We had an amazing tour. Miguel was very friendly and very knowledgable about history, architecture, etc. We had a really good time. Door-to -door pickup was a hit with our kids LOL

Our tour guide Tanya was the best tour guide for getting acclimated to Lisbon. She even gave us additional advise as where to places to shop and eat. I highly recommend this tour for first travelers to Lisbon.

Carolina is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, and generous in sharing her cultural and historical knowledge of Lisbon, the city she calls home. My son & I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and appreciated her dedication and kindness.. We highly recommend Lisbon Small Group Tour.
Troy_M, Jul 2022
Carolina was an awesome tour guide, very informative. We started near Carmo and the Santa Justa lift, and learned a lot about the history in the area. Then we got to cross the 25th of April bridge to see the statue of Christ, which was fascinating! But my favorite part was going to Belèm after than for the best Pastel de Nata I’ve had. The tower and monument are cool too! I highly recommend this tour.
Donald_S, Jun 2022

This was an amazing and comprehensive insight into Lisbon and Portugal's history. Our guide, Tania, was charming, intelligent, knowledgeable and great fun. Her enthusiasm and historical knowledge meant that we really began to understand Portugal and Lisbon. I believe she went beyond what would normally be expected of a guide to give us a memorable six hours. I would highly recommend this tour it is worth every Euro of the cost

By far one of the best tours we ever had!
We had the chance to be the only couple to this tour with our wonderful guide Rita!
We had an unforgettable « private » tour experience to discover the wonders of Lisbon with such a nice, energetic and full of knowledge guide and to taste the so delicious and famous pasteis de Belem ( included in the tour price!)
Thank you do much Rita for such a wonderful experience of Lisbon with you!!!

Thank you so much, David!! Lisbon is a wonderful city and the Pastéis de Belém are, indeed, one of its main highlights. Your feedback is surely meaningful for Rita, and we hope to welcome you back someday. All the best, Nuno

We were very lucky to end up getting basically a private tour for our group. Our tour guide Carolina was absolutely delightful! She was knowledgeable, accommodating, incredibly warm and friendly, and seeing the city with her felt like visiting a dear friend! Wonderful tour gave an overview of the city and made for many opportunities of lovely panoramas.

The guide was excellent and did everything to show us the best in schedule, his knowledge is incredible. About tour itself - some more time to walk in Alfama district would be nice.
Gailport, Sep 2019
Tanya , our tour guide, spoke excellent English and was enthusiastic and clear in her explanations. She did not rush us from place to place. She took us to Belém, Jerónimos Monastery, best viewpoints of Lisbon on both sides of the Tagus River, The Explorers Monument, and the Christ the King Sanctuary. We did not just drive around but got out of the van and Tanya explained the history and meaning of the place we were visiting. Tanya was engaging, knowledgeable, and certainly held our interest. We learned a lot and left wanting to delve deeper into some of topics and people who were important in Portugal’s history. This tour really enhanced our visit to Lisbon and gave us a real sense of this interesting city.
Evmsu1, Sep 2019
My tour guide was very knowledgeable and conducted a great tour. We got to see a lot of the city in a short period of time. I definitely recommend it.
Hodith_H, Aug 2019
Excellent tour in Lisbon, very comprehensive and a great introduction to the main attractions of the city. Carolina our guide is a genuinely nice and direct person, very knowledgeable and a really good driver in the hard roads of Lisbon. I strongly recommend this tour: meeting point was easy to locate and really small group (max. 8 pax).
Ina_I, Aug 2019

Tonya did a great job. She was very knowledgeable and enhanced my understanding of the history of both Lisbon and Portugal.. She was also able to go with the flow when two different individuals were late arriving due to unforeseen issues. Kept us on course and we had a wonderful tour of Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Would definitely use their tour services again
Catherine G, Jul 2019
Tour Guide and Driver were both accommodating and knowledgeable about Lisbon. Lisbon Riders is one the best tour agency.
REBECCA_E, Jul 2019
We were fortunate enough to have an amazing guide, Nuno, and driver/assistant, Carolina. They were both extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. Additionally, they were both flexible and focused on making our experience very positive. We were a family with 2 teenagers and everyone was very happy.
Jeffrey_C, Jun 2019
Manuel was a comprehensive professional and extremely knowledgable and engaging. He was polite and the best tour operator we have had. He made Lisbon a memorable experience.
Carrie D, Oct 2018
This tour, under the expertise of our driver and guide, Tania was one of the best we've ever taken. She explained history, culture, architecture all while expertly navigating and parking the van. Seeing the highlights of a city in only four hours would be difficult for even the best. Tania managed to give us a complete overview, plus squeeze in a trip to the famous Belem pastry shop for pastry and espresso.
