Private Tour - Lisbon Walking Tour with a Photographer

My tour group of 3 was small enough to feel like a private photography session. Miguel selected a route that included important sites as well as out of the way areas, all designed to provide interesting & compelling photographs. Although he is clearly very skilled as a professional, he was generous with advice for an amateur, & made sure we came away with a selection of images we couldn’t have taken on our own. Seeing Lisbon through his eyes made my experience richer & I hope to apply his lessons as I continue my travels.

My husband is an avid hobby photographer with serious DSLR equipment and I am a purely hobby photographer with an iPhone! Both of us travel the world in search of photographic memories and our teen son comes along everywhere. We did two different walking tours with Miguel on our June trip to Lisboa. He is one of the BEST photographic guides that we have worked with in any of the European cities. He has a great eye for the best locations, adjusts on the fly based on picking up your interests and also adjusts as needed based on your complete itinerary in Lisboa. We did an early morning tour with him one day and he took us to some of the best locations and some very hidden spots too that we would not have discovered on our own. Next day, when we had booked an evening tour with him, he instead encouraged us to come to Cacilhas with him since we now knew our way around Lisboa and that would be unique. And it truly was!! He is also a truly gifted street and portrait photographer himself so it was super cool to pick up tips & tricks from him. One can always grow by learning from fellow photographers, and he definitely added to our skills!! Would happily spend time with him again in Lisboa.

Photographing Lisbon at the crack of dawn when the alleys are still semi-deserted is definitely a different way of visiting the city. My guide, Miguel, was very helpful and professional, giving me useful advice both on photography and on the particularities of the neighbourhoods we visited. Recommended!

I had a 17 hr layover in Lisbon. This was a sunrise walking tour. I’m so happy I did it! Miguel was great! The views were amazing! The area we were in had lots of hills so comfy wear shoes and be prepared to get your steps in.

it was an early start for the sunrise tour. The streets were quite empty, so we got some great shots. Miguel gave me real helpful tips and feedback for taking pictures, we also went to places which I wouldn't have known about. This was the highlight of my stay in Lisbon, I would strongly recommend it.
