We had an amazing experience combining a 2-hour tuk tuk tour with a 2-hour sailing trip on the river. The tuk tuk ride was a great way to explore the area, learn some local history, and see beautiful spots that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour really enjoyable. The sailing part was just as special. Being out on the river was peaceful and relaxing, with stunning views and a great atmosphere. Just at the sunset ! Everything was well organized and the whole experience felt personal and authentic. Highly recommended if you want a fun and unique way to discover the area both on land and from the water!

Authentic and unforgettable experience in Lisbon! If you are looking for something really special in Lisbon, I highly recommend the sailing boat ride over the River Tejo with the Lisbon Vaibes.

The boat is comfortable, the view of the city is stunning and the climate on board is mild, pleasant and very welcoming. A moment to keep in memory!

Muito obrigado pela sua avaliação! Ficamos muito contentes por saber que o passeio de barco foi incrível e que o Miguel e o Alex contribuíram com a sua simpatia, entusiasmo e boa energia — eles adoram o que fazem e é ótimo saber que isso se sente a bordo! Muito obrigado!
I already had the excellent pleasure of enjoying a day at sunset with friends on the boat in the company of Alex and Miguel who were exceptional... both the affection and care they received us, as well as the will they placed us! Very friendly and professional, at the very beginning we are given the information of the safety measures, throughout the journey make a tour where we pass and while this also we have the right to the welcome drink! It was very worth the experience , it turned out to be a mutual sharing and it is something to repeat without a doubt ☺️ As well as the trip of tuk-tuk , which was made with the Lourenço , where he tells us the whole story and tells us about the tourist attractions in Lisbon , quite friendly and always willing to clear any doubts and to give us knowledge , excellent professional and a great way to know the corners of the city ! 😌😌👍👍

If you're looking for an authentic, safe, and unforgettable experience in Lisbon, I highly recommend the sailing boat tour on the Tagus River with Lisbon Vibes. From the very start, the professionalism and punctuality of the team stood out. The welcome on board was flawless, with a brief introduction to the experience, followed by a well-served welcome drink and carefully prepared appetizers, all offered with great attention to detail in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Throughout the journey, we always felt in good hands. The crew is experienced, attentive, and fully committed to the safety and comfort of all guests. We even had the chance to get involved in the sailing, from helping with the sails to taking the helm for a few moments, always under clear, friendly guidance. The setting? Lisbon seen from the Tagus at sunset, bathed in golden light, with a gentle breeze and the peaceful silence of sailing. Between smiles, laughter, and countless candid photos, we shared moments of true joy and relaxation. A big thank you to Lisbon Vibes for making it all possible with such an outstanding service. I 100% recommend this experience, and I can’t wait to do it again!

It was one of those experiences that really stay with you. We started with a tuk-tuk ride through the old streets of Lisbon — narrow alleys, fascinating stories, breathtaking viewpoints... all with that unique energy of the city. Then, we boarded a sailboat and cruised along the Tagus, with the sun reflecting off the rooftops and a perfect breeze accompanying us. Lisbon seen from the inside and the outside, all in one tour. Genuine, beautiful, and very well organized. Highly recommend it!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that the experience left such a lasting impression on you — that's exactly what we aim for. Lisbon has so much magic to offer, both from its charming streets and from the water, and we're happy we could share both sides of the city with you. It was a pleasure having you on board (and on wheels!) — come back anytime for more adventures!
