Our friends recommended Sam and he delivered. He picked us up at our door and gave us VIP service the entire time. Sam is so engaging and knowledgeable that you feel like an “insider” instead of a tourist. He showed us some secret spots and gave us tons of personal recommendations - which he wrote out ant texted to us after. We loved his enthusiastic spirit and his expert driving. In the crazy narrow streets we felt safe in Sam’s hands. We knew we had the right guide when people on the street would wave and call out his name. Other drivers came to say hi at the main stops. Everyone loves Sam - and you will too!

Basically had one day in Lisbon and wanted to see as much as possible. Booked a tour with Sam and wow, we had a great trip. He was helpful and knowledgeable and approachable. He was very friendly and took pictures for us and showed us the hot spots. He was very flexible too. I highly recommend the tour.
So pleased with TukDreams and our driver Sam. Fantastic guide, informative and a great sense of humour.
We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Sam, who took us on a tour of Lisbon. He is an amazing guy...so friendly and passionate. He takes time to explain things and provides valuable context to the sights you visit. We loved our time with him so much that we booked him for the following day to take us out to Belem. I highly recommend asking for Sam to be your tour guide while in Lisbon. He's the best!
Having only 2 nights in Lisbon this was by far the best way to experience the city. Should definitely take a tour with Sam to learn and see the best the beautiful city has to offer.
Sam explained everything so well along our tour through alfama and graca. easily the best way to explore the old areas of the city.
We had a wonderful tour of Lisbon with Sam. Had not planned on doing a tour but heard him speaking to another couple who decided not to go. We stepped up and said we were interested and away we went. So so glad we went with Sam. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the whole city. Can’t recommend higher!
Belém tour with Sam! Beautiful drive along the Tagus river to learn about portugueses age of discoveries. Would have taken us hours by ourselves.
All round great experience in Sam's tuktuk. Alfama and Graça areas well worth a visit. Would have taken us hours walking!
By far the most efficient way to explore Lisbon. We learnt so so much about the city and its history whilst having the best chats with Sam. Amazing person and an even better tour.
Sam our guide went above and beyond to make our tour a one of a kind experience. We saw both the touristy places and the hidden gems of Lisboa. I would recommend 1000%!
Sam was a great tour guide and the tuk tuk tour was a lot of fun. Same was super friendly and good conversation. He gave us lots of suggestions for our trip and was very knowledgeable. It was a great way to see a lot of cool stops in Lisbon in a short period of time. Would highly recommend!
TukTuks are everywhere in Lisbon however TukDreams and Sam are a must. Explained everything with such passion about his city and gave us free time at every stop without pressuring us, all round great experience.
My wife and I had an unexpected change of plans during our honeymoon in Lisbon, and thankfully, that's what led us to meeting Sam. What started as a disappointing situation quickly turned into one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. From the very beginning, Sam was friendly, professional, and incredibly transparent about what we could expect from the tour. He didn't oversell anything and made us feel comfortable right away. Along with Andy, he offered to take us around Lisbon in his tuk tuk, show us some of the city's most beautiful spots, and help turn our day around. What really stood out was how knowledgeable and accommodating Sam was throughout the experience. As we explored Alfama and Graça, he shared stories and insights about Lisbon's history, culture, and neighborhoods that helped us appreciate the city on a much deeper level. One of our favorite stops was a hidden "Secret Garden" in Graça with an absolutely incredible view over the city. It's the kind of place you would never stumble upon on your own, and it felt like discovering a local treasure. I appreciate Sam sharing this little gem with us. Sam was also exceptionally thoughtful and organized. Whenever Andy stopped to take photos of us, Sam would clearly let us know exactly where he would be parked and waiting, so we never had to worry about finding our way back. It was a small detail, but one that made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. He also made a point of getting us to locations where we could capture some quintessential Lisbon moments, including photos with the iconic tram. If you've ever visited Lisbon, you know that tram photo is practically a rite of passage, and thanks to Sam, we got some fantastic shots that we'll cherish for years. What impressed us most was that Sam genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great time in Lisbon. He happily shared recommendations for restaurants, bars, and local spots to visit, and even offered to drop us off anywhere in the city after the tour. There was never any pressure or rush. He simply wanted us to have the best possible experience. By the end of the tour, it felt less like we had hired a guide and more like a local friend had decided to show us around his city. If you're looking for a tuk tuk tour in Lisbon, I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He is friendly, knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about helping visitors fall in love with Lisbon. He played a huge part in turning an otherwise disappointing day into one of the highlights of our honeymoon. Thank you again Sam, from Livia and Andre! 10/10 experience. Highly recommended!
Best way to explore Lisbon! Everything that Sam showed us in an hour would’ve taken us ours. Well worth it given all of the information and history we learnt along the way too!
Had a great time with Sam. Super friendly, easy to talk to and knew a ton about Lisbon. We covered a lot of the city without ever feeling rushed, and he gave me some great recommendations along the way. Really fun way to see Lisbon, especially if you only have a few days in town. Would definitely recommend Sam.
Sam was an excellent guide. He showed us round the area and recommended some great Portuguese tarts which were freshly made. He answered all our questions and told us some great details on the places we went to. I would thoroughly recommend Sam.
Sam was one of the best guides we've had! Gave us so so much information and amazing tips for the rest of our trip. The tuktuk was clean and safe.
Great hour spent with Sam in Alfama. The history of the area is so so interesting, we learnt so much even in just a short amount of time, will be advising friends and family to take this.
We ran into Sam by the Cathedral out of a number of different tour guides. Sam was fantastic, friendly, enthusiastic and a great guide who went out of his way to make the tour really enjoyable. We never felt rushed, be ready for a rocky journey in places as Lisbon does not have the best roads. However, my friends suffer from bad backs and survived (and enjoyed it equally as much as me). Don't hesitate in booking Sam if you are considering a tuk tuk tour.
Fantastic tour with Sam. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He goes the extra mile to make enjoyable and interesting. Would definitely recommend.
Sam was our driver and really helped us discover things in Lisbon that we never would have known existed. Not only did he show us the traditional landmarks, cultural sites, and shopping areas, but he also sent us several recommendations via text that really helped us explore and experience more of Lisbon. Sam was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and made our time in Lisbon even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Booked online and the booking process was smooth and quick. The website provided so much useful information, making it easy to choose the right experience. Our guide, Sam, was excellent, and I highly recommend him. He was knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly helpful, and we had such a great time with him. We chose the 3-hour tuk-tuk tour, and it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended!
My girlfriend and i adored our tour with Sam! Perfect mix of fun and history showing us around his beautiful city.
100% recommend Sam and Tuk Dreams. Smooth organisation and pick up. We opted for a 3 hour tour around the old town and downtown. He made sure we had the best experience and told us so many fun facts and history about Lisbon. The tuktuk was clean and comfortable and had a clear roof so we could see everything.
Beautiful tour with Samuel through the old town and downtown areas. The 90 mins we opted for flew by! By far the best way to see the hills of Lisbon

Amazing 2 hours spent with Sam in Belém. We wanted to explore the history of the Portuguese exploration period and sam was a perfect guide for this. Lots of in depth history around the monastery and discovery monument finishing at the maritime museum. Overall a great tour.
Our trip with Sam in Lisbon was fantastic, he was flexible, communication was easy to organise the tour. just a very friendly and thoughtful guide, showed us the best places for secret views and viewpoints as well as all the historical monuments.
We had an amazing afternoon with Sam. The Tuk Tuk was very comfortable and Sam was a diligent driver, (this was important to us as we had 2 young children with us). He took us to all of the highlights of Lisbon, we tried an INCREDIBLE traditional sandwich and he told us some fascinating facts about the history of the city. 5/5 stars. Would recommend, me, the hubby and the kids loved it. Thank you, Sam.
Tuktuk easily the best way to see Lisbon! The hills are so steep that this is 100% the best option to be able to see a large part of the city in a shorter time frame. Cool experience and Sam ensured that we enjoyed ourselves and took us to try the traditional ginja liquor!
My girlfriend and I met Sam in Chico and booked a tour for the next day. Fantastic way to get a great overview of the downtown and old town area. Would recommend.
We had a great Tuk Tuk tour through Lisbon and saw the city's highlights from three different viewpoints. Samuel was a friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced guide who made the tour both fun and informative. He also gave us excellent recommendations for after the tour and even shared helpful tips for the other destinations we're visiting. Thank you, Samuel!
Samuel gave me and my girlfriend a great tour of the old town. Packed a lot into the 90 mins we opted for and gave us so much information. Was happy to drop us at the mall we wanted to visit too

I highly recommend taking a tour with Sam. As it was our first tuk-tuk tour, he made us feel comfortable from the start with his friendly, thoughtful, and accommodating approach. He took us to some of Lisbon's most beautiful viewpoints and introduced us to charming places we probably wouldn't have discovered on our own. Sam was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and its history, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If we do another tuk-tuk tour, we will definitely book with Sam. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

We booked our Tuk Tuk tour and 45 minutes later we were collected from very close to our apartment by our driver Sam. Sam had a great knowledge of the Old Town area in Lisbon. He showed us many interesting places and explained the history behind each one. The highlight was a visit to a well kept local secret bar…in a secret garden where we had refreshing drinks while enjoying great views over Lisbon. Thanks to Sam and all in Tuk Dreams for a memorable tour!
