This was a really fun day. The biking was the most fun, along the river, probably a 45 minute ride. It was mostly flat and easy and as a family who loves to bike together , we were pleasantly surprised. Our tour guide Damien was knowledgeable, friendly, for us our pasteis de Belem with no waiting, and the boat ride back was peaceful and beautiful. This was a great way to learn about Lisbon and Belem and spend the day outdoors being active.
Pedro Aires did an amazing job with navigating our family tour and teaching us all about the history of the city. We enjoyed the bike ride along the river! Pedro is personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
This tour was fantastic! It is exactly what we needed. We wanted to see lots of Lisbon, see spectacular views, hear some history and explore places that only the locals know. This was perfect. You walk for a bit and then bike ride for bit and then end it with a relaxing boat ride. Pedro Aires was a super wonderful guide - very knowledgeable, pleasant, attentive and great sense of humor. We highly recommend this tour of Lisbon and spending time in the shade of the tree with Pedro.
Our guide Pedro Aires was outstanding! His extensive knowledge combined with wonderful demeanor, made this a totally pleasurable experience. This tour involved a number of different activities, and Pedro made the transition to each experience a seamless process which allowed us to fully enjoy and capitalize the benefit of each one. I would recommend this tour and our guide to anyone that enjoys a variety of activities and historical perspective with each one.
Gui was our guide. Very friendly, very competent, very polite, always taking care of our wishes. We enjoyed the tour, the day and Gui.
Our experience on this tour was a bit of a disappointment. The weather was rainy and windy. It was only the two of us and our guide. The one hour + bike ride along the Tagus River, (going into a strong headwind all the way), was much more difficult than I expected- (and we routinely ride our bikes). Perhaps if we had e-bikes instead of 10 speeds, it wouldn’t have been an issue. We would have gladly paid extra for this option. The boat ride on the Tagus River never happened. We were told the last boat left before we arrived at the port. We ended up leaving our bikes at the port- and taking an uber back to our hotel. We had to wait over 20 minutes for an uber. Our guide said we would get a refund for the boat ride, but we haven’t heard anything from the tour company or Viator about how or when we might expect it.
We loved the tour. Our tour guide Johnny was excellent. We thought we had booked a tour without a bike ride. Johnny was able to arrange to delete the bike ride. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and Lisbon. He told us about in an entertaining way. He also told us about some of the different neighborhoods. The tour was very enjoyable. It was well worth it. We got to try the pastel de Belem. It was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the tour!
Amazing tour with a great guide - Ricardo! He guided us to the best spots in Alfama with a lot of tips and recommendations. The helicopter flight was the outstanding hihgliht! I could do it again and again...
Ricardo was amazing! Highly recommended! Really enjoyed the day! Great option to combine walking tour, boat trip and helicopter experience. Beautiful memories and pictures! Thank you
We did a tour with Luiz. It was really fun and we learned a lot about Lisbon. The tour contained a walking part, a bicycle part and in the end a tour with a boat. Thx Luiz for the wonderful tour!
Gui was amazing and very friendly. We really enjoyed the whole trip and definitely recommend this activity. We enjoyed the helicopter ride the most and the walking tour
We booked the tour for our first visit to Lisbon and it was such a great way to start our vacation. Our guide, Pedro Aires, was very knowledgeable, nice and funny. We learned a lot about Lisbon and the history of Portugal but also got many good tips about what we can do and where to go. We highly recommend him.
A variety of things to do. Good way to get oriented for the city. Recommended for the first day in the city. Our guide Luciano is knowledgeable and friendly.
This is a great way to see Lisbon. Don’t be put off by the bike ride as it is truly lovely and flat the whole way. This from an over 50 yr old with limited biking in years. Our guide Pedro was friendly and easy going. My only complaint is that the tour company did not inform us that the tram ride was closed due to the Pope being in town (why this affects the tram I have no idea as he was outside Lisbon on this day) so the walking part was changed. Thus we walked a different area. This was fine, although we had already been to this area and was looking forward to seeing a different one. Overall I totally recommend this to get an overall tour.
Wow, this was the best tour of Lisbon we could’ve asked for! Pedro is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and was so friendly and welcoming to us. The quad-factor transportation was a magnificent way of getting around (walk, bike tram and boat) and the pastel de Belem that was provided on the tour was THE absolute BEST!!! Thank you again Pedro for a tour of Lisbon to remember!!!
Great trip with Pedro. Tram, bike and boat ride all very nice, lots interedting sights and history along the way.
We had a great time, best walking tour I ever had! Our tour guide was João, he was fun, friendly, knowledgable and very dedicated to his work. He gave us tips what to see and visit, so I would recommend to do this tour on your first day in Lisbon. The tour is very well organised. It lasts for almost 5 hours, but you really get to know the city, and the group was really small so you get to ask all the questions and really enjoy the experience. Huge thanks!
We had a fantastic tour with Flavio! He taught us a lot about Lisbon and Portugal’s history. The tour itself was great - we loved that we got to see a part of Lisbon we knew we would’ve missed otherwise. The bike along the waterfront was lovely. Highly recommend this tour with Flavio!
Very nice guide. Luciano showed us a Brief overview but the most important things to see and experience. An absolutely dedicated guy. Huge knowledge about the history of the city. Really enjoyed this trip
This 360 tour of Lisbon is a great experience known the city their main squares, streets, monuments… It was so fun and beautiful to live. For me the best part was the boat, navigation was very calm, and we could enjoy the sea breeze with a sunny day. The deal with the guide was so great, he was so kind and so informative. Such a great experience. I recommend 100%!
It was a great tour, it was a great way to know Lisbon, our guide was so kind, and the e-bike was so easy to ride. The boat and the walk was so funny, it was a sunny day, so we could have a great day with beautiful views.
Great experience with our guide who was very professional and friendly. The horseback riding is such a great experience at least once in life, the beach is simply beautiful. Lisbon have beautiful landscapes, and our guide taught the best. 100% highly recommended.
This tour was the best way to know Lisbon in depth. I am so glad that I had this experience. The guide was so friendly and fun. The transportation accommodations were very comfortable with air conditioning, thankfully. For me, the highlight was the helicopter, the landscapes were amazing, and the pilot was very kind. In all, the tour schedule was accurate, we didn’t have to wait in any line, and we could see so many beautiful things. We highly recommend it to my friends!
If you want to have a 360 view of Lisbon, don't miss this tour! Pedro, our guide, was so nice and knowledgeable and helped the group all the way. The boat tour and the walking was super fun, but my favorite part was the bike! It was a sunny day and we had a great time while admiring the beautiful views of Lisbon.
It was a great tour, the best way to explore Lisbon! Flavio, our guide, was amazing! I highly recommend it! Thanks
Guided visit by John -13 March in the framework of the TIAT course. The guided tour in the Rossio area in Lisbon is a tour where you learn about history, culture and iconic architecture. João was able to introduce us to one of the most emblematic places in the city, where the past and the present mix in a unique way. From the Rossio Square, with its traditional cafes, from the D. Maria II National Theatre, the history of the old railway station, the neighborhoods, to the Alfama viewpoint, the visit provided enriching moments. In addition, knowing the Rossio’s connection with the resistance, the earthquakes and the reconstruction of Lisbon made the tour even more engaging. It was undoubtedly an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Portuguese capital! I recommend people to visit the rossio because it is one of the most vibrant places in Portugal's history, the visit becomes but lively if guided by João. Fredy Almeida
Our guides Walter and Miguel provided us with many facts and cool facts about Lisbon during the day! The men were also great company to have. We thought it was great!
Pedro Aires gave us a great day! After a good walk, we took a ride in a yellow tram and enjoyed a beautiful view at the top. Then we took a nice bike ride along the Tagus, ate a Pastel de Nata and finally made a nice trip back by boat. Definitely recommended!
Juan/John was a very nice and pleasant guide with a lot of knowledge! Nice tour that flew by even though it lasted 5 hours. Nice for walking, tram, cycling and boat. Great first impression of Lisbon on our first day. Recommended!
Lots of knowledge from the guides! Very attentive and polite! Excellent trip, the boat was really good, I recommend it!
Luiz Ribeiro was an absolutely brilliant guide! Lisbon is beautiful! He explained many important sights to us in a short space of time. Even the teenagers were excited! Highly recommended!
La visita ha sido con mis dos hijos y Pedro ha sido genial!!!!. Es una visita muy completa y entretenida al combinar tranvía, bicicleta, barco.... No se hace nada largo y Pedro lo ha hecho muy ameno. Agradezco la flexibilidad de la agencia al cambiarnos el día por un problema ajeno a ellos y la facilidad para gestionar toda la reserva. Volveré a contar con ellos en el futuro!!!
Excelente passeio pelas ruas de Lisboa, guiados por Flavio, que nos proporcionou ver os melhores pontos turísticos da cidade.
Superb discovery. friendly and inviting guide. Bike ride in Lisbon that we wouldn't have done
We have been with Flavio one morning which has made our tour more enjoyable. We have done on foot first Barrio Alto, then bike to Belen and back along the Tagus River. Spectacular
