Miguel was extremely knowledgeable and took us around many historical areas—he even brought us to the original Pastel de Nata café! He was very friendly and personable, making the experience even better. It was an amazing ride, and we learned so much during the two-hour tour. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Lisbon. It was truly a highlight of our trip.

We were a family of four traveling with two kids. After researching a number of tuk tuk companies (overwhelming as there are so many!), I chose I Took a Tuk Tuk. Communication with Adriana was excellent from the start. She was quick to respond and answered all my questions. I even made an error with the date and she fixed it no problem at all. Leading up to the day of the tour, we received communication from Adriana with details of the pick up and then the morning of from Savio our guide. Savio was AMAZING! So great with us and our two kids. We traveled to Belém to try pastels de nata and Savio got us right in without needing to stand in the long line. He knew the staff well enough to bring us to a back area to watch the pastries being made and then it was a short wait for us the purchase our pastels. After that we stopped at more sights in Belém for pictures and some history. I was honestly the perfect balance to give us a taste of the city in short 2 hour window. We never ever felt rushed by Savio. We ended about 20 minutes past the two hour mark, but not once did Savio make things awkward and bring that to our attention. He dropped us off in the main square at our request and we ended the day as a family sampling the local cuisine and wandering the through the shops. It was honestly the absolute perfect day in Lisbon due mostly to Savio and the lovely weather too. Thank you Adriana and Savio!!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! It truly means a lot to us that you took the time to share your experience. I’m so glad the planning process felt smooth and stress-free, especially when traveling with little ones — and I'm happy we could quickly fix that date mix-up without a hitch! Savio will be thrilled to hear your kind words. He genuinely enjoys creating memorable moments for families, and it’s wonderful to hear how he made the experience feel seamless, fun, and personal — from skipping the line at the pastry shop to giving you those extra minutes without ever rushing you. That’s exactly the kind of experience we strive to deliver. We’re so happy Lisbon gave you sunshine and smiles, and even happier that we got to be a part of your perfect day here. We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime! Warm regards, Adriana General Manager I Took a TukTuk Team
