Very nice experience that...

Luciana_W, Feb 2026
Very nice experience that you have to do while visiting Lisbon! Even with not so good weather we had a lot of fun!

What a fun and unique way...

TIFFANNY_S, Feb 2026
What a fun and unique way to explore both land and sea . Thank you for the Portuguese history lesson and overall great experience. Maria and Fabio were amazing.

What to do on a wet day in lisbon

Bianca_F, Dec 2025
Well what fun we had on here. Pedro and The Captain were very entertaining and enthusiastic throughout the whole trip. It was a really great experience despite choosing a cold, wet day to do this. Definitely recommend this if you want a nice relaxed, spacious, seated view of the streets of Lisbon. Other tours have been packed in like a literal sardine and views, zero. The trip up the Tagus,to see the tower and monument at Belem was wonderful . So nice to see it towards land for a change.

Amazing tour!!!

Sarail_R, Sep 2025
Pedro and Paulo were the best tour guide ever. We enjoyed the trip 😀 This is the first time we've been in that place and we have a good time.

Amazing 👏

Andy_b, Sep 2025
The hole experience was amazing specially with the splash as we were interning the water so be prepared and the captain and Maria were amazing and full of fun and special Maria made it more fun and she had a lot of knowledge definitely if you're in Lisbon must do.

Fun trip

A Wonderful Tour

Winston_S, Aug 2025
It is safe, fun and enlightening tour. My wife and I had an outstanding experience. The transition to the river was amazing, The crew was professional, informative and funny. A must do tour and you must visit any of the nearby restaurants after the tour.

Fantastic!

Sandra_D, Aug 2025
It was sooooo enjoyable! Families were able to sit together - me and my daughter sat together. We joined the queue to get on but it was unnecessary since our names were called in the order of booking.

Amphibious Fun

Ben_H, Aug 2025
A great way to see a lot of the major tourist spots in the city, in a comfortable and fun way. Pedro was a great guide.

A mix of adventure and culture

Rui_M, Aug 2025
The staff is funny and nice. We visited the most iconic places of Lisbon and the river trip is a funny adventure. Good history curiosities. Thanks to our captains Paulo and Fernando.

As Ridiculous as you would expect.

Megan_V, Jul 2025
This is a tourists tour. The guide is funny and the tour is loud with music to accompany the ridiculous vehicle. That being said, bring your sense of humor and just enjoy being a tourist. You see lots and learn about the history of Lisboa.

Our guide was too lively,...

priya_m, Jul 2025
Our guide was too lively, we couldn't understand the tour sometimes? His facts were not that accurate and my family were pretty bored and confused. Very nice guide and driver just not that good for us.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE not just a tour of Lisbon

Julie_S, Jun 2025
I expected the excursion to be as described- a bus/ boat tour of Lisbon to see all the main sites it was awful. The Guide/ Interpretor announced she was also entertainment. We were treated like 5 years old. On entering the water- The Driver & Guide entered with maximum speed so we all get very wet and very bumpy. The weather was not good so we were cold for the rest of tour. They thought it was hilarious and passed around paper towels to dry ourselves. The worst was, without consulting us, at the end, they repeated the ‘dive into the water!!! The Guide said’ as you have enjoyed this trip so much- we gave you a second plunge but do not tell anyone on social media' I am very unwell, it effected me. There was a young child huddled up to her mum and many older people. It was disgusting. We did not book for a childish entertainment and water experience. This was a gift to my aunt!!!! she hated it. I can not upload photos as we were sp uncomfortable we did not take any.

Very entertaining and fun...

Rajvinder_A, Jun 2025
Very entertaining and fun tour. Maria was a great host! Interesting combination of land and sea views

Review

Amberly_B, May 2025
I enjoy riding tours. It was fun, organized. The transfer from land to water was so fun !! My son enjoyed it as well. Fun for all ages!!

FUN AND WORTH IT

Linda_B, Oct 2024
Had a great time. Would definitely recommend. Our guide was lively and created a fun atmosphere. He was knowledgeable and humorous

A great time driving throughout the city & on the river/water

Tyrone_T, Oct 2024
The tour guide Fosho I think was his name was excellent. He kept us laughing & was very informative of our trip.

Cruising Lisbon

Melanie_M, Sep 2024
The staff were amazing! The vehicle was in great condition. Not sure about the long ride through a congested part of Lisbon. Might be better to organize a drive to sites along the river front for better flow. There were several we passed by so quickly...would have been happy to spend a couple minutes seeing them up close. It's a short tour and easily worked in to a travel itinerary. I'd recommend for anyone who hasn't done it at least once.

Great fun, great tour guide

P_C, Sep 2024
Really enjoyable experience. Our tour guide Tanya brought fantastic energy to the tour and was great fun. Captain Hugo kept us all safe on both land and in the water. Thank you guys!

Hippotrip excellent especially on River Tagus.

DerekMcArthur, Sep 2024

laura_B, Aug 2024

Gal_N, Aug 2024
Interesting , fun way to see Lisbon from different angles. Hugo the driver and Tania the instructor were absolutely great. I strongly recommend.

Fun way to your Lisbon, learn and laugh!

Anna_D, Jul 2024
The guide was both informative and hilarious. This was a really fun way to see some city steps from land and on the river. A fun way to see Lisbon sites!

Fun 🤩

Rajeshkumar_M, Jul 2024
Our guide Pedro was entertaining and spoke in both English and Portuguese. When we thought the tour had finished as we had driven out of the water, the driver surprised everyone by turning the vehicle around and went back into the water 💦!

Worth the experience!

Manting_H, Jul 2024
Highly recommend it! Love the moment driving into the water:) the interaction and the commentary was really good. Maria and captain Biato(sorry idk how to spell it) are really nice! Thanks for everything!

Splash

Ingrid_K, Jul 2024
Sliding into the water was very exciting. We loved the whole tour. The guide Pedro was good and told really exciting stories

As advised

Brandy_P, Jun 2024
It was easy to find the meetup location. The driver and the tour guide were really engaging. Enjoyed myself

Nice look around the city...

Christine_R, Jun 2024
Nice look around the city then the river was fun. We found the audience participation aspect unappealing but that is just who we are as a couple.

Very nice and fun trip....

Sama_Q, Jun 2024
Very nice and fun trip. Anna was just the best she was the highlight of the trip. Great trip around the city and good information

Too much pep talk and too loud music

Lasse_E, Jun 2024
We got lot of interesting information, but even more pep talk. But then even the pep talk was better than the music: loud and rythmic. Maybe you should arrange child based tours (like the one I attended) and senior based tours.
