Very confused on river cruise - River cruise was fantastic . The only problem was getting there. The Hop-on-hop-off left us very far from where we had to take the yellow river boat and we had to ask for directions all the way down and nobody seem to know anything. I think that the bus driver should have been more informative.

We start every new city we visit in the world by doing Hop on/off, one of the last real bargains in travel today! - Excellent way to get a city overview at a bargain. Friendly and helpful staff guided us along even with our lack of speaking ANY Portuguese. This has been true in every country and language.

Lot of ride and views for money - The ticket information did not make it clear where to pick up bus. Finally found a ticket booth and was directed to walk another five blocks to bus pick up point. Once on the bus the tour took us through the older part of the city. Returning to the starting point we picked up the bus that toured the modern part of the city. The contrast is amazing.

Good but not perfect - We did two bus tours in one day and a river cruise tour the next. The tour routes were all very good; but the Belem tour, which was our first one, really disappointed us because the audio narration quit working about a third of the way through and didn’t restart until shortly before the tour ended. And this was the more historical tour, which made it more important to me! Yellow Bus really should know how to make it work by now! Everything else went smoothly and we enjoyed the experience; however, they should really provide better instructions for the embarkation point for the boat tour. The dock is part of a pretty big complex and no directions, instructions or map of where to go were provided. In a foreign country where not everyone is proficient in English, this was unduly stressful. Signage at the dock was nonexistent. I think the Yellow Bus management should imagine sending their own grandparents to accomplish the task. Many of us seniors take these tours in order to reduce the stress of travel. Getting to the starting point should not be a challenge

Other than drive around, the info lacks greatly. - Both bus tours lacked a whole lot. The audio mostly music. The modern tour allot of shipping docks and a giant shopping mall. The boat tour audio wacked out and started over. Heard about bridge as we past under. Then again after we turned around. Easy way to see city but don't learn much about it. I used to enjoy the human given tours. Not the audio ones.

Be prepared for long waits - Unfortunately not so happy with Yellow Bus in Lisbon for these reasons : 1. Long waits between buses, waited up to one hour. Did not take the chance of getting off. Missed a realtime online schedule. 2. Information on guide was limited. Long intermissions with after a while annoying Fado music ( I would prefer less music and more information and maybe a couple fun stories) I am sure there are so much more to tell about this city. 3. For boat tour, they had us waiting out in burning sun and 30 degrees for 30 minutes before letting us on the boat. Recommend to set up shades in summertime . The information on boat was very brief and in too many languages. Good thing with the tour is that you get an ok overview of the city.

BIG Disappointment - Big Disappointment. Traveling with family 7 people (total 2 are 78 yrs old. ) As recommended by travel agent we went on Monday. We started at 9 am and were off on last bus run. Most Museums were closed which we found out when we disembarked. When asking drivers for information all 3buses we used were very abrupt. We were told came every 30 minutes it was more 45 to 1 hour no shade or benches available to wait…,,5 bussed were shown on the live route app. App says 3 minutes away and never shows. When got the buses they are over crowded had to sit lower level no ac or open windows for air circulation. Tried taking yellow boat which is extra and due to lack of busses missed the delay and had 2 1/2 h wait. Then missed bus’s for next stop had hour wait Very uncomfortable especially for older adults after standing in sun for 45 min to hour. Never got to use modern Lisbon route as bus never came. After 1hour wait we took last Belem bus so we could at least get nearer to our hotel. Wasted most of day waiting for the bus. Not a true hop on off ride. Better pay little more and have tour where you can get off and on
