Great tour! Saw streets in Lisbon that would not have been able to see in a short period of time. Our guide Luis was very informative and gave us advice on dinning options. He was great!
My group of 3 had a very enjoyable tuk tuk tour with Xavi. He is extremely knowledgeable of Lisbon and the history of Portugal. He took us to see some amazing views of the city and pointed us in the right direction to end our ride with an independent shopping experience.
Paulo was amazing! Had a great time, Paulo is very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!! We did the 4 hr and never had a boring moment
It’s a very basic tour of a few neighborhoods and sights. Limited free time, sights are independent. Sort of like an on off bus.
Excellent way to see the old town and viewpoints. Guide was very helpful We would never have walked up and down all the steep hills of the old town.
Quite bumpy due to roads but guide had incredible knowledge about Lisbon and Portugal history. Very attentive too
Fun and informative, Daniel was an excellent driver and tour guide. Highly recommended for first time visitors to Lisbon
We had a fantastic tuk tuk tour of Lisbon with Carlos! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. It was a great way to see so much of the city in a short amount of time, and we learned a lot along the way. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon!
We loved our 2 hr tour with Rita! She was a wealth of knowledge and made great recommendations. Highly recommend this tour!
We had a great time at this city tour. Thanks to Daniel we got lots of new information about the city. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even helped us to find other places and directions.
Best way to see the city. Javi was a great tour guide, very informative and friendly. Thorough enjoyed it.
Thiago was an excellent tour guide! He was attentive, knowledgeable, and did a great job keeping the day organized. He shared interesting information at each stop, answered all of our questions, and was happy to offer recommendations along the way. The tour was well paced and never felt rushed. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Thiago as your guide!
Lucas was an amazing tour guide. We had a great time. he took us to all of the historic and scenic sites and even stopped to take pictures of our family and very knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon.
Hugo was amazing very informative and professional. Highly recommend tour if your pressed for time or want a simple and precise tour of the city.
It a good overview of city but not as in-depth as I had expected. I would recommend 3 hour tour rather than 2 be prepared for some bumpy hills😎
We had wonderful guides . Phillip and Maria
They were very knowledgable and adjusted the schedule to our needs. We were a Family of 9
This was an amazing tour. Marta, our tour guide was fantastic. She was a great driver, very knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. If you book this tour, you should request Marta. It was a great way to see the city.
This was an okay way to see Lisbon but it was hard to see out past the overhead cover of the tuk tuk and our guide didn't give us as much information as we expected about stops and the city. We did get to stop in Belem which we enjoyed.
Good tour of the city…but compared to other tours for the money paid, I don’t think the value was there. The driver was great and very personable but it was more of a “what do you want to see” type vs. “here’s where I’m taking you”. We also had 2 elderly but healthy people and the Tuk-Tuk was difficult for them to get in and out of. If I had to do it over, there are so many on any street in Lisbon, I would have found one that better suited our needs with a driver using a microphone. My parents (80-year olds) had a difficult time hearing the guide.

Darlene, we're glad your driver was personable, but we're sorry the overall value and format of the tour did not meet your expectations. Your comments about getting in and out of the tuk tuk, hearing the guide, and wanting a more structured route are clear, and we've shared them with our operations team. Thank you for choosing Boost Portugal for your tuk tuk ride in Lisbon, and we would appreciate the chance to give you a better experience in the future.
Very invigorating! But relaxing at the same time!
Such an awesome way to tour and learn about Lisbon. Our tour guide was friendly & knowledgeable, making our tour positively memorable.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Hal, “invigorating and relaxing at the same time” is a pretty good description of discovering Lisbon by tuk tuk. We’re glad your guide’s friendly, knowledgeable approach made the experience so memorable while giving you plenty to learn along the way. Thanks for choosing Boost Portugal for your eco tuk tuk tour.
It’s fun and relaxed, good way to see the city.
Hugo Lima was our driver, Hugo took us to all the viewpoints around the city, he took our pics and was really knowledgeable and funny. A great experience!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Laura, Hugo Lima clearly knew where to take you for the views, and it’s great that he also made the ride relaxed, funny, and easy to enjoy. Stopping at Lisbon viewpoints for photos is one of the best parts of exploring the city this way. Thank you for riding with Boost Portugal and for giving Hugo such a great mention.
Our guide, Arthur, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The tuk tuk tour is a great introduction to the city of Lisbon, ideal for first-time visitors. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Audrey, Arthur will be very happy to hear that his knowledge made your first introduction to Lisbon such a strong one. A Lisbon tuk tuk tour is especially useful for first-time visitors who want to understand the city before exploring more on foot. Thank you for recommending Arthur and Boost Portugal.
We booked a 3 hour Tuk Tuk with Boost Portugal and Will was our driver. It was a great experience. We got an overview of the city with enough time at stops to explore. Will was very thoughtful in pointing out great places to shop and eat as well as a great overview of the history of Lisbon. We would highly recommend him.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Will seems to have struck a great balance between giving you a broad look at Lisbon and leaving enough time to explore the stops that interested you. His tips on places to eat and shop are a nice bonus on a 3 hour tuk tuk tour, especially when they come alongside the city’s history. Thank you for choosing Boost Portugal and for recommending Will so highly.
Two hours is plenty to see highlights in Lisbon. The ride a bit bumpy, but it is a fun way to see a lot of the city. It’s not possible to walk the entire city, as it is too large. Our guide and driver was great!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Laurie, we’re glad your 2 hour tuk tuk tour gave you an easy way to cover so many Lisbon highlights without having to walk the entire city. We also appreciate your note about the bumpy ride, as Lisbon’s older streets can certainly make themselves felt. Thanks for exploring with Boost Portugal, and we hope you took home plenty of good memories from the city.
Joao provided us a great tour of Lisbon. He was very knowledgeable of the city and knew what spots were of interest to us. I definitely recommend Joao for your tour guide.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We're so pleased João was able to tailor the tour to the places that interested you most. His local knowledge is one of the things that makes every Lisbon tuk tuk tour a little different, and we'll be sure to share your recommendation with him. Thank you for riding with Boost Portugal, and we hope to see you again on your next trip to Lisbon.
Great tour that takes you to all parts of Lisbon in an efficient manner, many parts we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.
Our guide Daniel was friendly and informative, and was a pleasure to spend 4 hours with!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you, Deepa, for your wonderful review. We're so pleased Daniel made those four hours enjoyable and helped you discover parts of the city you might have otherwise missed on your Lisbon tuk tuk tour. Exploring beyond the usual routes is something our local guides love to share. We hope to see you again at Boost Portugal on your next visit to Lisbon.
Great, fun. Xavi provided good historical information. Went to the important sites. Provided advice of places to eat and local dishes
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Xavi will be happy to know his recommendations stayed with you as much as the history he shared. Good local food is a big part of getting to know Lisbon, so we're glad his tips helped round out your day. Thanks for exploring the city with Boost Portugal, and we hope you found a few new favorite spots along the way.
Joao was so great. We loved listening to all the historical facts about Lisbon and Portugal. He’s an amazing young man and so personable and kind.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
João will be so happy to hear your kind words. We're delighted you enjoyed learning about the history of Lisbon and Portugal, and that his warm and personal approach made the experience even more memorable. Thank you for choosing Boost Portugal, and we hope to see you again for another tuk tuk tour in Lisbon.
Excellent way to explore Lisbon and all it has to offer. Gabi was beyond exceptional. She
expertly navigated us to many landmarks while showing us some not so obvious points of interest. Seriously, one of the most personable and knowledgeable guides we have ever encountered.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, James_P. We're so pleased Gabi made your introduction to Lisbon such a memorable one. It's wonderful to hear she combined the city's famous landmarks with lesser known spots, giving you a deeper look at what makes Lisbon special through her knowledge and warm personality. Thank you for choosing Boost Portugal, and we hope to welcome you back for another Lisbon tuk tuk tour on your next visit.
In our 3 hours our guide shared the history of Lisbon and gave us a taste of this very interesting city!
