Recommended tour
We booked this tour via cruise operator and we are so pleased we did.
The tour was fantastic and very different to the usual sightseeing buses.
Farfa and claudio were amazing hosts with added singing and music soundtracks as we toured the city and river! A quick stop off with a tart and time to stretch your legs and enjoy the river before getting back on and seeing the city.
We were picked up and dropped off at the cruise terminal with ease.
My mum who uses a walking stick managed to get on/off with a little patience however the steps are steep so just be mindful.

You have to do it
We went to experience the vehicle type and if we learned something about Lisbon bonus. But what wer got was sooooo much better. The staff were great and the guide FaFa (sorry about the spelling) just made it so much fun.
The site is not in the centre but in what looks like an industrial harbour. But when you get there if you need to wait its within a hidden harbour area you can have food and drinks with a lovely view.
100% recommend the experience and I felt it was a great value for money too

Hippo Hippo Horray
This was a fantastic experience and FaFa was a real star. The tour was fun and informative and FaFa’s jokes were so bad they were good. The playing of the Titanic movie theme song as we entered the water was perfect. FaFa’s singing was so good, he could definitely enter the Eurovision Song Contest… at least for the UK!
I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a bit of light hearted fun whilst getting a tour of Lisbon.
I am so sorry I forgot the driver/captain’s name, it was Muriel or something like that.
Well done Guys… Hippo Hippo!
