We had an absolutely amazing experience with Mario P. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon and Portugal. You capture 3 days of walking in 4 hours on the Tuck Tuck. Highly recommend!
I always book a Lisboa Tuktuk tour when friends and family visit Portugal. It's a great way to get an intro to this incredible city. Every guide and every tour is different, and I learn something new every time. Luis was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He asked what we'd like and then provided a very personal tour of those spots. It was like taking a tour with an old friend or your cousin and not something a group tour or book could give you. It was an excellent experience!
Just arrived Lisbon late yesterday and thought that a Tuk Tuk tour would be a good way to get an overall sense of the city. Wise decision! Though we were a bit concerned over the length of the tour (4 hours), it passed quickly and, thanks to Henrique’s incredible knowledge and very pleasant manner, we had a very enjoyable time and, though we likely retained less than 10% of the great facts and insights that he imparted, ended the tour both entertained and way more knowledgeable. No matter the many questions we had, Henrique was encyclopedic and always had the answer. Thoroughly recommend both him and the tour
Pedro was a phenomenal guide! He was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was clear that cares deeply about the history and culture of Lisbon. The hours flew by and we were entertained nonstop. We made several stops- including for the famous Belem pastel de nata which was even better than expected. Pedro customized our tour based on our interests which made the experience even better. This is a must-do in Lisbon!

My compliments to Serra, he made this trip realy worth the trip and money. Good interaction and open for any type of questions and verry good knowledge about the origin of Lisboa. And how the city is evolving into the present and some good insights about the future. Great knowledge about Portugal in general and a verry nice and relaxed city tour. I would book him again if I would visit Lissabon again.
This tour in Lisbon was amazing. Serra is a great travel guide! Serra is a wonderful storyteller with a great sense of humor!
We had a great guide named Serra. He told a lot about Lissabon. It was very interesting. We see great places and he take time to explain everything.
Troni was an exceptional guide with a wealth of knowledge! He was very informative but also gave wonderful recommendations for the remainder of our trip! Highly recommended!
We had an amazing day with Mario. We didn’t really know what to expect from Lisbon but Mario showed us his amazing city and was a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of Portugal. I think I learned more on this tour than most others I have ever been on. If you are interested in history and want to have an amazing day book this tour and ask for Mario.
