What you can expect

Embark on a mesmerising walking tour through Belém, where every step unravels the grandeur of Portugal’s Age of Discovery.

Our journey begins at the awe-inspiring Jerónimos Monastery, a masterpiece of Manueline architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. As your guides, we will weave the threads of history and passion into the storey of how this monument stands as a testament to Portugal’s golden age. You will walk where monks once prayed for the safe return of explorers, and we will show you the intricate carvings that whisper stories of the sea and far-off lands. With your entry ticket included, we will explore the cloisters and marvel at their serene beauty.

Next, we take a short stroll to the legendary Pastéis de Belém, the birthplace of the world-renowned custard tart. But this isn’t just a snack: it is a tradition! As you savour the warm, flaky pastry, we will share the secret tale of its recipe, a closely guarded treasure since the 19th century. Let the flavours transport you back to the heart of Lisbon’s bustling trade era.

Refuelled, we head towards the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, a towering tribute to Portugal’s fearless navigators. Standing on the banks of the Tagus River, this grand monument comes alive through my storytelling. Imagine the caravels slicing through the waves, the thrill of discovering uncharted territories, and the courage it took to face the unknown. We will guide you through the figures immortalised in stone, from Prince Henry the Navigator to Vasco da Gama, and help you see how their vision changed the world forever.

Throughout this walking tour, we will share personal insights and little-known facts that bring history to life, connecting you deeply to Portugal’s rich heritage. This is not just a sightseeing tour, but a journey through time, a celebration of human curiosity, foolishness, and bravery.

To elevate your experience even further, you have the option to add a visit to the Belém Tower (morning or afternoon) or even, at the end the tour, put the cherry on top with an unforgettable 2-hour boat ride. Glide along the Tagus River, see Lisbon from the water, and take in breathtaking views of the very landmarks you just explored. It is the perfect, magical way to end your journey and a perspective you simply cannot miss. The ship sails at 2 p.m. for the morning tour, and 7 p.m. for the afternoon tour.
