We have tried to get a private tour guide for ourselves and finally found one group that has an opening. The price quoted seems expensive to us so, we are not sure we should book with them. I did find a local guide option. Does anyone have experience with local guide.com?

What's the price? Is it for an entire day? I did a couple of group tours this past March for about $100 each.
I have not heard of localguide.com.

Cristina and Pedro have a local tour company called Lisbon and Beyond. Cristina (Duarte) is a Rick Steves guide and leads tours of Portugal. In October 2019, we took a four hour walking tour of Lisbon with Pedro. A wonderful guide and an excellent experience. I don't recall the cost but, considering the vintage of our experience, I suspect it would no longer be relavent.

Check the Rick Steves Portugal book for local guides. He lists several. We also used Cristina Duarte from the book and enjoyed our day with her which was the Sintra area versus Lisbon. The Eating Europe food tours in Lisbon are very good if you’re looking for something that’s not quite as expensive as the private guides.
