Poorly organized and too much time floating instead of seeing sights

This was supposed to be a 45 minute boat cruise and it ended up being an hour and a half. We only passed briefly in front of the main part of Lisbon and spent some time looking at the coast on the other side, which was nice, but then spent probably 20 minutes watching cargo boats loading. We then had to spend 25 minutes to wait to dock, which was disappointing.

False advertising

Boathouse location given is not correct. Therefor paid for a tour for two, got nothing it wasted an afternoon! I have used Viator for May years in many countries but I have to rethink that going forward. Not happy!

This tour is a must!

This traditional boat is one of few still left in Lisbon. It was nice to ride a piece of Portuguese naval history. The views were of course beautiful, and you get a really stunning view of the entire skyline. it Our tour guide, Elissa, and the captain and crew, Jorge and Paulo, were exceptional. It was a comfortable trip with a lot of history and interesting facts about Lisbon sprinkled in. They did a lot to ensure our comfort, offering blankets against the wind and drinks. Their hospitality and care made this one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly recommend!! (p.s. make sure to check your email a few hours before to double check the location!)
