would have rather taken an Uber or another means of transport up to the Bairro Alto. We didn't expect such an effort on our part and were not given a choice.

    This tour was a highlight of our trip, for all 3 generations. We all learned a lot but there was far less talking than other tours. Our guide did a great job keeping us in the shade, showing us things as well as telling us and including the most important parts. We all loved the scavenger hunt and pastry samples!

From the very first email with Mariana, our experience with Little Lisbon was phenomenal. We booked the Genuine Lisbon tour for our small family of 3 and also had Little Lisbon help with booking a sunset sailing tour with a third party tour company. Both tours were amazing and took the stress out of planning things independently.

The walking tour was one of our favorite highlights of our week in Lisbon! We learned so much and Mariana was so engaging and fun to spend a few hours with. Our daughter loved pointing out things she had learned on that first day during the rest of our trip. We especially loved the scavenger hunt at the end of the walking tour and the little “prizes” at the end.

Thank you, Mariana, for giving us a wonderful introduction to Lisbon and sharing your knowledge and love of such a captivating city!

We’d highly recommend these tours to all, with or without kids, it was a nice pacing and amount of information to take in.

We had the best tour with Miguel! It was so nice to be with a guide who could talk about the history of the city in engaging, age appropriate ways! He was knowledgable and totally understanding of our 5 and 7 year old. We loved the scavenger hunt to find the different tiles throughout the city and the smell test of the different spices and plants that various settlers brought to Lisbon. Such a fun way to learn about the rich history of the city.

We took the Treasures of Enchanting Lisbon tour (kids 9 and 5) with Marianna and then the Genuine Lisbon (cousins 3 and 7 along with grand parents joined!) with Julia. Both guides were fantastic and so patient with our kids. The tours did not overlap so we got to see different parts of the city. They pointed out places and details we would have missed if exploring on our own. They had scavenger hunts for the kids, which were thoroughly enjoyed! The younger ones got tired on the Genuine Lisbon tour with the hilly walk, but Julia made sure we slowed down and took breaks when needed. I would absolutely do these tours again!

This was a fantastic way to see historic parts of Lisbon. Mariana was wonderful. She explained things in a very age appropriate way for the kids (9 and 11) and even had age appropriate activities for them. We all learned a lot and appreciated so much about Lisbon as a result of the tour. Highly recommended.

We all loved our tour with Little Lisbon - grown ups and the kids!! It’s so great to have a local show you around and help you to spot the details and the stories behind them. Great activities for the kids (ours were 8. 10 and 12), thoughtful route with rest stops for the kids (and adults) and fun surprises / activities along the way. We will be recommending this to all our friends.

We did two Little Lisbon tours, one was the family tour and the other was the food tour. Both tours were excellent and the grand kids (8 and 6) really enjoyed it along with parents and grandkids. The two guides were entertaining, they knew their stuff, imparted knowledge freely and provided unexpected challenges for the kids who were enthralled by the experiences.

Mariana gave us a wonderful tour of Mouraria, Castelo and Alfama as part of the Genuine Lisbon tour. Our young children (ages 8, 5, and 2) loved her explanations, enthusiasm and activities. They really enjoyed the tile hunt, scent guessing and scavenger hunt. We all learned something. Would definitely do another Little Lisbon tour on a future trip to Lisbon.

Our family loved our “Genuine” Lisbon tour. Mariana, a Lisbon native and our guide, made the content enjoyable for our twelve-year old tween and for us. Unlike many traditional tours for adults where the tour guide does mostly talking and explaining, Little Lisbon tours encourage active participation by integrating all the senses, sight, sound, touch, and smell. We learned so much history in such a fun interactive way! I highly recommend Little Lisbon tours for families.

We booked the “Genuine Lisbon” tour for our family with two kids (9 year old boy and a 4 year old girl). Our guide, Letitia, was incredible. She was knowledgeable and kept our kids engaged. We even did a fun scavenger hunt. Letitia was able to keep the kids involved for the entire time and we learned a lot of lisbon’s history.

We also booked a babysitter through Little Lisbon. The babysitter, Adriana, was incredible with the kids and kept us informed throughout our evening. We were able to enjoy the evening on the tour without any worry.
