Lisbon tuk tuk tour

Great experience with a very friendly and knowledgable guide, Bernardo! We did the tour on our first day so we could understand what we did and did not want to see during our stay, it was a perfect tour for this and to understand the history of Lisbon. Bernardo let us see what we wanted to see and didn’t make us see anything we were not so interested in. Great experience!

Must do Tuk Tuk Tour of Lisbon

We had an amazing experience with our four hour Tuk Tuk tour of Lisbon by ColourTrip. Marta, our guide, was exceptional. Our trip to Lisbon was unfortunately limited to 2 days due to unexpected travel delays. This tour allowed us to see and experience so much of this beautiful city with an expert guide. It was a highlight of our stay in Lisbon. Marta provided insider knowledge of the history, food, and neighborhoods of Lisbon. We saw so many places and viewpoints that we would not have found on our own. It was almost a mini food tour as well with special stops Marta made along the way. Book this tour! It will not disappoint!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted that Marta made your time in Lisbon so memorable despite your travel delays. It means a lot to know the tour was a highlight of your visit. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Excellent tour of the highlights of Lisbon with lots of history about the city

This is a great tour to see the highlights of Lisbon all in one day and learn lots about the city. Our guide Gonçalo Xavier was very knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon and he also had lots of great foodie recommendations for later in our stay in Cascais and Sintra. He was very flexible during the tour, tailoring it to our needs, and he was very thoughtful navigating the potholes of Lisbon streets!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed discovering Lisbon with Gonçalo Xavier. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope you had a fantastic time in Cascais and Sintra, and we'd love to welcome you back on another tour!
