About our Tours
Our tours are aimed to improve your visit experience. As a result, we have devised five 'commandments' for our walking tours and guided visits or, in a more practical way, the top 5 tips to make sure everything goes fine during your holiday in Lisbon!
Selection of the programs
Little Lisbon is here to help your family have an incredible Lisbon and cultural heritage experience. Our Private Family Tours and Guided Visits are specifically designed for families and children, including hands-on activities, interactive storytelling and games. All of these are aimed to improve your experience while keeping the entire family or group of children engaged and entertained, and still learning about history, science, arts and nature. Before starting, make sure you choose the best program for your kids and their interests. All our tours are complemented with challenging activities and are themed and categorized (history, arts, nature, science) thus helping you to select. Also, pay attention to your kids' ages and the duration and distance we plan to walk (you know them better...).
Our half-day tours may be combined into a full-day program. Follow our suggestions for complementary programs (according to the theme or visited neighborhood). Add Workshops and Experiences to your family programs and enjoy a great family vacation in Lisbon!
Clothing
Our walking tours operate as planned, rain or shine. Please make sure to bring weather-appropriate clothing and comfy shoes. If necessary, your guide may slightly modify the tour to best accommodate the weather. In winter or rainy weather, don't forget to bring a raincoat. A coat or a sweater might be useful even in summer time, because it gets cold inside some monuments and museums, and also outside 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.
Food & Water
Have a very energetic and complete breakfast before starting the tour and don't forget to bring water (although there will probably be a few drinking fountains on the way). Bringing some snacks (fruit, crackers) might also be a good idea.
Baby transport
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.
During the tours / visits
All our tours and guided visits are planned to be walked in a leisurely pace. We can stop at any time and as many times as necessary. Please beware that tours for late arrivals may be shortened so that the tour finishes at the original scheduled time...
Have a great family tour and enjoy the city!
