To truly discover the soul of a city, its best to do it through the writings of its local writers. And on this private tour, it is exactly what you'll be doing! Fernando Pessoa and Jose Saramago are some of the best writers Portugal has given to the world. Their love for Lisbon has been captured in their writings and I intend to show you that! Let's follow their footsteps as we walk through the most emblematic places of the city for each of these writers. On this private tour, you'll be walking alongside the insightful thoughts of Pessoa and Saramago. Start with a local treat: a pastry from a locals' favorite coffee house. And to get inspired like Saramago, check out the stunning view of Lisbon from a beautiful garden. Go to where Fernando Pessoa was born and for an insight into his life visit Brasileira coffee shop and Tabacaria Monaco, both important places which Pessoa visited regularly. Are you a fan of Saramago's books Baltazar and Blimunda and Raised from the ground? I'll take you to a square where relevant events from the books took place. For a real Pessoa treat, follow me to his favorite restaurant where he still has a table in the corner. See how Saramago's legacy is still alive by visiting one of the most charismatic buildings in Lisbon, that is now the house of the Jose Saramago Foundation. Want to know more?
