We were the only people on the tour when we did it. It was a lovely day weather wise and we had a great time with Francisco. He is an extremely friendly, personable and interesting person. It was great to see the sights of Lisbon from the river in a traditional boat, it gives a completely different perspective to things. Francisco was kind enough to take some photos of us and send them to me via Whatsapp. I also really loved the quotation he has painted on his boat in Portuguese. "Whatever the future holds, there will always be moonlit nights, the Sintra mountains, and the Tagus River flowing to the sea!" by José Hermano Saraiva It was really easy to have a conversation with Francisco and he is a very genuine and caring person. I can thoroughly recommend this boat tour on the Tagus.
Was looking for an informative river tour and definitely found it. We had the best time! And learned a lot of about Lisbon. Francisco really seems to love what he does and it shows (Maria, too!) Definitely, one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon.
I did onpasseinde barcontradicionsl by.Rio Tejo. Rewarding experience though it was very cold. Attention total guide Elisa ,
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
Wonderful tour, spectacular afternoon, luxury crew. Lisbon view of the Tejo River with a pleasant conversation and full of historical curiosities. Francis is really a good host. I recommend the tours of the Legend of the Tagus.
Fantastic trip in Lenda do Tejo, with amazing crew Francisco and Vasco. Great view , great time 👌 and sharing of the city's history
Excellent family experience. I highly recommend. Francisco is an excellent skipper who adds value to the experience, giving us another perspective on the city of Lisbon.
Francisco Was an amazing guide and made us feel safe, comfortable and really spent the time to teach us all about Lisbon and its history! Informative and in an intimate setting, it was truly a highlight of our 3 week trip to Portugal. We plan to visit again and will certainly pay another visit to Francisco and team! Many thanks for the cool experience, our family won’t forget it!
The boat tour was amazing. From the communication beforehand to the ride itself things went smoothly. We chose this ride because it was possible to bring a dog and she was received kindly and there were no problems taking her with us. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and the area around it. Not only did we learn something during the beautiful boat ride, we also got to ask questions and received advice for what to do in and around the city from a local perspective. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming , for us and our dog. Additionally the guide was also kind enough to take pictures of us. All in all a great experience that we can only recommend should you visit the city
It was a unique experience! I bought the tour to start the day to see what we have of the most beautiful in the city of Lisbon and that well.. with two children was afraid that he could not run so well, but his Francisco and Vasco soon put us at ease with his empathic and warm welcome! And they treated our daughters very well. We love the walk and the simplicity of the same, which simply has nothing! We still get to know a little more about the history of our city of Lisbon! Thank you to all involved ☺️
