During our tuk tuk tour, we will pause at the imposing Lisbon Cathedral, one of Lisbon’s oldest and most iconic monuments. This magnificent cathedral, built in the 12th century, combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles and carries centuries of history. Upon arrival, our guide will share fascinating facts about the foundation of the cathedral and other curiosities about it. The traveler will only visit from outside
At the Miradouro das Portas do Sol, you will have one of the most stunning views in Lisbon. This stop lets you take in a unique panorama over the red rooftops of Alfama, the city’s oldest neighborhood, and the majestic Tagus River in the background. Here, our local guide will give a detailed explanation about Alfama and its surroundings. The guide will also highlight monuments visible from the viewpoint, such as the National Pantheon and the Church of São Vicente de Fora, explaining the significance of these landmarks in Lisbon’s history.
At this stop, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte, one of Lisbon’s tallest and most impressive viewpoints. With breathtaking panoramic views, the lookout offers a privileged perspective of the city, spanning from the São Jorge Castle to the Tagus River, including the Baixa Pombalina and the iconic 25th of April Bridge. Here, our local guide will share the history of this special site, from the chapel of São Gens to the importance of the viewpoint for the Portuguese during the conquest of the city.
During the tour, we will pass by the impressive Monastery of Sao Vicente de Fora, one of the masterpieces of Mannerist architecture in Lisbon. The guide will explain the historical importance of this monastery, founded in the 12th century and expanded in the 16th century, which played a central role in the history of Portugal.
During the tour, we will pass by the iconic Feira da Ladra, which takes place only on Tuesdays and Saturdays. It is Lisbon’s oldest and most traditional market, held in the historic Alfama neighborhood. As we explore the market, our guide will share interesting facts about its origins, which date back to the 13th century, and how it has become a meeting place for lovers of antiques, crafts, and unique items. Discover the stories behind this lively street market, which is a true journey into Lisbon’s past, and where the spirit of bargaining remains alive to this day.
During our tour, we’ll make a brief stop to admire the majestic National Pantheon, one of Lisbon’s most iconic monuments. The guide will share the fascinating history of this building, which was originally a church dedicated to Saint Engrácia and transformed into the Pantheon in 1916. We will explore its architectural styles, from Baroque to Neoclassical influences. The Pantheon is the resting place of some of the most prominent figures in Portuguese history, including writers, politicians, and national heroes. Prepare to be impressed by the beauty of its dome and the rich history this space represents!
Discover Santos and Alcântara, two of Lisbon’s most vibrant neighborhoods, historic landmarks, and creative spaces. Learn about their rich industrial and maritime heritage while exploring the blend of tradition and modern culture. Along the way, stop at "Momentos Wine & Cheese" for a delightful tasting of Portuguese wines and cheeses, experiencing authentic local flavors in a cozy atmosphere.
Maybe I got the wrong food tour? There was no little local treat in between, just at the end there was little place, offered cheese with wine. Totally not what I expected and saw on the tour itinerary. I think we got the one of the oldest and worn out tuk tuk. The guide did not give much explanation or stop many places. Not walking around together, literally parked and let us go for 10-20 min a few places.
Our driver Rui was knowledgeable and very accommodating. The cobblestones are a little rough but our driver was fantastic. Stopping at multiple lookouts for us. At the end we stopped for a food tasting with wine & 3 different ports. All very good. It was a great way to see Lisbon in a limited amount of time.
Guide was nice and fun, but the experience was very expensive for what it was. It was a quick pass by of the sites. I’m not sure we if we made all the stops on the itinerary. There were some suggested stops, so maybe we shouldn’t have agreed to those. The listing was not very accurate regarding the premium tasting having the option for a meal. The tasting was good, but definitely more expensive by going through this tour.
After arriving in Lisbon a few hours earlier in the day, we thought the first tour we would do would be a tuk tuk ride. Thankfully, we ended up with Rodrigo (Rod). The 2 hour tour was nonstop laughs and stories, and Rod made sure we saw everything we could in the Old City and even a little beyond. We changed the route about two minutes in, much to Rod’s delight because it meant he could show us more. As a geologist and son of a botanist, we had a lot to listen to and learn about. Spoke near perfect English, gave great reccs for later in our trip, and tried to avoid the big potholes. My mom and I had a fantastic time!
Francisco was outstanding. Knowledge and very supportive of us, given the mobility challenges we had. I’d recommend him to everyone
Ghassan was wonderful and we really enjoyed our tour. We were able to squeeze in lots of stops in a short window and the spot we went to for the premier food experience was perfect!
This tour was a total scam. It started off fine but quickly went downhill. While we visited the advertised viewpoints, we were repeatedly approached by aggressive street vendors who became physically pushy when we declined to buy their products. Instead of helping, our guide criticized us for being "rude" to the vendors, which was both uncomfortable, unprofessional, and not true! The tour also failed to include the promised tasting. Instead, we were dropped at multiple stops and told to buy whatever we wanted on our own. At the end, the guide took us to one of his friend's shops for a ginjinha tasting that we also had to pay for, making it feel more like a sales stop than part of the tour. The worst part was how the tour ended. After telling us we were in a neighborhood where people get robbed, the guide tried to charge us extra for either a Belém tour or a "transfer" back to the original meeting point. When we declined, he left us there to figure out our own way back. Overall, the experience felt like a complete scam. We didn't receive what was advertised, were constantly encouraged to spend more money, and weren't even returned to the advertised end point. I would strongly recommend avoiding this tour if you don't want to feel scammed and stranded.
I took a solo 2 hour tour which covered a lot of areas and viewpoints to get an idea of the city. Nathalia was an excellent guide, lots of knowledge about the city, history and current day, so helpful and happy to adapt the tour to my limited mobility on crutches. She went through the tour at a safe steady pace, so I was able to retain the info. Very convenient being picked up/dropped off from my central hostel, an overall enjoyable experience. Thank you!
Great way to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time. Your driver will customize your stops for you, and give you great insight along the way. We highly recommend asking for Ghassan, he was fantastic!
We took a two hour Tuk Tuk tour of old town on our arrival to Lisbon & Jama gave us a great history lesson! We stopped & took photos at some of the great viewpoints. We stopped for refreshments too! It was a great activity to orient us to Lisbon early in our trip.
Thank you to carol for changing our experience in lisbon! We couldnt have had a better guide!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Francisco! He was knowledgeable and thoughtful. He made our 4 hours together really fun and we learned a lot. The tuktuk is truly the best way to see the most of Lisbon especially we all the steep cobblestone streets!
The tuck tuck tour with our tour guide, Arthur, was a phenomenal experience with our teenage kids. You’re tired on the first day and we got to see a glimpse of Lisbon at large in a relaxed and comfortable setting. Arthur made the experience extra special, bringing fun, cool vibes for the teens & education to our first view of Lisbon. I would highly recommend this tuck tuck and specifically requesting Arthur for your next tour experience!
Our tour was relaxed! Carolina was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable. She initially asked us if there were any specific interests we were hoping to go to on this tour or hear about. We appreciated that. Our conversations were fun and we learned a lot about Lisbon’s culture, history, and enjoyed many of its sights! Carolyn did an excellent job and most certainly navigated the streets with safety and care!
Rita gave us the perfect tour of Lisbon, full of history and stories and insights. Using a speaker, we could hear everything. She’s an excellent driver, doing her best to keep the tuk-tuk ‘massage’ as gentle as possible! Fun, not hurried, letting us choose where to end our tour. This was the perfect way to visit the Lisbon highlights without wearing out the feet and knees! Thank you, Rita!
This was such a great way to start off our time in Lisbon. Gonçalo was our guide, and he did a great job. He was fun and knowledgeable about Lisbon!
Rita was an amazing guide/driver/ambassador for our first visit to Lisbon. Highly recommend to anyone interesting in learning about the history and highlights of this incredible city!
We had an incredible tour of Lisbon with Rita! She guided us through the city's beautiful old town while bringing centuries of history to life with fascinating stories and local insights. What made the experience especially memorable was how she connected Lisbon's history to the holiday celebrations taking place during our visit, helping us understand the traditions, culture, and significance behind the festivities. Rita was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about her city, making every stop feel meaningful. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Lisbon, its neighborhoods, and its people. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting who wants more that just sightseeing.
Four of us had a wonderful Tuk Tuk Tour through Historical Lisbon with Natalia. Her very informative commentary gave us a better understanding of this beautiful city. We also very much appreciated the stops we made. They gave us a chance to see the inside of a beautiful church and some panoramic views of the city. It gave us a chance to snap some very memorable photos. We all agreed that this was one of our favorite experiences of our stay in Lisbon.
Super fun way to see the city. They know their way around so well. Our guide was fabulous. So knowledgeable and great to be with. Highly recommend.
Great tour covered a lot of Lisbon. Rodrigo the tour guide was brilliant and knowledgeable. I would recommend.
Our tuk tuk tour with Rodrigo was one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon. He was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and neighborhoods. We loved that he took us beyond the typical tourist spots and shared local insights, hidden viewpoints, and great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Traveling with our family, including teenagers, can sometimes be a challenge, but Rodrigo kept everyone interested and entertained throughout the tour. His passion for Lisbon was contagious, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for the city. If you’re visiting Lisbon, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Rodrigo. It’s the perfect way to experience the city and start your trip with a local perspective.
Luca was a great driver! We had a great time. He's energetic and really smiley and wonderful. He should be ranked #1 tour guide. We really enjoyed ourselves. He went out of his way to make it special.
Leo shared lots of great history during the ride and accompanied us at some of the stops to make sure we saw all the sites. Great tour and great tour guide!
Bumpy, so be careful with health issues. Fun experience for an hour or so. If your under 50 years old, have at it!
Arthur was an amazing tour guide! They were extremely accommodating when our flight was canceled, and moved our tour. Arthur was very informative and a great picture taker! 10/10 recommend this tour with Arthur!
Pablo was amazing! We had a wonderful time and felt that we saw everything to complete our Lisbon trip. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and we left knowing a lot more about the history of Portugal.
Carolina provided a great tour guide with deep and interesting knowledge of lisbon and portugal. Carolina was amazingly accommodative to my interests. Well done
If you’re visiting Lisbon, do yourself a favour and book a tuk tuk tour. Our driver Ania made the whole experience absolutely unforgettable — warm, knowledgeable, and full of historical facts and fascinating stories you’d never find in a guidebook. Every viewpoint and cobbled alley came with local insight and personality. Ania adapted the tour to our interests, never rushed us, and made sure we got the perfect photo spots along the way. It felt less like a tourist tour and more like being shown around by a local friend. Highly recommend!
Bernardo was just right for our group- he was able to multitask between our frequent questions and navigating the narrow, cobblestone streets! He knows much about Lisboa and Portugal history. Definitely recommend Bernardo!
Our driver Catarina was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic giving us a tour of Lisboa. She made the absolute most of our time with her customizing the tour to our questions and focusing on what we hadn’t already seen in the city. We would highly recommend ColourTrip Lisbon and especially Catarina. Also, she takes the best photos! We learned so much history on this tour, and it is apparent how much she loves her job!
We had such a lovely time on our tour. Our tour guide Goncalo was so kind and informative and entertaining. He was full of local tips - which we took him up on and def appreciated! Anyone visiting Lisbon should book this tour.
We did the short tour, but Arthur was amazing and very knowledgeable and made it really fun! He showed us places we would have not found ourselves
A quick and easy tour of the city. Picked up straight off the ship and dropped off at a place of our choice at the end
We booked a 1 hour tour which was about as much as my young nephew can handle! It was excellent. Bernardo, our driver and guide, tailored our trip to exactly what we liked. He was very informative for the adults, and entertained my nephew at the same time! I definitely recommend this, would have been great if we could have done the longer ones and learnt/seen more. Thank you Bernardo!
Our Tuk Tuk tour of Lisbon with Ania was fabulous. She is knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed the entire experience. She asked us what we wanted to see and do. We just told her to take us to the best places. It was Palm Sunday. We visited two churches during Mass. She dropped us at the square we asked her to take us to at the end of the tour. We highly recommend Colourtrip, their Tuk Tuk tour and especially Ania.
Arthur is an informative and caring tour guide. He is likable and easy to be with. My knowledge of Lisbon expanded and I appreciate it with my whole heart
Jama was an excellent guide. He was very well-versed in the history of Lisboa and provided an excellent experience.
Amanda was AMAZING! Her knowledge of Portuguese history is remarkable. She is friendly and engaging, and a terrific driver too! As a first time visitor to Portugal, I really appreciated her recommendations of what to see, do, and eat while I’m visiting. 5 stars!
I loved it, my guide, Vasco Lobo, was so friendly and we were able to extend my trip for a discounted price. I seriously would recommend a tour with him because he is just cheerful and fun.
A great way to see Lisbon. Vasco was a fabulous guide who happily told us about his beloved Portugal and the fabulous city of Lisbon. He told us which tourist traps to avoid and took us by different sites to see and explore. Overall a wonderful experience and we would happily have Vasco as our tour guide again.
Very informative and accommodating! Really nice guy (Leo) and gave us so much information about many areas and history!
This was one of the best tour guides I've had since I've been in Portugal. He was very thoroug and made it interesting.
Visiting and viewing Lisbon guided by a local makes the experience so much better. It’s incredible how much Francisco Q know’s about his country! Book a tuk tuk tour, you won’t regret
We were taken to the historic areas of Lisbon by Arthur. He was excellent and knowledgeable. 90 minutes non stop info and driving. Short stops but enough to see what was there. Found out more about Portugal in this time than in a lifetime.
Berto was an amazing guide! We saw so many beautiful places. Got great pictures. My children loved the chocolate! He was very knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend!
We had the best time with Rodrigo going around Lisbon! He knows the area really well and made sure to give us plenty of time at different stops to get out and enjoy the views. This is definitely one of the best ways to see Lisbon! We’re even going to go back to the world’s oldest bookstore that he pointed out before we leave the city. Highly recommend!
Our tuk tuk driver was Ania and she was amazing, lots of historical information, great driver and most importantly, she was great fun. She made our day!!
Lovely intro to Lisbon! Amanda was a great guide, very informative and friendly. She gave us many recommendations for the rest of our stay.
Our tour with Arthur started out amazing and only got better. He was incredibly bright, knowledgeable, and a brilliant educator. He made the entire experience both fun and enriching. We’re avid travelers, and we were genuinely impressed. It was a perfect tour. Highly recommend Arthur!
