Francisco was such an amazing tour guide! We learned so much on our trip down the Tagus River on a beautiful day. Francisco takes genuine care in showing monuments, recommending non-touristy restaurants, and making you feel at home on the boat. My boyfriend and I were fortunate enough that it was just us on the boat with Francisco and his helmsman, making for an intimate and personal experience. This also speaks to how much Francisco cares about showing people around the area, as he could have easily canceled since we were the only booking for that time that day. We were also able to book same day a few hours before!
After booking, Francisco called me to ask if I could come earlier because of predicted heavy winds later in the evening. He was very accommodating and allowed us to come at a time that he does not usually schedule tours so that we could have the best experience! The helmsman was also very skilled as on our way back the waves looked choppy, but we did not feel it nor were we splashed at all on the boat.
Overall, this was a highlight of our stay in Lisbon and we would recommend to any and all who want a genuine Portuguese experience and to gain a new perspective of Lisbon and the surrounding areas!

Lovely relaxing evening on the water. It was a bit windy that day but if you have the time, it’s a great tour to see a different perspective of the monuments along the Tagus. Very friendly and informative guide and skipper was helpful. Highly recommended

The boat tour was a great way to get a different perspective of the city from the water. Francisco provided a great overview of the city and the boat was nice and definitely refreshing as it was very hot in the city that day! Thanks for a nice time out on the water!

We had an amazing experience in Lisbon with the sunset and sightseeing tour with Francisco! 🌇⛵
It was so much more than just a boat ride — Francisco shared the history of Portugal with us in such a fun, meaningful, and passionate way. You can tell he truly loves what he does and deeply values Portuguese culture.
The combination of the beautiful sunset views and the local stories made the whole experience unforgettable. 🧡
We highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something authentic, traditional, and local while visiting Lisbon.
Thank you, Francisco, for such a memorable time!
Tivemos uma experiência maravilhosa em Lisboa com o passeio de sunset e sightseeing com o Francisco! 🌇⛵
Foi muito mais do que um simples passeio — Francisco compartilhou conosco a história de Portugal de forma leve, interessante e cheia de paixão. Dá pra ver que ele realmente ama o que faz e tem um conhecimento profundo da cultura portuguesa.
A combinação da vista ao pôr do sol com as histórias locais fez tudo ser ainda mais especial. 🧡
Super recomendamos para quem está buscando uma experiência tradicional, local e autêntica em Lisboa. Obrigada, Francisco, por nos proporcionar um momento inesquecível!

Very enjoyable and lovely tour. Francisco did a really great job of giving us a deep and thorough history of Lisbon and the sights, as well as being very accommodating with our start time which was difficult to coordinate with coming back from Sintra on the same day. Would definitely recommend!

This is a must do activity which provides a fantastic overview of important and interesting sites along the waterfront and beyond. Skipper Francisco is extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon’s history and is a wonderful storyteller. He and Vasco make a great team! My husband and I both loved the tour and being out on the water. We highly recommend this adventure to fellow travelers!

They are knowledgeable about the history of the City but with a lot of fun.

Great couple—both are authentic and knowledgeable. The small, colorful boat was perfect for our group of eight. The captain obviously enjoyed showing us the sights, and his wife was an excellent tour guide.

Wooden boat on the Tagus was a great experience! As the tour is in a small, it feels personalised and Rita and Francisco did a great job of sharing the history of each monument.

Dit was echt het hoogtepunt van onze stedentrip Lissabon! Wat een prachtige beleving op een geweldige, originele, kleine boot met een bevlogen gids en een zichtbaar genietende schipper. Met de fado op de achtergrond in het zachte avondlicht genieten van de rivier en t landschap. Een.unieke ervaring!
