You are guided around the city. On a highlights tour of the city. Well organized. We would definitely recommend.

Our guide NuNu was amazing. Very proud of his Portuguese culture and extremely animated. He went over the tour time, but it seemed like the time went so fast. A pleasure spending the day with him.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks, Christine!
Nuno is a true enthusiast! His energy and funniness are contagious! We love to have him with us.
Lisbon is filled with History everywhere. We hope the tour was a good overview for your stay, and that you learned our History in a relaxed but enriching way!
You're welcome back anytime!!!

If they’re looking to discover Lisbon in a day, start here!
Tiago was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient and thorough. Warm and friendly, he took us around Lisbon with excitement in his heart.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi, Margarida!
Thanks for the feedback!
That's exactly what we want with this tour: to give a great overview of the city in just one day.
Of course, some attractions might deserve a second visit on your own, but this tour will provide the essentials for planning the rest of your stay (and show you the layout of the city).
Tiago...Tiago is a charming person, an amazing guide and a good friend! We're so glad to have him with us.
Hope to see you back!

Disappointed as Nuno stopped in so many unwanted location just to show the city from top from 5 points. Gave very less time to see the Lisbon Cathedral properly but kind enough to show the St. Anthony's birth place. Very abrupt explanation. All places are unworthy to stop. Especially an altar with piece of bricks and water popping out from it. So ugly structure. The second last stop was so worthless that it was fill with weed seller, junkies and so much suspicious activity going on. He should understand he cant make tourist stop at such risky place. Very much time wasted. Nuno took us to some meaningless flea market which actually is a garage item sells, second hand used products. Just because Nuno wants to smoke frequently he makes us stopped wherever he wanted like garage sell market and some high location full of addicted people around.
Small suggestion to make this trip meaningful please let's tourist enjoy the Castle and Cathidral. Else its just a bumpy ride with meaningless sightseeing. One should book big bus or city sightseeing for more worthy time spend and awareness about Lisbon. Nuno was so incompetent that he doesn't know the famous CM symbol of great modern theater is actually from the Antonio's castle from Sintra near Pena palace. When I asked this CM or MC symbol from the Antonio's house where you can find the swirling/round staircase and his family built this (as I came to know this from my previous days trip with some different Trip company and the guide was very knowledgeable unlike Nuno). But Nuno said he cant have all information about everything of Lisbon eminent places . Which seems he is not at all a well aware tour guide. Very disappointed

Dear Vaibhavi:
We're sad you had a less positive experience in out Lisbon tour.
Regarding the stops, this tour is designed to show you some of the best views over Lisbon. It's even called (in our website) Lisbon View. We're sorry that some areas were populated by less positive locals, but we can assure you were never in any kind of danger.
The Flea Market is usually a very nice stop for most people. It's much more than a simple garage sale.
However, we understand that some persons may like it less. It's a matter of cultural differences and preferences. It is part of our tour on Tuesdays and Saturdays, tough, and we'll continue to stop for a quick visit and look around.
During the day, Nuno explained the history of Lisbon from Antiquity to Modern Ages. It's hard to share more.
As for the CM or MC symbol in Trindade Theatre you refer, I'm sorry to tell you that it has no relation whatsoever with Regaleira (Antonio's House). It's just a basic, meaningless monogram of the theatre from 1925.
Nuno didn't had to know that while driving and hardly taking a good look at it.
Maybe it was that other guide that misled you. It is good not to confuse things in History.
As for the Cathedral, the stop there was long enough to visit St. Anthony's church too, which isn't part of the tour. Unfortunately, we can't spend much time in every stop, as this is a tour for an overview of the city, showing you all the main attractions, which you can then visit on your own in more details later, having the context already.
Anyway, we're deeply sorry you're disappointed.
Maybe big buses are the best option for some people. This is an intimate, small group tour that we intend to be a great introduction to the city and its History.

This tour was okay, but not as good as some of the others we did during our trip. There is a lot of driving past places or quickly stopping with no entry included. And there was surprisingly little history shared for a history tour. Definitely felt less organized than some of the other tours we have completed.

Dear James:
Thanks so much for your words.
We always try to select people for their personality before all other things. You can teach History, but not politeness and friendliness. :)
Glad you had a good time with us!
Claire_P, Feb 2026
Really good tour which I thoroughly enjoyed. Nuno was a great tour guide and has a vast knowledge of the history of Lisbon.
Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thanks, Claire!
The purpose of this tour is to provide with a chronological historical context (while visiting the main attractions and the best views of the city).
We're happy it worked fine for your group! :)
See you back soon!

Our travel guide, Nuno was outstanding!!!
So informative and super kind; he was an added asset to the experience.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thanks for taking the time to review our tour.
Nuno is a great person and a natural of Lisbon. He's the perfect guide for seeing all the major attractions of Lisbon and navigate the streets, avoid tuk-tuk chaos and show the best spots with no hassle.
We're glad we could deliver!
Hope to see you soon again!

Driving through very narrow, twisting Lisbon streets was an experience I will soon not forget. Our driver was more than a little reckless. His style was going as fast as possible and then slamming on his brakes when needed. One of the other woman in the tour had to switch seats because she was getting carsick within the first 5 minutes. At one point he was going so fast that when he slammed on the brakes due to someone cutting in front of him, I went flying off my seat and slammed into the back of the driver's seat. If this is the "normal" way Lisbonites drive, I will never do that again. I had to hang on for dear life the entire day while he was driving.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thanks for your feedback!
We know that Lisbon's streets can be scary for some. It's an ancient city and some areas go back for centuries, when only donkeys and horses would use them.
However, all our guides are locals and know the area, and are very used to drive in the city.
Of course, sometimes unpredictable pedestrians or drivers can scare you a little, and that's why we encourage you to always use your seatbelt.
We can assure you, your life was never at risk! You were in good hands!

Paulo was VERY experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. An absolute miracle driver thru old town! Highly recommend.
