A lovely way to spend some quiet time on the river. Amazing views of Lisbon and Belem area from the river gives a different perspective. Staff were friendly and no guide but you can have your own guide on your phone from a QR code.

Nice chill way to site see for a slower paced day. Easy to book and inexpensive option. Right on schedule and comfortable seating.

No one showed up at meeting point and never responded to messages, we were looking forward to this and are very disappointed
MariaM_T, Apr 2026
They canceled and rescheduled later but the new time did not suit our schedule and ended not going. The person in the counter was nice to help us get our refund. I did not like that I didn’t received any communication regarding the change until after arriving to the meeting point. I cannot rate the activity itself just the interaction.

The boat was really good, we got the 5:30pm in April only a few of us on boat so kinda had it for ourselves. The ride was lil choppy but smooth afterwards and quiet. The sailor announced dolphins in sea. Saw a glimpse of them. Such an amazing treat. Boat was clean and relaxing throughly enjoyed it despite it being a lil boring. It was chill.

There was no explanations of landmarks. No commentary at all. No historic context. We would’ve expected that there would be some information given. Very disappointing,

Good trip down the river to allow us to see a different perspective of some of the sights. It does get a bit “nippy” so glad I had a jacket with me. Would recommend

The ride on the water was wonderful. The tour information was 100% self guided on their website instead of a guide.

It is Only a boat ride, there is no guide.
You scan a QC code about the sites. The boat is a large boat.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
We would like to clarify that we do provide an audio guide experience. There are QR codes available throughout the boat that guests can scan to access our audio guide in multiple languages, with information about the sites along the route.

Nice trip.
Better in the afternoon to see the sunset .
The boat has both covered and uncovered seating
So you can have the trip also in raining/cold days …

Cruise was nice and windy, only 1 or 2 other families with us, captain was nice and friendly and there was also a bar with alcohol and soft drinks. Went to different places around Lisbon and we saw the Christ The King Statue. Cruise ride was about an hour long. Overall a very sweet and nice ride. Definitely recommend the cruise with friends and family

Boat ride was great. The weather was not cooperating with drizzle and fog, but you could still see the Belem tower and monuments.

Not what we were expecting no guide we logged on to qr code and thought we had got guide which last all of 5 mins so just sàt on boat with no guide not knowing what we were looking at. Plus mess up with tickets they change times twice and then code I had won't scan

I liked this boat ride it was nice and long with food and drinks. As a solo traveler I enjoyed not having commentary. But if you want a guided boat tour I would not recommend this. If you want a boat tour where you can chat with family and friends while drinking a beverage this is for you.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, food, and drinks. We appreciate your note about the lack of commentary, it’s perfect for those who want a more social and leisurely experience.

It was a very good unassuming ride through the Tagus. It drove past all of the major landmarks and was very relaxing. It was a quiet ride so if you're looking to know the different landmarks this is not what you're looking for. There is a bar with drinks you can buy. If you're looking to relax on a short cruise and just hang out with family and friends while taking in the sights this is perfect.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed a relaxing ride along the Tagus and the views of the major landmarks. We appreciate your note that this experience is perfect for those looking to unwind and enjoy time with family and friends.

Boat was nothing more than a moving tour of the Lisbon coast. Absolutely no explanation of what anything was or what we were seeing. No interaction from crew except to sell drinks.
