Although the views were really great, we didn’t know what we were watching . I booked a tour in Spanish but no one talked to us in Spanish. Worth it only if you speak Portuguese or English . I feel I was ripped off
Dear Adriana, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the views of Lisbon from the river. On the day of your tour, our Spanish-speaking guide unfortunately had an unforeseen commitment and could not be present. The crew who stepped in did their very best to provide explanations and ensure that everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing sailing experience. During the tour, it seemed to us that you were enjoying the experience and taking in the beautiful views of Lisbon, so we are sorry to learn afterwards that the language aspect did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to provide the best possible experience for all our guests. Thank you for joining us and we wish you a wonderful stay in Lisbon.
A must do, this is! We had a beautiful evening out on a comfy yacht, with the wonderful Teresa taking excellent care of us on board. Wine, snacks, a blanket if needed (it wasn’t 😁), insights into the places we were going past and navigating the Tagus in the able hands of our skipper Angelo. Amazing sights of Lisboa, Belem, other places and a glimpse of the vast Atlantic … all on a sun soaked evening leading to a beautiful sunset. A truly excellent way to start our last evening in Lisboa - thank you Teresa and Angelo.
Dear Jay, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you chose our Lisbon sailing tour to begin your last evening in the city. Sharing a relaxing sunset cruise on the Tagus River, with views of Belém and Lisbon's waterfront landmarks, is always a special experience for us as well. It was a pleasure to welcome you on board, and Angelo and I are thrilled to know that you enjoyed the sailing, the local insights, the wine and snacks, and of course the beautiful sunset over Lisbon. Thank you for sailing with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable sailing experience on the Tagus whenever you return to Lisbon! Warm regards, Teresa & Angelo
We got into Lisbon in the afternoon and so glad we did this tour our first night. It was a perfect way to relax after traveling. The water was amazing and we saw several sights much better from the boat than when we went back the next day. Teresa made sure we were taken care of throughout with drinks, snacks and great info about the local area!

Nice, relaxing ride. Boat did not go fast which was great. Friendly and great service. Nice way to see the city from the water
Dear Nira, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere on board and the gentle sailing experience along the Tagus River.

This boat trip on the Tagus is undoubtedly one of the highlights of our stay in Lisbon. From the very first moments, one is struck by the majesty of the river and the beauty of the panoramas that unfold before us: the 25th of April Bridge stands with imposing grace, Christ the King watches over from his hill, and the city reveals itself from an angle that one would not have suspected from the solid ground. The crew was attentive, professional, smiling, and passionate. The explanations about the history of Lisbon and its monuments were captivating, delivered with humor and generosity. One could feel a sincere love for this city and this river that never stops telling its story. The golden light on the Tagus in the late afternoon was simply magical. We navigated in contemplative silence, rocked by the waves, with some notes of fado playing in the background... a moment of pure grace. I wholeheartedly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Lisbon. Do not miss out — it is an experience that will stay etched in your memory for a long time. A huge thank you to the entire team of All Accor activities and Discover Oasis!
Merci infiniment Mouhssine pour ce merveilleux commentaire et pour avoir choisi notre Lisbon sailing tour pour découvrir la ville depuis le Tage. Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que cette sunset cruise in Lisbon a été l’un des moments forts de votre séjour. Le pont du 25 Avril, le Cristo Rei, les couleurs du coucher du soleil sur le Tagus River et l’atmosphère paisible à bord créent en effet une expérience unique que nous aimons partager avec nos invités du monde entier. Toute notre équipe met tout son cœur à offrir bien plus qu’une simple boat tour in Lisbon : nous souhaitons créer des souvenirs authentiques, mêlant navigation, histoire, culture portugaise et les plus belles vues de Lisbonne depuis le fleuve. Merci également pour vos gentils mots concernant notre équipage. Votre reconnaissance signifie énormément pour nous et nous encourage à continuer à offrir une expérience chaleureuse et personnalisée à chaque sortie. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à bord lors d’une prochaine visite à Lisbonne, peut-être pour une autre sunset sailing experience on the Tagus River. Avec toute notre gratitude, L’équipe Discover Oasis
What a perfectly relaxing evening in Lisbon. Sailing on the water with a glass of wine is the best way to see the city! Our guide Teresa was a perfect blend of history lessons in between giving us time to relax. I would recommend this to everyone visiting Lisbon!
