This was an incredible, personalized tour. Our tour guide Eduardo was absolutely the best! He knows all the right places to take his guests and will adjust the schedule accordingly if there is something else you want to see. We saw so many parts of Lisbon and really got a chance to experience the city in a short amount of time. We would have never been able to see or even find all these special places without an experienced guide and a tuk tuk! Not only was Eduardo on time, even early, to pick us up at our hotel, but he arranged to drop us off at a sports bar after the tour so we could watch an American football game. Eduardo had called ahead to make sure they were playing the game and then waited after he dropped us off to make sure the game was on. Incredible service. We highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic sights, well laid out, amazing tour guide! Gabi was our guide and he made sure we spent most of our time at the sights that were most important to us..
This tuk tuk tour was absolutely amazing! Nuno was such a blast. He was extremely knowledgeable of the city's history, restaurants, nightlife, etc etc. You get a locals best spots with this tour. He also makes the experience unique to your likings and made it extra special for us. He is friendly, talkative, funny makes the 4 hours feel like if they are flying buy because he covers so much of the city and makes it so fun. This was our 1st tour and the 1st day of our trip and I honestly recommend scheduling it at the beginning of your trip, because you learn, city's history and you cover all the important landmarks with this tour. Im sure this company hires great tour guides, but I feel like we got EXTRA lucky that we got Nuno. He even sends you recommendations on where to eat, what to drink, where to shop etc. Just the best. Period.
Wonderful way to see the city and get recommendations from a local resident. Our tour guide, Tiago, was very personable and we had so much fun with him.
Fabio went out of his way to make us comfortable. He made sure we were warm. It’s an awesome & convenient way to see & experience Lisboa. Fabio was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating!
Review from the four of us: Very impressed with Filipo’s knowledge and passion for his job Very enthusiastic, attentive and caring. He was very accommodating Smartly presented, punctual and patient. He went the extra mile, stopped at a church no planned, which made our day! We could not have had a better guide!
Mario Diniz was FANTASTIC! He knew everything about the city. Wonderful person too. As good a guide as we have ever had!
Tiago was incredible! He took us through the city and showed us art, shared some history, and even stopped at a little espresso stand. He showed us some cool secret bars and gave us some local tips for navigating the city. We would do this again!
Pickup and drop off were flawless. Miguel was excellent and very knowledgeable. Excellent English and very easy to understand. Good overall view of the city and it’s history.
An absolutely fantastic and efficient way to discover Lisbon! This tour takes you to all the major sights without wasting precious time and energy walking long distances or figuring out public transport (even though day passes work out so much more cheaper).. For us, the tour was just right (travelling with elderly parents ) and more than adequate. Our guide, Miguel Troni, was outstanding: polite, knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly accommodating. He made the experience all the more enjoyable! Even though expensive, highly recommended and definitely 5-star service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a great trip with Serra! Well-paced, lots of history. So much packed into 4 hours including chocolate cake and parel de natas.
My husband and I took a tour today with Mario Diniz. He was fantastic!! So knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed his intelligence and oversight on what’s happening in Lisbon, as well as all of Portugal. He was so well versed on the history of Portugal. You can’t get any better than Mario. He was the best!!! Who takes you behind the scenes of the makings of the best dessert in Portugal, which I tried when we get back to our hotel and that pastry tasted magical!! So delicious!! Thank you Mario Diniz for a fabulous day!! Hope you enjoy the USA as well!!!
It was a great tour. Andre showed us great spots. He gave us lots of historical information. He was funny and responsive to our questions.
Antonio was the driver and guide and he did a fabulous job of both. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and kept us all involved so we had input to the places visited. We were a family and friends group of 5 and all enjoyed it thoroughly.
Tiago was a great host, very informed about the history of Portugal and very friendly. Highly recommended!
Well planned and executed. Driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much. Thank you
Eduardo was a fantastic tour guide for our 4 hour tuktuk tour. He was very knowledgeable- sharing about the history and culture of Lisbon. He catered the tour to what we wanted to see. Is was a great way to spend our first day learning about the city and seeing many of its highlights. Would definitely recommend.
Filipe far exceeded everyone’s expectations! He was so gracious, knowledgeable and a wonderful driver in crazy traffic! We saw so much that we would never have seen without this experience! Highly recommend this company and if you can, ask for Filipe!
Fillip. Very informative. 4 strong hours. Very diverse in his approach. Read his audience well. Very courteous.
Tony was amazing. So friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. Super careful driver and very accommodating regarding stopping etc. Fab day.
Tiago did a great job on our tour. He was very knowledgeable and provided great and interesting facts about Portuguese history.
Great tour! Marcos was knowledgeable, kind and funny! We enjoyed the tour. Thank you for a great morning!!
We had a wonderful Tuk Tuk tour with our guide Fabio. He was very knowledgeable fun and informative. We highly recommend this tour!
Joao Pedro Silva-your attention to tier one customers experience made today a great success. Your ability to orate the stories of Portugal and Lisbon in a meaningful way created a framework of history, people, and events I enjoyed learning and will remember. This is the tour to introduce Lisbon and set the stage for a great visit. Thank you!
Mario Diniz was fun, informative and very knowledgeable of historia, culture and people of Portugal. It was a wonderful tour! Thank you!
Mario Diniz was a wonderful guide. He was very informative and helpful.
Joaquin was wonderful! He was knowledgeable and so kind. We took the 4 hour private tour and it was a truly memorable experience. I learned so much about this beautiful city and would highly recommend Joaquin as your guide!
Tony was amazing. Four hour tour for our group of four ! Amazing pastries and restaurants. His knowledge of Lisbon was so perfect. Highly recommend his company and him.
Nuno Serra exceptional tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable & nformative. Feel we saw every part of beautiful Lisbon possible in a quick 4hr ride. Highly recommended - especially if you are fortunate enough to have a guide as experienced as Nuno Serra!
Emphatic yes. Top way to discover the back streets of Lisbon and learn details from a local. Well worth the cost. We have taken Viator TukTuk tours in other cities. This one lives up to expectations.
We had a wonderful time on our tour with I Took a Tuk Tuk! Antonio was our guide, and the four hours absolutely flew by. He was knowledgeable, personable, and, above all, genuinely friendly. My wife and I are traveling with my mom and aunt, and mobility can sometimes be a challenge. Antonio couldn’t have been more accommodating. He took the time to understand our needs, adjusted things along the way, and made sure everyone was comfortable without feeling like we were missing out on anything. What really stood out was how naturally Antonio handled everything. He clearly knows Lisbon, enjoys sharing it with others, and has a way of making you feel like you’re spending the morning with a friend rather than taking a guided tour. Hats off to I Took a Tuk Tuk, and especially Antonio. He made what could have been a challenging outing for our group one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon.
Luiz was absolutely brilliant, very funny very knowledgeable and very good communication, we saw all the sights and he gave us restaurant recommendations! Five star! 🤩🤩
Personalized , customized to your needs- very pleasant and informative- fun 4 hours Would highly recommended
Our private tuktuk tour with Pinto was the perfect way to see Lisbon. We made stops at many monuments, stunning churches, parks with viewpoints, and the bakery with the original (and most delicious) pastel de nata! He did a great job explaining the history of Lisbon along the way, offered different stops, showed us all of the different neighborhoods and highlighted the styles of architecture (which he was an expert on since he has a background in architecture for many years before becoming a tour guide!) - overall he was absolutely lovely, kind, professional and informative. Additionally, the tuktuk was also way more comfortable with padded individual chairs compared to others we had seen, so we were very comfortable even though the roads are notoriously bumpy! Would highly recommend this tour in Lisbon and Pinto as a guide!
Wonderful afternoon spent with Fábio! He was fun, informative and friendly! We were able to see Lisbon via a tuk tuk on our first day which gave us an introduction to the area. This allowed us to determine where else we want to spend more time later in our trip. Perfect way to start! Highly recommended.
Awesome tour of the city of Lisboa! António was an amazing, thoughtful and knowledgeable tour guide. As my eight-year-old daughter said it was “the best tour ever!” What an awesome way to spend the first day in the city.
We had an absolutely wonderful Tuk Tuk tour of Lisbon with Antonio! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun for our entire family. Traveling with three kids under 11, we especially appreciated how engaging and accommodating he was. It was the perfect way to explore Lisbon and learn about the city. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon.
It was excellent and would definitely recommend to others. Our guide was very knowledgeable friendly and helpful. Thank you Filipe.
Andre was amazing! Fun, kind and informative... we left feeling like family. What a great way to experience Lisbon. Highly recommend!
We booked this tour for the afternoon after we arrived in Lisbon from the U.S. Our guide was Filipe. He was awesome! He picked us up at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable, and you could tell that he has a deep love for Lisbon. It was nice to mainly sit and get an overview of the city while jet-lagged. I highly recemmend this private tour.
Guide MrNuno was amazing! Good hospitality lots of knowledge. With my wife we had a great experience
Marcos was exceptionally good guide!! He went the extra mile to show us Lisbon. I had a list of places of interest and we were able to visit them with Marcos guide. I would recommend Marcos 100%.
Tiago was our guide and he was extremely personable and amazingly knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to everyone! Tiago rocks!
Fantastic way to see and explore the highlights of the city. Our guide Pinto was very knowledgeable and outstanding.
Gabby was a fantastic knowledgeable guide as well as being personable. The four hour tour is well worth it- we saw a whole lot of Lisbon in comfort
My wife and I had a fantastic tour of the key sites of Lisbon with excellent commentaries and stories from Bruno our guide. He was so knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Well worth the price of the tour!
Filipe was my guide and he was amazing! He was so accommodating, brought me to places and view points I wouldn’t have thought of in the first place. He made sure I felt safe, comfortable, and most importantly that I was having fun! Can’t thank him enough for a great and unforgettable tour!
We highly recommend this tour. Marcos was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. He took us all around the city. We were exhausted from a long day of travel, but the tour was the perfect thing to do for our 1st day in Lisbon.
Out driver, Gabriel, from I Took a Tuk Tuk, met us outside the hotel and gave us a four hour tour. This is a great way to see what Lisbon has to offer because I never would have known how massive it is without this tour. He was exceptional! He not only showed us all around but provided historic context about each site we visited. In addition to the historical sites, he took us to a weekend flea market to which we returned to shop afterwards. We happened to run into him during our return and he greeted us like long lost friends. We visited the Time Out Hall that also has shops attached—of course we had to return there as well. I highly recommend requesting Gabby as your tour guide
Gabby our guide was wonderful. He was so thorough and told us all we needed to know about Porto! He delighted us with not the usual places and we experienced the best of Porto😉. I would recommend a private Tuk Tuk tour as an intimate and fun time! And the pastesis of Belém was delightful.
