Spent an outstanding 4 hours with Raquel. She was very well informed and provided us with a lot of information on the tour including history and detailed information and architectural data on the many areas we visited. Raquel was very personable and friendly. Highly recommended.
Had a great time touring the sites. Our driver, Ricardo, was great at explaining the sights and recommending good food.
Great experience. Our tour guide Joaquim C. was outstanding. Full of knowledge and let us explore on our pace. We extended the trip because we wanted to see more.
We love this! Joaquim will be so happy to know you found him outstanding and full of knowledge. Letting you explore at your own pace is exactly the kind of experience we want to create and the fact you extended the trip to see more says it all! Thanks for sharing and for making the most out of your time in Lisbon with us!

As a history enthusiast, I was blown away by how much history Lisbon packs into its streets. Every corner seems to have a story, and thanks to Tomás Neves from Just Tour It, I got to discover so many hidden gems I would've otherwise missed. Tomás was the perfect tuk tuk guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about his city. The 4-hour tour flew by, and his lunch recommendation was both delicious and budget-friendly. If you're visiting Lisbon and want a fun, insightful tour, I highly recommend booking with Tomás. It was a real highlight of my trip!
