    Immediately YES!

    From start to finish we had such a great time. Pedro exudes knowledge and passion and excitement for his native Portugal. A natural storyteller and instant friend, he shared stories and anecdotes and historical tidbits we didn’t know. We came to love Lisbon even more.

    Fantastic – book with Mario Pereira if you can!

    Our tour with Mario Pereira was probably the best city tour we’ve ever taken. Mario is incredibly knowledgeable about Lisbon and its history. Rather than simply pointing out the sights as we passed, he brought the city to life by weaving together its history like a storyteller.

    The BEST way to see Lisbon — especially for a first visit!

    My two friends and I booked this private tuk tuk tour over Labor Day weekend, and it was one of the highlights of our girls’ trip! Our guide, Pinto, was wonderful — knowledgeable, personable, funny, and clearly passionate about Lisbon.

    Nuno Serra for the win!

    Nuno Serra was our guide. He was fantastic. Knowledgeable. Personal and inviting. Able to tell great stories. He made the history memorable. He likely has told each of these stories hundreds of times but made his presentations fresh. This is a tough job but he was amazing. The 4 hours flew by.

    Nuno brings Lisbon to Life!!

    Me, my husband and 89 yr old mother in law had a fabulous time being shown the history and highlights of beautiful Lisbon. Nuno Miranda was a fabulous tour guide and beyond kind to us, even lending an arm to my mother in law when needed.

    Incredible experience

    Marcos was phenomenal. He knew everything about the city and was able to answer all of our questions. The tuk tuk was very comfortable and fit my family of four with plenty of room. The best part was Marcos’s insider knowledge.

    Fantastic private Tuk-Tuk tour with Eduardo

    We had a wonderful time on our four-hour private Tuk-Tuk tour with Eduardo. He explained so much about Lisbon’s history, culture and neighborhoods, and always made plenty of stops so we could enjoy the views, take photos and explore the different sights.

    Great, Fun, Educational, Exciting experience

    Tiago was so much more than just our tuk-tuk guide—he was our driver, teacher, entertainer, and at times, roller coaster operator! From the moment our tour began, he was fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable.
