Lisbon Tours
Six experiences designed for you. All capped at six people. No exceptions, only if you are travelling with your family. Below is everything you need to decide. Pick one. Or all six. We will be here for you, sharing the love for our city.
01
The original coastal road trip. Hidden tracks, microclimates, and zero sanitized loops. We take the roads that weren't on your travel blog. Eight hours that feel like a week.
02
Historic cracks of the center on foot. Zero megaphones, honest history, pure respect for the residents. We walk through neighbourhoods that still have people living in them — and treat them accordingly.
03
Crossing the border of the old town into the first ring. Industrial architecture, local subcultures, and the layers they don't show you on Instagram. The city beyond the postcard. In a van. With five other people who know better.
04
Leaving the postcard behind entirely. A deep dive into the outer rings where the actual heartbeat of the working class lives. The food, the football clubs, the neighbourhood bars. The city that tourists never visit.
05
No laminated menus or frozen seafood. A raw, unscripted evening eating where our guides spend their own money. Private groups only — this is not a tour product. It's an invitation.
06
A tactical breakout mission from the cruise terminal. We hijack your day, dodge the mega-buses, show you the real city before the ship sails. Tailored to your docking schedule. We pick you up. We bring you back. Everything in between is ours.

Travel
Different.
We are glad that since we started We Hate Tourism Tours we never wanted to do things like everyone else was doing. Instead, we treated our guests truly like our friends, exploring and rediscovering everything that was really important in our cities and culture.
Read our manifestoOur Tours Are Not For Everyone
Not because of capacity. Because more than six is a herd, and herds don't see anything. This is not a policy — it's a belief.
If you need a megaphone to communicate with your group, your group is too large. We talk to you like a human being, at a normal volume, in the street.
Not where someone paid us to take you. Our dinner tour goes to places where our guides spend their own money. No kickbacks, no laminated menus.
The beautiful parts and the brutal parts. No sanitised narrative, no postcard version of the past. Lisbon is complicated. That's why it's interesting.
We are a different kind of tour company. We answer your emails, text you back and everything we do, people are at the center.
We believe tourism can be a force for good — or a destructive force. We've spent years thinking about which side of that line we stand on. We know where we are.
You can book directly, or if you have any questions and want to talk with us, send us an email to reservations@wehatetourismtours.com. We are also on WhatsApp +351 917 025 343.
