Very enjoyable and lovely... - Very enjoyable and lovely tour. Francisco did a really great job of giving us a deep and thorough history of Lisbon and the sights, as well as being very accommodating with our start time which was difficult to coordinate with coming back from Sintra on the same day. Would definitely recommend!

Our favorite Lisbon experience! - This is a must do activity which provides a fantastic overview of important and interesting sites along the waterfront and beyond. Skipper Francisco is extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon’s history and is a wonderful storyteller. He and Vasco make a great team! My husband and I both loved the tour and being out on the water. We highly recommend this adventure to fellow travelers!

Good price and fair, punctuality, boarding and landing condictors, fantastic boat, fantastic crew! - Fantastic experience and with the ideal weather to see Lisbon from the river. Sympathy and professionalism at its best! A unique boat, traditional as there are not many, that showed us Lisbon, the river Tagus, and a unique perspective. Thank you very much and I recommend above all a tour like this for those who come to Lisbon!

Watching Lisbon from the river and listening to Fado music - What a lovely true Portuguese experience! Looking Lisbon from the river and listening to Fado music at the same time is precious. Rita kept also talking about the monuments that we passed by and we had a love time at sun set hour. And if you are afraid of being cold when the sun is gone, don’t be ! They have wonderful duvets in the boat to make you cozy and warm !
