“I booked this tour looking for an authentic, adventurous way to dive into Lisbon's history, and it exceeded every expectation! Even with 16km to cover and some gloomy, spitting rain, I had the absolute best time.🫶🏼 A huge thank you to Joao, who is a fantastic storyteller and an even better guide. He made maneuvering the electric bikes a breeze with his clear directions and constant reassurance. He stayed with the group every step of the way, pointed out the best local spots for food and drinks, and took me to some breathtaking viewpoints. Plus, he’s a secret pro at taking photos! Thank you, Joao, for an unforgettable day! 💯🫶🏼✨”

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 794 reviews · from $37

Review of Lisbon’s City Sightseeing bus tour, with three routes, 40-plus stops, UNESCO sites, optional boat and walking tours.

“We had a 48 hour pass for 3 bus routes, 2 walking tours and a night tour. The routes accomplished the goal of seeing a lot of the city. The flexibility to use the lines any time for two days was great. The narration on the buses was sparse however. The walking tours were great. Knowledgeable, pleasant guides who were willing and able to answer most any question. The information on where to meet for one tour was poor and we spoke to two other couples who never found it at all. A street address is needed - not just a street name. The buses started later than some other…”
