I'm an Italian 29-years-old tourist guide that lives in Lisbon. I've moved here for an internship and I decided to stay because I immediately fell in love with the city. Join my tours to experience this vibrant capital city from the point of view of a local and in a funny way. Something more about me: -I have a Bachelor Degree in Languages (English, French and German) -I'm writing my final thesis of a Master's Degree in Tourism & Management -I've lived also in Germany -I've done several jobs in Italy, like travel agent or copywriter for touristic platforms -I was always repeating "I would never live in a capital city" and here I am....

Tour description

The best way to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of Lisbon is to start by exploring the Alfama district.
This area of the city is undoubtedly the most characteristic and fascinating and allows the visitor to have a 360° view of the Portuguese capital.
What are you waiting for? Book my tour of Alfama: you will have an unusual and curious point of view from someone who arrived in Lisbon as a tourist and then decided to live there as she fell madly in love with the city. Through a journey full of anecdotes, advice and personal experiences we will spend 2h30 together having fun and learning a lot of things.

Valeria was an absolutely awesome guide! She was able to combine both ancient and modern History while providing fun facts about the Alfama neighborhood, Lisbon, and Portugal in general! I booked the tour to show the city to some foreign friends and many things she said I had no idea about! She was very talented in delivering the information with a fashionable and elegant speech, while preserving the tone of an informal walk in which we felt like old friends. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Lisbon! Thank you, Valeria!

Un tour molto bello con la guru Valeria, che ha raccontato molte storie emozionanti su Lisbona, Alfama e Mouraria. La nostra giovane e sensibile guru era molto preparata, si è adattata alle nostre preferenze e ha capito subito cosa ci piaceva. Il tempo con lei è volato. Super consigliata!
