Join us on this downhill walk past Fado taverns, markets and churches.

The name “Alfama” comes from the Arabic “Al-Hamma”, meaning springs or baths, due to the natural springs found in the area. During the Moorish period, Alfama was the center of Lisbon’s daily activities and over the centuries it became a slum for poor fishermen. You can steel feel the vibe of ancient Arabic markets through these narrow streets.

While you immerse yourself in Lisbon’s unique cobblestoned streets, our guide will provide context on the history, culture and daily life of Portugal.

Feel like a time traveler while you walk along Lisbon’s oldest quarter.

All our tours can be customized to best suit your travel ideas and itinerary. Feel free to check our suggestion below for additional inspiration.

  • star rating  Punctuality, well planned, friendliness, well adjusted for our needs and expectations of the places visited, excellent vehicles, great restaurant suggestions were important factors that made us enjoy the whole experience. Since the beginning when we contacted the agency, Ricardo managed to arrange our trip and tours according to our needs. Our tour guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable in almost every aspect of Portugal history as well as the country's folklore. He tried to please everyone in our group making a perfect balance in the activities we performed. We have traveled in Europe, Australia, Africa, South and Central America as well as United States. Comparing the overall experience of 4U2Enjoy with other companies that we have been in contact, this has been one of the best!!!

  • star rating  The best choice we made in Porto. Professional and knowledgeable service!! 5 stars.  - Taking this tour was the best choice we made in Porto. It allowed us to see everything we wanted (plus more) without the headaches and stress of having to navigate it on our own. We were picked up and dropped off at our destinations flawlessly. Manuel was very nice, knowledgeable and funny. We loved learning about the city from him and his suggestions were spot on. If you are looking to navigate the sites of Porto with ease, take this tour.

  • star rating  Amazing Day Trip from Lisbon - Ricardo organised an amazing guide, Francisco, to take us from Lisbon to Sintra, Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. Francisco has in depth, local knowledge of the areas and sites that we visited. The itinerary was well planned with careful consideration to our needs. We all loved the added touch of stopping at a famous icecream shop on our way back to Lisbon.
