Enter the narrow streets of Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest quarter, full of Roman remains, Arabic influences, and charming details that inspired Fado songs, along with the 12th-century imposing Cathedral and the St. Jorge Castle crowning the hill. There’s so much more to discover aboard this vintage tram, a beloved part of Lisbon’s scenery since the 19th century. Feel the city’s rhythm, capture unforgettable photos, and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and stories of a truly unique Lisbon. Ready to hop on?

Raquel is wonderful

Raquel is wonderful. I went to the Yellow Tram Stand, thinking it was a tourist information office, but she was so skillful in explaining about the red line ride that she ended up making me give up the 28th Tram, which was what I actually wanted to do. My family and I really liked it. We were on an Ambassador Cruise Line cruise and we were able to optimize the time with the itinerary offered by Raquel. Raquel is wonderful. I went to the Yellow Tram Stand thinking it was a tourist information office, but she explained the Red Line tram tour so skillfully that she convinced me to skip Tram 28—which was what I had originally intended to do. My family and I really liked it. We were on an Ambassador Cruise Line cruise, and the itinerary Raquel offered allowed us to make the most of our time.

Red and Gold Tram Lines - Excellent Experience

Please note this review regards the red and gold tram routes and does not refer to the bus or boat trips as we did not do those. The tram excursions were brilliant. Each tram had good space available so everyone got a seat. Commentary was pre recorded but provided in multiple languages by headphones (which are provided). The windows were open allowing fresh air and the opportunity to take photos. Our tram drivers were friendly and helpful and it was very interesting to see them navigate the driving with the many cars, bikes, pedestrians etc around the city! The routes were very interesting and diverse and this allows you to see a wide range of Lisbon areas in the comfort and ease of the tram. As it does not stop to pick up or set down passengers on the route this is a much simpler and more relaxing option compared to the public trams. The one issue was it was very unclear which tram was operating which route and you have to be quick to ask the driver and then get on the tram if it is the correct route. We didn’t see anything on the front or side of the tram to confirm which route was being operated and this could easily be improved/resolved by the operator. A great experience and would highly recommend.

Great journey with an excellent driver.

The driver of the 9:30 red line was super nice, took several photos of me, and tried to give me as much information in French despite the audio. Explained how the tram works, super nice visit, I highly recommend it 👌🙏😊👍.

It’s enjoyable but not amazing.

Definitely touristy. But also not as crowded as the regular trams. If you want the experience of just riding and looking and a chance to just sit and observe this is a great choice. If you are looking for more high energy, this is not that. You ride the entire loop for around 1 hour. No getting on or off. However you are literally following the regular trams so you only go as fast as the tram in front of you. And while they stop at places to let passengers on and off. You just sit behind them and ride. We were looking for a chance to experience a tram without the crowds and this was the answer.

Waiting for a refund cause we missed the trip

I can’t review it because we weren’t able to go because of late flights. I’m waiting to hear about getting a refund. If we do, we will rebook, this time with 9 people instead of 5. Hope they do it.

Yellow Bus Tours Lisbon,very cool

Although I've been to Portugal on many occasions over the years this was my first visit to Lisbon, loved the city ,its vibrant and beautiful, my twin brother and I decided to go with Yellow Bus Tours Lisbon and book the Lisbon Hills Red Tram,we were not disappointed. A vintage tram meanders upto the Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon, the oldest district of Lisbon, the route takes in many architectural gems ,its a photographers dream ,so many beautiful buildings including the famous Sé De Lisboa and Castelo De Sao Jorge up in the hills and so many other beautiful buildings,we both loved this tour,a highlight of our holiday, thanks again Yellow Bus Tours Lisbon.

Amazing experience with the Yellow Tours Lisbon!

We loved the experience with the Yellow Tours Lisbon! Raquel received us super well, always very friendly, helpful and attentive. It was she who advised us the Lisbon Hills Red Tram tour with the route of the tram 28, and it was indeed an excellent suggestion. The route is actually very beautiful, it passes through historical areas and incredible viewpoints, giving to know Lisbon in a very typical and quiet way. We highly recommend Yellow Tours Lisbon, have an excellent service!
