Meeting place will be changed and you won’t know about it, therefore you will miss the excursion. We were asked to meet at another place unknown to us.
We had a great experience! Raquel was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the city during our 2 hour tour. We traveled with our 9 year old and she was great with kids! She adjusted and tailored the experience to our family. Would absolutely recommend 👍🏼

Mylene_r, this is the kind of message that keeps a small team going. We like people to leave knowing more than when they got in. Her passion for Lisbon shows, and we are glad you felt it. The door is always open.
Tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Offered suggestions on additional places. Would do it again!!!!!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Monique_d, you have left us speechless. It means a lot that you took good memories of Lisbon with you. The recommendations are genuine: they are the places we go ourselves. Whenever you want to see more of Portugal, just say the word.
Highly recommend the tour of Lisbon this way. Pedro our tour guide was amazing so enthusiastic and happy to be there with us. Also recommended areas for food and drink to us in CHHHHHIADOO. Thanks again Pedro
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Jamie, that CHIADO is going to stay with us for a while. Pedro's enthusiasm is entirely genuine, and his food tips come from the places he eats in himself. Come back hungry.
Our driver, Victor was friendly and gave us wonderful tidbits of knowledge. He allowed us to get out and roam at various places. Victor was even kind enough to take photos of us. I would recommend going on the tour. The architecture was beautiful and awe inspiring.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Victor never hurries anyone back to the seat — roaming a while is part of how he runs the afternoon, camera duty included. Lisbon's architecture rewards anyone who stops to look up.
Vasco was a very knowledgeable guide, bringing us through the neighborhoods with a few stops to see the best views of Lisbon. He brought us to Alfama at our request. The Fado music was a great addition to our tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Vasco took the Alfama request and ran with it, which is very much his way. The fado was his own call: that music belongs to those streets and he knows exactly when to bring it in.
Raquel was a wonderful, hospitable driver and guide. She was very friendly! And knowledgeable of Lisbon. We greatly enjoyed the tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Tamara, hospitable is a fine word for Raquel: she treats the tuk-tuk rather like her own front room. Knowing Lisbon inside out is the other half of what she brings to a tour.
Victor was an incredible guide, knowledgeable and interesting! Great way to see highlights of the beautiful city of Lisbon.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Michele, knowledgeable is common enough; interesting is the rarer half, and Victor holds on to both. Lisbon is a fine city to be shown properly.
We had a wonderful time on our Tuk Tuk tour with Vitor!
We happened to be in Lisbon during Pope’s visit which required to change the pickup location due to road closers. The communication was very prompt! Also took as a few extra minutes to find Vitor in from of the Cathedral due to the massive crowds, he actually found us :) but it was all handled with a smile and continued communication.
It was a smooth sailing from there. Vitor is very knowledgable, gave us a lot of interesting information and has a great sense of humor. He gave us plenty of time at each stop and we never felt rushed.
Overall a great experience! Highly recommend especially if you want to see more of Lisbon without climbing stairs and steep streets and learn a lot about the history along the way!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Niki, finding anyone outside the Cathedral during the Pope's visit was no small feat, and Vitor kept his smile through all of it. Never feeling rushed is deliberate on his part: he would rather linger than tick boxes.
Pedro was so nice and got us around the city well. The tour is a little pricey, but worth it if you only have a limited time in Lisbon. Plus it was so hot I can’t imagine walking around the city and dealing with public transportation.
Plus, I think two hours was great because I’m not sure another hour would have been as nice as the first two!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
You are right about the heat: Lisbon in July is not a walking city, and Pedro knows how to keep a ride comfortable. Two hours well spent is exactly what we aim for, and we appreciate the honest words.
We had a wonderful Tuk Tuk experience with the most awesome guide, Pedro! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon, very personable, and so much FUN! We even booked a second trip with him later in the day. Highly recommend!🎉
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Booking a second trip on the same day is about the best review Pedro could hope for, Richard. History and fun are not an easy pair, and he carries both without visible effort.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. We felt like we saw the best parts of Lisbon.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Answering everything without ever losing the thread of the tour takes practice, Thomas, and your guide clearly has it. Seeing the best of Lisbon in a single ride is exactly the idea.
Vasco , our tuk tuk tour guide was very good, energetic and shared lot of information about the history of Lisbon . Highly recommend him .
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Energetic is the word people always land on for Vasco, Nidhi. He puts a great deal into every tour and the history comes along with it. Thank you for recommending him.
Long overdue review of what was an enjoyable, if a little uncomfortable (bumpy) trip around Lisbon. Definitely recommended if you are looking for something a little different and don't mind the odd bump or two. Not as much time sat in traffic as we had expected and the group seemed to thoroughly enjoy the experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Chris, the cobbles are part of the deal and we will not pretend otherwise, though skipping most of the traffic is one of the quieter advantages. Glad the group enjoyed it, and thank you for coming back to write.
Our guide thiago was excellent. Polite friendly. Knowledgeable. Took us to some great sites and we learned where all the good spots are in a short while. Definittely recommend the tuk tuk as you have great views and get to the really tiny streets
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thiago is exactly that: polite, easy company, and full of the sort of local knowledge you cannot look up. Those very narrow streets are where the tuk-tuk earns its keep.
We had the best time on the tour! Took us to all the places we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. Vitor was the best guide. He even went out of his way to get us reservations to a great restaurant and showed us a local bar that was amazing!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Getting you a table at a restaurant is in nobody's job description; Vitor simply does that sort of thing. The local bar was his own find too. Thank you for trusting him with your evening.
Great experience! Our tour guide was Vítor, he was awesome…very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to all the historical places and didn’t rush us. If you want to have a very productive and enjoyable tour of Lisbon ( in English) request Vítor as your guide! Ginjinha…. Very good cherry liquor and the chocolate cup is a very clever idea..thanks to Luisa.
Note: The meeting point is at Hard Rock Cafe which has a public parking across the street, so no worries on where to park your vehicle.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Not rushing people is something Vítor insists on, and Luísa's ginjinha in a chocolate cup is a stop nobody forgets. The note about parking at the meeting point is genuinely useful for others, so thank you.
Antonio is so passionate about the city. Incredible professional who gave up sucessful position to start this amazing tour company. We ended up booking another tour from one of his team and it also exceeded are expectations. Friends were so impressed and disappointed when Antonio was full and w for lesser company. Was great at accommodating to what we wanted to see and could navigate.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
António did leave a settled career behind for this, and the passion you felt is precisely the reason why. That a second tour with one of his team held up just as well is what he is proudest of building.
Fun trip!! Enjoyed the sights of lisbon and our tour guides were great! Antonio was very good and so was his teammate!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Arti, Antonio and his teammate work well as a pair, and it shows in how the tour flows from one stop to the next. Both of them will be pleased to read this.
This was such a great way to see the city in a short amount of time. My tour guide Pedro was amazing and very knowledgeable. With so many hills in Lisbon I do not think I would have been able to make it to all the sites as a walking tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Those hills defeat most walking tours, which is precisely why the tuk-tuk works so well. Pedro knows how to fill a short ride without ever making it feel rushed. Great to read this.
Our guide gave us a fabulous tour and was so accommodating. She was also super informative. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Christine, being accommodating and still getting all the history across is a difficult balance, and our guide struck it. We will pass every word of this straight on to her.
This was a great way to start our week in Lisbon. Raquel picked us up at our hotel right after we arrived, and we spent the next hour and a half getting to know the different areas of the city. She familiarized us enough that we were comfortable getting around the rest of the week on foot. I would recommend this to anyone coming into the city for the first time. It is a great way to get a first look around before setting out to explore on our own.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Bridget, that is the whole idea: ninety minutes with Raquel and the city stops being a maze. She will be glad it made the rest of your week easier on foot.
Eine tolle Tour mit vielen verschiedenen Eindrücken, der unterschiedlichen Viertel von Lissabon. Salvador war ein fantastischer Guide, der auf jede Frage eine Antwort wusste. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Auf jede Frage eine Antwort — das ist typisch Salvador, Tim. Die verschiedenen Viertel Lissabons so direkt nacheinander zu erleben, macht die Stadt erst richtig verständlich. Herzlichen Dank!
Todo muy bien y buenos guías. Lugares bellos. Mucho colorido. Buena experiencia que recomendaría. Muchas gracias
Response from Host, Sep 2026
El color de Lisboa sorprende a mucha gente, sobre todo en los barrios que quedan fuera de las rutas habituales. Nuestros guías eligen esos sitios con cuidado. Gracias por la recomendación.
C'est amusant et très intéressant.
Nous avons démarré notre séjour par un tour dans la partie historique de Lisbonne.
Le chauffeur parlait français et s'est adapté à l'enfant de 10 ans.
Quelques arrêts dans des endroits typiques.
Cela nous a donné une bonne vue de la ville et nous sommes revenus dans les sites qui nous avaient le plus intéressés.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Monique, s'adapter à un enfant de dix ans tout en gardant l'histoire intéressante pour les adultes, c'est un vrai savoir-faire. Ravis que ce tour vous ait donné envie de revenir sur place.
Tour Guide war sehr freundlich und hat sich Mühe gegeben. Auf diese Weise haben wir vieles von der Stadt gesehen.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tuk Tuk Tour gefallen hat und Sie auf diese Weise viele schöne Orte der Stadt entdecken konnten. Unser Team freut sich sehr über Ihr positives Feedback. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in Lissabon begrüßen zu dürfen!
