About Tour Guide Marisa F.

Hello. My name is Marisa and I am a tour guide in the ancient, mysterious and beautiful city of Lisbon. Lisbon is an ancient city and Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims, Catholics passed through this city all left their mark in heritage, words and food. Lisbon was also a city of spies. Even the real James Bond ( yes, it was a real James Bond) lived here and worked here.

So, if you want to join me in this journey, I offer you, in Lisbon, 2 tours: a tour to discover the old town of Lisbon and a spy tour, focusing on world war II. But if you want to experience a magical place, I'll take you

to Pena Palace. Pena Palace is a must-see, in the beautiful, romantic and world heritage, Sintra Village.

And in the end, before you leave Portugal, I promise you will understand the true meaning of the Portuguese word Saudade.

See you soon. Goodbye or Adeus!
