Not my best tour experience

Amanda_s, Feb 2026
We did the highlights of Lisbon tour. My friend and I were the only in attendance. The driver was educational but repetitive and overly loud. After a full day it became quite taxing on the nerves. It would have been nice to be able to engage in some conversation amoungst ourselves rather than hearing the same things repeated over and over again. The highlights, especially the monument, was an unnecessary journey that I wouldn’t take again. I would recommend opting for a food and wine tour.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Well organized and professional. Driver cum guide Was very good and went above and beyond normal route. Thanks Nuno.

Great tour of Lisbon.

Thomas_L, Oct 2025
A great way to see a broad view of Lisbon. Very informative as well as seeing a lot of sights to make you go WOW! Even though there was a language barrier with the other guests we were able to communicate with them with by being respectful and patient. Manuel was very knowledgeable and very helpful in answering questions. I would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon. Warm regards,

Excellent private tour. Manuel was awesome!

Christopher_T, May 2024
We had a great private day tour of Lisbon with Manuel. He showed us a lot of places and asked us what our interests were so that he could tailor the tour to what we wanted to see. I've very happy we were able to book this tour. We squeezed in a lot of Lisbon that we would not have been able to see. I'd highly recommend the tour, and guide Manuel!

Lisbon in a day!

michaellaryle, Nov 2021
We had an awesome day with Miguel. He picked us up at our hotel and informed us that we would have a private tour since we were the only guests. He was informative, friendly and accommodating to our tour preferences. We were able to see so much of Lisbon in a single day. I highly recommend this tour.

Great city tour with Michel !

Petra_B, Aug 2019
Hopefully you get assigned Michel, as he was fantastic. He was not just knowledgeable on Lisbon, and history, but caring and great to work with. His English was A +
