Knowledge of his subject, love and enthusiasm for the culture,and fluent in both English and Portuguese-Paolo was the perfect guide.He was helpful and patient with all of our questions.If you are looking for the ideal guide you need look no further. More

Great sophisticated knowledge about the (Jewish) historie of Portugal. Paolo is great to listen to knows about the different historical opinions of given facts, and knows how to bring this across, how to step into a timeconverter and to understand and feel what was happening centuries back More

Paolo brings Lisbon to life! His passion and enthusiasm for the city is infectious and even if you're one of those people who aren't particularly partial to tours (private or group), when you're with Paolo you feel like you're experiencing the city with an old friend. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he's charming, attentive, easy to listen to... More

What Paolo doesn't know about Lisboa is not worth knowing. He talks with such passion and enthusiasm, oozes historical and cutural facts and figures in an accessible and interesting manner, that he added a completely different dimension to our trip - one that would not have been possible with only a copy of the Lonely Planet to rely upon. He... More

We had a great time with Paolo. His vast knowledge of Lisbon and history in general is very impressive. And even though it´s a none stop history class, he keeps it very fresh and you never lose interest in what he´s talking about. I highly recommend you use Paolo as your guide if you ever visit Lisbon. Thanks again for... More

I would recommend him and the tour to anyone visiting Lisbon. Paolo is good people and the city of Lisbon has a rich history to offer. More

I have been THOROUGHLY impressed by their team at every step of the way, from my very first contact with them. Every... More

I would highly recommend Lisbon Explorer. My family and I spent 4 days in Lisbon. Two of those days were with Paulo (Around Alfama, Wine Under the Castelo and Hidden Lisbon). Paulo was wonderful!! He is very informative and made you feel like you were walking around Lisbon with a friend. We learned so much about Lisbon walking around with... More

Even though Paolo had probably given his Hidden Lisbon tour dozens of times, he loves his work so much we felt his passion for it coming through with every story. He makes you feel like you are a hanging out with a local friend (especially because of his American background) and the pride he feels for his city is what... More
