Very friendly and knowledgable guide and he knows his way around the city so does not waste time between stops. Also he let us stop where we wanted to and took us to a place not on the tour

Worst service ever

Caterina_L, Jun 2026
The worst experience ever. I booked it and I was in Lisbon only this afternoon and I kindly asked the service provider to be transparent . He lied for two hours , first he said the guide tour came and it was not true, than the police stopped him and again another lie. Third the guide tour called and cancelled and the service provider did not reply . If it was not possible he should have been honest . This is also because I am a woman and he discriminated my gender. I have been waiting two hours in front the hotel and none came to pick me up . Things happened but the service provider handled the service in the worst way to steal the money .

Lisbon tour

James_A, May 2026
Enjoyed seeing Lisbon and it beauty. The only negative was the accent of the driver. He was great but hard to understand at times

Loved our tour and driver!

Lisa_T, May 2026
Driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He was accommodating with our schedule. Thank you.

Tuk Tuk tour

AllisonMacdonald, Dec 2025
Great way to get an overview of the city. We covered all of the bases. Today we will go back to some of our favorite spots to dig in.

Great experience

Christopher_P, Oct 2025
Guide was great. Very knowledgable about history of Portugal. Wife and I only had limited time - our guide made sure we got the most out of it and got us back to our hotel on time for an airport transfer.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Nice intro to Lisbon

Martin_H, Sep 2025
Arrived on time to pick us up at our hotel. Tuk Tuk was a fun way to see Lisbon but canopy top obscured vision. It was hard to hear and underhand the driver while moving. Covered much of the city. Fun afternoon

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the tuk tuk ride and seeing much of Lisbon. Sorry to hear the canopy and noise made it harder to hear the driver—appreciate you sharing this!

Lisbon by tuk tuk

Manuel_M, Aug 2025
Joe, our tour guide was very friendly and informative. The trip went by so quickly and we enjoyed the Tuk Tuk.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks for your feedback! Glad Joe made the trip enjoyable and informative, and that you had fun on the Tuk Tuk.

Needs Improvement

Jeanne_S, Jul 2025
This tour started with our tour guide showing up over 10 minutes late. He spoke perfect English and was friendly but he gave us the bare minimum information about city monuments. No history of Lisbon, no history of obvious things like the city clearly added land to coast. He also didn't have a headset so the few times he spoke it was difficult to hear. If you take this type of tour, make sure they have a PA and preferably someone who grew up in the area and has passion for city.

Not for our liking

Jeralyn_S, Jul 2025
The guide tried very hard, but was very difficult to understand. The roads were way too bumpy for our aging bodies and it seemed we went over the same areas again and again.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the guide gave it their best and appreciate your comments on the route and ride comfort. Your input helps us fine-tune the experience for different needs.

Good overview of Lisbon

Paul_T, Jul 2025
Great overview of the city. Perfect pace. Good stops . We enjoyed the guide and his driving skills in this busy town

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the city tour and the guide’s pacing and driving. It’s great to hear you had a positive experience navigating the busy streets!

Update maps

Michael_F, Jun 2025
Make sure you get the right information we got an old map and had to make numerous phone calls to locate driver

Response from Host, Jun 2025

It seems this review isn’t for a booking made through us, as we don’t offer the “Lisbon Private 3 hours tour.” Thanks for understanding!

Different Way To See Lisbon

jonimc, Jun 2025
The company was very accommodating in switching days due to an earlier ship departure. I had a nice driver who gave some information about what I was seeing but thought it would be a bit more than a drive around. Appreciated the stop to get a delicious custard tart.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad we could accommodate the date change and that you enjoyed the ride and the custard tart. Sorry it wasn’t quite what you expected; your input helps us improve!

Very enjoyable tour with a great guide !

Daniel_O, Dec 2024
Our guide Shams was great from the off. Contacted us well before the tour to advise where and when he would collect us. Stopped at all the best places in the city and explained everything to us along the way. Very pleasant chap who was so willing to make sure we got the most from the experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Daniel, Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We're delighted to hear that Shams made such a positive impression on your tour. It’s great to know that he kept in touch ahead of time and ensured you visited the best spots in the city while sharing his knowledge along the way. We truly appreciate your kind words and are glad you had such an enjoyable experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another tour in the future! Best regards, City Lisbon Tours

We only had one day in...

Rina_C, Sep 2024
We only had one day in Lisbon so we needed a tour that would cover as much of the city as possible. This tour was perfect! We went through ever section of the city and more. Our guide was courteous, knowledgeable and interesting and gave us extra time in order to cover everything he thought we should see. It was a wonderful experience.

C-

peter_c, Sep 2024
Right after booking tour, which was last minute, we were notified that they would be 1.25 hour late, tour booked was 3.25 hours. We got 2.25 hours Tour guide drove us around pointed out various sites. Encouraged us to go look, while he sat in tuktuk. We done a similar tour a few years back, the guide along walked with us to site, and explained the history/ background. This tour was disappointing, we would jave gotten more out of the hop on hop off bus, for alot less money

Very hard to understand driver

James_S, Aug 2024
The guide was very friendly and tried to do his best. Unfortunately his English was not very good and the road noise in combination made it impossible to understand most of what he said. He also received many phone calls during the trip. FYI a Turk Turk is VERY bumpy in Lisbon; not at all pleasant

Quick Tour

Sahar_B, Aug 2024
All in all and average experience because of the limited knowledge our guide had. With a guide more knowledgeable, this could have been a whole different experience. This tour is a great option for those looking for a quick tour of sites as opposed to figuring it out on their own. would recommend, however, would ask the tour operator to make sure all the guides on duty are more engaged and knowledgeable in terms of sight information, engagement with folks on tour and history about the said sights.

Lisbon Tuk Tuk Tour

SKobi_F, Aug 2024
We had a tremendous tour with Rana on the Tuk Tuk. He was able to show us the cool hidden gems of the city that we would definitely have come across if we were just walking around the town. He gave us plenty of time to explore the different areas in Lisbon. I highly recommend this tour with Rana.

Great experience

Greig_M, Aug 2024
Great experience on the tuk tuk. We went for the 3 hour tour and saw all the main sights of Lisbon. Rana was very knowledgeable about Lisbon which really made it fun and interesting. Would highly recommend 👌

Thank you, Rana.

Michael_W, Jul 2024
Rana was our tour guide for three hours and did an excellent job. Rana's knowledge of Lisbon was impressive and he knew all the best spots for some photos, which he offered to take sometimes. Given how tough and unrelenting this job can be, we were grateful for Rana's enthusiasm and effort to make the experience enjoyable. From Michael and Immy.

Great day in Lisboa

Lee_G, Jun 2024
This was such a great experience. Rana, our guide picked us up at our hotel and gave us a thorough tour of the city. Rana was able to give us much of the history of Lisboa as we saw the different sights. He has such a great sense of humor and kept us laughing the entire time. At the end of the tour we were dropped off at the Mercado da Ribeira market where we could grab lunch and enjoy more Ginjinha. Rana also gave us tips for other squares to visit on our walk back to the hotel.

We highly recommend this tour!

Karin_O, Jun 2024
Great tourguide, very Friendly, speaks English fluently and takes great pictures! We highly recommend this tour as it is a good way to explore the city.

Tuk Tuk tour of Lisbon

Lisa_B, May 2024
Rana worked very hard to show us the highlights of Lisboa. A little difficult to understand his English but would recommend the tour.

Very good

SILVIA_G, May 2024
All excellent, guide was attentive, on schedule. He knew about history and pinpointed the historical sites.

Amazing tour of Sintra!

bharat_p, Mar 2024
