We spent an afternoon in Lisbon with Gonçalo and it was the hightlight of our trip. His good vibes, laid-back attitude and extensive knowledge makes him an exceptional tour guide. We didn’t feel like tourists - instead we felt like we were hanging out with our friend that was showing us his country with pride and honour. I can’t recommend him enough!
Goncalo was the absolute best!!! He was so fun and made our experience amazing!!
Goncales is a great tour guide with excellent knowledge & insights about Lisbon and Portuguese history. He picked us up from our hotel and was very flexible to help us see the things we wanted rather than a rigid tour. Very nice guy and would highly recommended.
Goncalo was amazing. Great information about the history of the area and very friendly.

Great way to see the best parts of Lisbon!
My friends and I were visiting Lisbon for the weekend and decided to do a TukTuk tour with Gonçalo, and we are so glad we did! He was an amazing tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable while also keeping the whole ride fun and entertaining. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy each stop and take everything in. It ended up being the highlight of our trip, and we saw places we definitely would have missed on our own. If you’re considering this tour, book with him, he’s truly the best!
