Wonderful boat cruise on a beautiful day in Lisbon with my husband and teenage children. We all enjoyed the trip and the views and sights of Lisbon from the Tagus river. Our guides Maria and Titouan were fabulous and made it a great experience. A must do if you are visiting Lisbon!

Very educational about historical monument’s and views were incredible and the weather was warm, we went late and seeing the city at night from the river was great.
A highlight of our visit to Lisbon. Beautiful views, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable crew delivered wonderful service.
This is a totally relaxing way to avoid crowds and learn about Lisbon! Our crew João and Teresa were so kind and fun and informative. It was my 4 boys 25-17 favorite thing we have done in Lisbon! I found it on Viator and I can’t recommend it enough! Probably wish we had done a sunset cruise, but 3-5 was also great!
Fantastic way to get a different perspective of Lisbon during the golden hour, amazing!
Beautiful views, great navigation and service from team.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed seeing Lisbon from a different perspective during the golden hour. It’s great to know that you appreciated the views, the sailing and our team’s service.
It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you again soon!
My friends and I live in Lisbon and wanted to get out of the heat and, for me, celebrate the 4th of July. Pedro and Tiago made our 2-hour journey along the Tagus River so enjoyable. They kept us supplied with cold beverages, creating the perfect, relaxing trip. There wasn't loud, pumping music to ruin the peacefulness, which we really appreciated.
Pedro also shared some history along the way that we didn't know, along with a few of his favorite local places to eat. It was the perfect morning, and I'll definitely be adding this to my list of things to do when guests come to town or when the city heat is unbearable. Thank you, Pedro!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! It was a real pleasure having you and your friends on board, and I’m very happy to know that you enjoyed the morning and found the experience so relaxing. And of course, I was happy to share a little of Lisbon’s history and a few of my favourite local spots along the way!
It was lovely to be part of your 4th of July celebration, and I’m delighted to hear that you’ll be recommending us to friends and family visiting Lisbon. We’ll be very happy to welcome you back whenever you need a break from the city heat!
Thank you again, and see you next time on the Tagus! ⛵️
This IS the best way to not only see the coastlines of the north and south banks of the Tagus River, but also to learn about the sites! The captain was SO informative (and entertaining) - even caught the attention of my three adolescent sons. Such a beautiful, smooth ride and this was on a very windy day. It was just my family of 5 on board so easy to take photos of the sites as no one else was blocking our camera 🙂. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed discovering Lisbon from the Tagus and that the stories and history along the way kept even your three teenagers interested — that’s a fantastic compliment!
It was a pleasure having your family on board, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you all back to Lisbon and the Tagus again in the future!
Excellent cruise the crew were very knowledgeable but also did not overload you with information. The boat was in excellent shape, was a great way to spend time together.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to see you again for another special occasion — or simply for a relaxing sail on the Tagus! 😊
Our tour guides were very friendly and knew a lot about the history of the city as they pointed out landmarks. It was a lovely trip, very relaxing, and beautiful out on the water.
John and Maria were the best! Such an informative and fun tour!! 2 euros for more drinks and it was so amazing and the best time
Excellent experience on the river! We had a great time as a family, relaxing, and checking out the sites of Lisbon from the boat. Beautiful sailboat with lots of information about Portugal and the Lisbon area. Great activity for a family or group of friends.
Great sunset tour! A little chilly our night, but they offered blankets to everyone. The wine was nice. We enjoyed the commentary from the guides and loved chatting with Matilda. It was a nice mother/daughter evening.
Pualo and Tonio were very friendly and informative and made the experience very good, especially at sunset.
Great tour of the river with Paulo & Joao! Friendly, Knowledgeable, Professional! Went with teens and had a great time.
Excellent tour, very comfortable. Maria and her partner took great care of us. There were five of us and we all couldn't be happier.
My friend enjoyed it so I'm clearly an outlier, but I didn't care for it and I generally do enjoy boat tours. The scenery was mostly dull and repetitive, with hardly anything interesting or special to see. It was too cold to be a relaxing kind of experience as well (even when dressing warmly and having a blanket). I basically kept wishing I was walking around Belém instead and had saved my money. The staff was friendly, but that's about it. They didn't speak a whole lot nor did they volunteer much information, but they did answer questions and were nice people. But to me it's absolutely not worth the price or money and I ended up being disappointed.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations.
As for the weather, the temperature on the water is naturally something beyond our control, although we always do our best to make our guests as comfortable as possible during the experience, providing blankets to our guests to use if they feel cold.
We’re glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and that they were happy to answer your questions. We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry that the overall experience was not what you had hoped for.
Paolo and Teatwin (sorry about the spelling!) gave a great tour - humorous and informative. We enjoyed seeing the city from the river.
Wonderful boat cruise on a beautiful day in Lisbon with my husband and teenage children. We all enjoyed the trip and the views and sights of Lisbon from the Tagus river. Our guides Maria and Titouan were fabulous and made it a great experience. A must do if you are visiting Lisbon!
It was a great experience. We are planning on doing it again soon with friends. It is worth the price.
We booked the sailing trip on Christmas day and it was the perfect gift. We ended up having a private tour as no one else had booked. Gabriel and Joao were friendly and shared info on what we were seeing, history of Lisbon, fado, life in Portugal. It was clear they love what they do and they ensured we had a great time. Our son got special treatment which made for a memorable Christmas. We had a perfect Christmas morning despite it being cold. Highly recommend and would do it again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Vanessa! We’re truly happy to hear that your Christmas sailing trip turned into such a special and memorable experience. Having a private tour on Christmas Day made it even more magical and we’re delighted that Gabriel and João could share their passion for Lisbon with you :)
Your kind words and recommendation truly motivate us and we would be honored to welcome you back for another sailing experience in the future.
Wishing you and your family all the best!
This was a perfect activity for our first day in Lisbon after a long day travelling. Paolo and Lorenzo were our crew and Paolo was a great guide with great engagement with all of us. We watched beautiful sunset over Lisbon. I’m so glad we decided to do this. For a family of 4 it was pricey but it was absolutely worth it.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy the sunset sail was the perfect way to start your time in Lisbon. We’re glad it felt worth it and hope to welcome you on board again soon!
Beautiful & relaxing ride. Both guides were kind, knowledgeable & professional. Definitely a must do experience if visiting the Belem area, perfect start to our day!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the relaxing ride and that our guides made the experience special. Hope to see you on board again soon!
Excellent sail! Very small group with just myself and two others. It felt like a personal tour. Great guides and handled the sailboat beautifully. They were both locals so they shared in depth knowledge of the area and history. Beautiful opportunity to take close up photos of the bridge and the Christ statue. Highly recommended!

It was great. Our two tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon, and about Portugal in general. They were also really nice, and fun to talk to. They both knew how to operate the boat, and were professional in all respects.

The boat trip was cancelled. We were there at 12:30. 1:00 sailing. No boat. Please refund our money!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi
We made the refund on the same day, a few minutes after the talk with you.
So from our side everything was made as talked. It should be a Viator problem, for sure, and anyway for sure that you received an email from Viator with that information. And for sure you will be refunded as the e-mail described.
Regards
Pedro
Beautiful views, smooth sailing, tour guides were funny and knowledgeable, gave us lots of information but also gave us time just to enjoy the views. Lovely iced tea included (as well as alcoholic drinks and water), plenty of space below deck for our bags and a toilet. Would definitely recommend, we loved it
Lovely sail with Paulo and his crew. Entertaining and relaxing small group tour that is great for a solo tourist like myself!
Beautiful day and views of the city. The captain and his mate were great - so nice and very informative. Gave delicious wine.
