What are people saying about Lisbon

Enjoying the sunset tour

I recently went on a sunset boat sailing tour, and it turned out to be one of the most relaxing and memorable experiences of my trip. From the moment we stepped on board, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the journey. As the boat set sail, the views were already beautiful, but nothing compared to the moment the sun began to set. Watching the sky shift through shades of orange, pink, and purple while gently gliding over the water was absolutely stunning. It felt peaceful and almost surreal—definitely a highlight worth experiencing in person. The tour was well-paced, giving us plenty of time to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and simply unwind. Some light refreshments were provided, which added a nice touch without distracting from the natural beauty around us. Overall, I would highly recommend this sunset sailing tour to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic experience. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a couple, it’s a perfect way to end the day on a high note.

Would definitely recommend. First time surfing and loved it!!

Really good lesson. First time surfing and spent lots of time in the water after some initial instructions. Lucas helped build me up throughout and was very helpful and ensured I got the most out of the experience. Would highly recommend. Thank you to Lucas and Eduardo.

Good value group surf lesson with very friendly staff

Pros - friendly and knowledgeable teachers, plenty of time in the water, good teacher to student ratio (about 1 for every 4-5 of us), started from the basics and built up, wetsuits and boards supplied, good price, valuables were kept securely while we learnt Cons - given the group size it could be a bit crowded in the water, one of the tutors didn't give much feedback on technique (although the others were fantastic)

My girlfriend and I had...

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience with the pub crawl! You get to see a lot of cool streets and night life during the crawl and meet great people in your group! The guides were hilarious and filled with fun! Drinks were well priced at the bars and the welcome shots and happy hour unlimited sangria and beer was fabulous! Fun games to play during the second bar too!
