Itinerary
This is by far the most interesting place in the city. If you can only do one area, I would recommend you do this. Highlights include: • the best views of the city • the Mourish castle of Saint George (11th century), SE Cathedral (oldest cathedral in town 12th century) and the ruins of the Roman Theater (1st century) • Fado - traditional Portuguese music (although you can hear this in other places as well, this is where the most authentic Fado houses are, from 7pm onwards) • Ginginha (Portuguese sour cherry licor) tasting

Excellent experience with Pifas in Lisbon! Fantastic way to explore the best lisbon has to offer! So informative and lots of tips and tricks for the city.
We were so lucky to find Pifas for a tour of Lisbon! The only unfortunate thing was that we found him on our last day! He was a wealth of knowledge about the city and has an amazing energy that had our whole family laughing! Our tuk tuk ride was a highlight of the trip and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to get around the city with a fantastic guide. He’s been doing it for years and it shows! We will definitely be calling him the next time we come to Lisbon and recommending to all of our friends. Thanks, Pifas! 🩷 The Edmondson Family
Pifas is amazing! We did a 3 hour tour of Lisbon while on vacation with a large family group. Others in our group also participated in tuktuk tours with other operators, but none were as enthused with their tour and guide as we were. There are so many options out there, do yourself a favor and hire Pifas - you will not be disappointed.
My wife and I booked a full-day tour of Lisbon because we toured Sintra on the first day, and we wanted to maximize our experience on the second day before we left for Spain. We asked Pifas to design the perfect tour, and he delivered. A brilliant tour guide who understands history from a world view, Pifas dazzled us with his knowledge, taking us through the key sites of the city,: cultural, historical, and panoramic. Our day was breathtaking, exciting, and enjoyable. If you seek a tour of Lisbon’s rich history, from the Age of Discoveries to the Moorish influence, Ecotuk Pifas is your first choice. Neighborhoods like Alfama, Bairro Alto, and Baixa are full of stories and landmarks, and Pifas knows them all. You deserve an unforgettable full day tour.
Pifas was an awesome guide for our tour of Alfama. He was knowledgeable, professional, funny, and passionate about sharing his love for Lisbon. He has a 6 person tuk-tuk (electric, so quiet making it easy to hear him as he drives), and he took us all over Alfama, Graca, and Miradoura sharing his insights with us. We stopped at several fantastic viewpoints, went into a church and a museum, walked through the oldest section of the Alfama where he pointed out good restaurants and the best places to hear Fado. When my wife mentioned wanting to buy some cork products, he made sure to point out the best place so we could come back. I wish we could have had his tours of all the neighborhoods of Lisbon. He was very responsive to my inquiry and had good availability. Highly Recommend!
Friends recommended Pifas for an overview of Lisbon. He covered a lot of ground and introduced us to the highlights of this great city in 3 short hours. We highly recommend using Pifas.
We have chosen the best tour ever. It was a wonderful experience driving through Lisbon and seeing the sights. our guide was excellent and explained everything we were interested in and more. In a good mood, he showed us some points that, as tourists, are inaccessible and unknown. You can see that he loves his job and knows what he is doing. All recommendations and THANKS
Pifas is an amazing guide and super safe Tuk Tuk driver! We’ve been doing Tuk Tuk tours throughout Portugal. Pifas is the best! Loved our 4 hour tour of Lisbon! Learned so much! Pifas has amazing energy and truly loves what he does! He is very well liked in Lisbon. Everywhere we went so many people know and love Pifas. Can’t recommend him enough!
Pifas is a wonderful guide. He’s deeply knowledgeable, friendly and fun. My family took his tour on our first full day in Lisbon and it was a terrific introduction to Portugal. I highly recommend booking with Pifas. You’ll learn so much about the city and country and you’ll have a great time doing it!
We saw Pifas advertising his tour when we got off our cruise ship in Lisbon. We wanted to do a tuktuk tour so we decided to go on his tour. The tour was catered to what we wanted to see and how long we had. We ended up doing a two hour tour which was great. We were taken to all the main sites and were able to look around and take photos etc. Pifas had great local knowledge and the tour was really interesting. I'm glad we were lucky enough to get him.
