Brodie's Free Tour of Lagos
♡ Save
A 2hr walk through the Lagos cobbled streets. A great way to start your stay to learn not only about the history of the 2000-year-old port city, but also many tips to make your Lagos stay more rewarding.
Every walker on my tour receives ‘Brodie’s Tips’, a PDF giving a list of my favourite restaurants. Bars and places to visit during your stay. It’s proven to be a winner with my walkers to date. I've been living in Lagos for 18 years on and off, and during this time I've learnt a great deal about the history of Portugal and the port city of Lagos. Alongside this, I've picked up many secrets on great restaurants, bars, and places of interest, along with a bunch of money-saving tips for travellers. I like to entertain, so I promise a few laughs along the way. The tour will include information about the formation of Lagos, the Age of Discovery, the great earthquake, the Marina de Lagos, the Caravel, and some of Portugal's famous sons, Prince Henry, Vasco de Gama, Dom Sebastiao, and Gil Earnes. We'll finish the tour with a Portuguese delicacy and hopefully a drink at my favourite bar.
