About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- F1608CCdonaldh0 contributionsA wonderful sail in Lisbon!If there is ever a need for PT tourism to have a representative that truly exemplifies the hospitality and welcoming spirit of the Portuguese people they need look no further than Miguel and his son. Even though it was cloudy and sprinkled a bit of rain, they made the sail memorable and so enjoyable! I would highly recommend the experts anyone visiting Lisbon!Written February 18, 2025
- karissac2270 contributionsAmazing view from the waterThis incredible tour is the perfect ending to a peaceful evening! My husband and I booked the most brilliant sail with Miguel and had so much fun! It’t a must to see Lisboa from the river, it’s a game changer.Written November 30, 2024
- 77allank0 contributionsI got chills, their multiplying, electrifying :)Thank You, Miguel You were very professional. The ride was very enjoyable and relaxing. White wine and beautiful sunset.Written November 2, 2024
- PaulJ25150 contributionsFantastic sailing experience ❤️Fantastic 2 hour sailing experience seeing beautiful Lisbon from the water. Miguel our skipper , his Son and girlfriend were so friendly and welcoming. The yacht Sal was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Miguel apart from being a charming host was a mine of interesting information about Lisbon. Would definitely recommend anyone to do this while in LisbonWritten October 23, 2024
- X5034KLjohns0 contributionsAn intimate sail into the sunset and backWe booked a sunset cruise with Miguel, expecting to be with several other passengers. It turned out to be just us and Miguel and his son as crewman. The weather turned perfect and under the adroit handling of his lovely sailboat, we sailed by Lisbon heading upriver, enjoying the beauty of the city before, tacking and turning toward the west. We sailed under the 25th of April bridge towards Belem as the sun dropped spectacularly below the horizon leaving the sky an amazing array of oranges and purples. Miguel told us about the various monuments we passed, and about his love of sailing and his vast experience navigating the river, currents, and the differences between that and open ocean sailing. His son made sure the sails were properly trimmed, and kept us comfortable while offering us the most lovely wine. We'll definitely go again. You can't beat the view of this incredible city from aboard an intimate sailboat. Even better with a lifelong sailor as captain.Written October 20, 2024
- dj b0 contributionsGreat Way to Start our HolidayWe did this cruise on the evening of our first day in Lisbon. It was a great way to overcome jet lag and get oriented. Miguel was both an excellent captain and an engaging tour guide, telling us many stories as we cruised by the various monuments and buildings. All in all, a great evening.Written October 19, 2024
- Jenny B0 contributionsSunset sailingA really enjoyable way to see a different view of Lisbon relaxing on a yacht and watching the sunset. Miguel is the perfect host, looking after us and explaining what we were seeing. We loved it.Written September 21, 2024

- V7602YUnatashab0 contributionsSunset on the TagusWe went on the sunset trip with Miguel and Marco. There were only two couples on our trip. The boat was beautiful and Miguel was extremely knowledgeable about everything on or off the Tagus river. He had a great passion for sailing and seemed very at ease on the water when manoeuvring the boat and sails. Marco was supporting him and he couldn’t do any more for us, making sure we were warm with blankets and a cold refreshment. We absolutely loved the sunset tour. It was beautiful. We could have stayed on the boat all night, seeing the sights and listening to Miguel tell us about everything. Definitely recommend this as something to do whilst you visit Lisbon. For the price point it is amazing value. Thanks Miguel and Marco for a great end to our trip!!!Written September 6, 2024
- AlexundOlaf0 contributionsGreat tripWe had a great trip with Captain Sal and his daughter, who gave us a pleasant two hours with a lot of information. A good opportunity to see the city from a different perspective. The views were great. The sailboat is fantastic and the two were also very nice. Thanks for the good time.Written August 25, 2024

Excellent morning walking tour with Miguel Silva. We walked to many interesting places that I could not have found on my own. He is a great photo teacher and offered great help in improving my photo skills. Before the Photowalk, he asked about subjects in Lisbon that might interest me, and about the photography equipment I had. Also, he was personable, a nice guy. He gave a lot of information about the city, including history, people , other places to visit, and even restaurants. My only regret is that I took the tour toward the end of my visit to LIsbon, rather than at the beginning.
Highly recommended, and I would definitely do it again!.

We loved our tour with Miguel. He was kind, patient and interesting. He took the tour at our pace and really helped us find some good photo spots and helped us find out creativity. Having lived all his life in Lisbon had lots to say about the city that we wouldn’t have otherwise found out. Could not recommend more.

Positive Miguel waited for us despite delay in traffic due to rain.
-Seeing a part of downtown Lisbon we might not have gotten to on our own.
-My partner enjoyed conversations at a high level about photography
-Stories about his life and photographic journey.
Negative; Miguel's perspective is that he takes you to a place and lets you see it for yourself. This was good for the experienced photographers (2) but the 2 rookies floundered. I would have appreciated more direction as well as more information about the area we were in and Lisbon generally (based on what I heard from other reviewers).

Miguel is such an experienced, relaxed, and all round amazing guide and photography teacher. We never once felt rushed, our experience lasted far longer than was planned as Miguel gave us the time we needed to take the photographs we wanted to. He also provided us with so much valuable advice on how to improve our composition as well as incredible technical tips that have already helped me become a better photographer than I was earlier today. If you like photography and you’re in Lisbon, do this tour before anything else and if necessary, to the exclusion of everything else.

I greatly enjoyed my tours with Miguel. To start, we met at the hotel where we took an Uber to Graça. On the way, we talked about my gear and interest in photography. As a professional photographer, Miguel gave the right amount of instruction. The pacing of the tour was perfect. I was encouraged to be in the moment as I create an image. Miguel shared my enthusiasm when I successfully captured a tram in Alfama. When the tour ended, he waited with me until my Uber arrived. Above all, I came home with images I can look back on and enjoy.

If you are spending a few days in Lisbon I suggest you start with THIS tour. We and four days and Miguel with his knowledge of the city made our stay very memorable.
The quirky back streets are a must to see whether you are a photographer or not.
Miguel is a professional photographer and have his help adds to his great Lisbon guiding skills.
Miguel thanks for taking the effort to make this truly memorable visit

Where do I even begin, simply put this was the highlight of my trip to Portugal. Miguel is such an amazing photography teacher and an even better person. He made learning so much fun, going at my pace (I'm am a total newbie btw). He gave so many tips from improving the composition to even after shot editing. These are things I will always keep with me.
He knows the city too well. So I would suggest plan this as the first thing you'd do in Lisbon. Miguel shares a lot of insights about the city.
I would recommend the private tour, it's every penny worth it.

I had the pleasure of being the only individual on the walking tour. Miguel tailored the walk to my needs and improving my photography skills. I learned more from him in three hours than in a year trying to watch you tube videos. He taught me a different way to take photos with exposure compensation. I received many tips on composition, lighting, and even smalls tips like the way I hold my camera. This tour improved my abilities by leaps and bounds. Miguel was so kind and full of knowledge to share. He was able to answer all my questions and then some. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in photography regardless of skill level or the camera you own. If I am back in Lisbon, I will definitely join this tour again. Thanks for a wonderful morning!

My husband and I had a great time on this photo walk tour. We learned great tips on how to compose better photos and explored parts of Lisbon we would have never seen on our own. Great experience.

Thank you, Kim, for your excellent review.
It was a pleasure to have you and your husband at the Lisbon Walking Tour with a Photographer.
As you mentioned it's a great way to explore some of the hidden or not as explored parts of the city old neighborhoods, along with some great picture taking.
Glad you both enjoyed it.
Come back at any time.
Thank you
