No buses to catch

Deborah_H, Apr 2026

There are no people to talk to when the bus doesn’t show. We waited for more than an hour and no bus because it was a holiday in Lisbon. We booked with another tour and saw some yellow buses in another area so they were doing some stops. I tried emailing and no response. Only book with them if you are able to be very flexible.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We apologize for any inconvenience our service may have caused you and, if you wish, we are available to analyze the situation together with you, just send us an email to yellowbus@carris.pt.

Purchasing the two...

Timothy_W, Apr 2026

Purchasing the two consecutive day pass eased the rush to sit on a bus for about four hours (two 2-hour routes). Two issues came up during our recent usage: 1. The audio narration on the Modern Lisbon route was inconsistent, being off for several minutes which resulted in many long periods of time looking at buildings with no knowledge of the story. 2. Day 2 was effected by a driver strike which reduced the desired times. Thankfully the strike was settled and service returned in late afternoon. The downside was two hours availability instead of nine hours. There was no offer for refund or credit due to the drivers strike.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Customer, Thank you for your contact. It is very rewarding for us to know our customers are satisfied! We work on daily basis so that our customers feel welcome and have an amazing experience with Yellow Bus tours.

Take the Big Red Bus instead!

michael_s, Apr 2026

The English narration was awful, hardly any facts and mostly music. Two lines, buses came always late and missed stops. Overall can’t advise. Stick with the Big Red Bus, least you know what you’re getting with an international company!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Yellow bus

Marian_P, Aug 2025

The yellow bus would not accept our tickets as they were bought on your site through the Internet. I use a wheelchair so had to use a taxi at the cruise terminal to get into the city

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Waste of money

sigentry, May 2025

Went to get on the bus and there were 200 people standing in line. Once that one filled, they told us the next bus would not be for another hour, even though their advertisement says every 30 minutes. Complete scam.

Sweta_S, Mar 2025

The frequency is only every 30 minutes. The other lines have more buses. The first stop was very hard to find through the app. Once you are on, the information on bus and the route was nice.

Lisbon HOHO

EiYeeMarina_S, Nov 2024

HOHO bus was very comfortable but none of the headphones worked. Tram 28 is in repaired so we took the bus 28. Overall, we got to see all the attractions.

Terrible customer service

NoorAllah_M, Aug 2024

We came off a cruise ship. We couldn’t find the bus stop and nobody that we asked knew where it would be. I tried contacting customer support, but could not reach them. Sent a message and did not hear back from them. Had to purchase another ticket with another company to do our sightseeing. Absolutely horrible customer service!

Waste of time

Joyce, May 2024

Big waste of time. Bus and driver had issues. Waited an hour for next bus etc We were not provided with information while waiting

Nice to have a feel for the city

Jessica_R, May 2024

It’s a great way to have a feel for the city and the different places that you can visit with a bit of historical background.

Couldn’t use my tickets

Zandra_M, Mar 2024

I arrive on the afternoon of the 28th of March and it was raining and they close the buses. Since my ticket was for 48 hours next day I went to use it and the code on the app was gone and without it they couldn’t helped me. I asked for a refund since I couldn’t use it hopefully they will refund me. I trust Viator because I have been using them for years with no complaints.

Porto yellow bus :(

Jim_B, Oct 2023

Well, we knew in advance it wasn’t going to be great. We tried the historical tour today, lived up 30 minutes before scheduled to leave at stop 1. Many people waiting in line where other yellow bus took off. About 15 minutes late so not too bad but bus pulled up down the street and everybody started running. 6 of us elderly and no room for us so have to wait another hour. We decided to have early lunch then bus it. Went back, still 15 minutes late but we got on and on top. 1 box broken to listen to tour so we shared 1. Tons of construction and stuck in hot sun for long time. Nothing too interesting and hoping castle tour tomorrow is better. We always do these tours in every city and this ranks near the bottom. Lisbon city tour was bad as well. All busses do about same route and others seemed less crowded. Enjoy!

Not bad.

Gennylyn_M, Jul 2023

The Yellow bus both Blue and Purple line was a little uncomfortable because of poor air circulation, no aircon . Also when we were on the purple line going to Modern Lisbon- the audio was defective. However, this is a good way to tour around city especially when you have small kids.

No experience! No bus came

Shari_B, Jun 2023

We were so,d our tickets prior to our trip and when we got to the stop we were informed that because it was a National holiday, buses were for the most part not running. I am sure that the bus company and Viator knew well in advance that this was a holiday, but the sold us worthless tickets anyhow. Because of this snafu we did not get to see Lisbon as we were leaving the next day.

Exploring Lisboa

MissC_W, May 2023

The bus is a good way to get your bearings and you wouldn't need more than 24 hrs. I think the Lisboa card is a better option.

Missed out seeing Lisbon

Deactivated, May 2023

We bought tickets for May 2nd and we’re told the bus would be T our point at 10:00 am. We were not made aware that this was a National holiday nor informed that buses would be on a different schedule. We were at the spot at 10:00 am and the bus did not arrive. We, along with a number of people waited, but at 12:15 pm we finally left. On the way back to our hotel at 2:15 (14:15) we saw the bus pass by our point , but were to overheated by then to go back and wait another half hour, at a minimum.

Compared to other hop on hop off buses in other cities, this wasn’t impressive. Not interesting and really not informative. The bus driver was friendly and did a great job

Time saver experience

Deisy_P, Mar 2023

Clean buses, excellent attraction coverage, helpful crew. Best way to cover most see places in little time Was looking for “yellow kiosks” but it is really a small post sign.

A new way to enjoy vacation.

Erasmo_R, Mar 2023

We were able to see other parts of lisbon that was not included in our private tour of lisbon. The bus driver was really nice and helpful.

Lisbon experience

Great experience on hop on hop off. Bus was on time around 30 minutes. City is amazing and affordable.

Good choice to see the main site’s

Good value for your money, not only the bus but you also get to ride the tram 28 at no additional cost.

Covers a lot of ground

Nancy_S, Oct 2022

Starting at Praca do Figueira for both routes, you are able to see lots of Lisbon. As long as you get a good connection, the commentary is good. Just be aware that the schedule can be affected by traffic.

Worst Experience Ever

dwain_L, Aug 2022

Worst experience ever, I had to find where to validate my tickets in Lisbon. After a 24 hrs delay of the confirmation email, was never issued a refund. The viator operator was very unprofessional, my family spent almost $600 in tickets for various trips on viator. Do not waste your money, there are many bus rides, this company is not helpful and it is a complete cluster finding what bus your pass is valid on.
