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!

“ So much fascinating information! ”

Marisa did a great job educating us on the role of spies during World War 2. She is really knowledgeable and is getting her Ph.D on this topic so is also very current on her information. We really enjoyed this tour. Don’t miss it if you are a fan of World War 2 and espionage and intrigue.

I can’t think of a better tour guide we have ever encountered anywhere in the world! Marissa was soooo knowledgeable and such an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. She went above and beyond in making this tour of Évora fun and informative. A rare thing to say she nailed both!
