Great Tuk Tuk experience exploring the Zona Ribeirinha and Belém in Lisbon! The ride along the river was beautiful and our guide was friendly and informative. A highlight of the tour was stopping at Pastéis de Belém to try the famous custard tarts (which are an offer from the guide) — warm, crispy, and absolutely delicious. A fun and easy way to discover this historic area. Highly recommended!
