Personalized tour with Diego! - Our guide Diego! Very personable, knowledgeable about Portuguese history, and adapted the experience to our wishes. My favorite part was at the end when we did a little walking tour through the Alfama district with a stop to try Ginja.

Wonderful Tuk Tuk Tour of Historic Places in Lisbon - This was a great way to start my visit in Lisbon. This two hour historical tuk tuk tour was really fun and interesting. Vini is really kind, very knowledgeable, and a great guy. He took me through the various historical neighborhoods, and it really helped me get oriented and see some wonderful sites. It was a very fun couple of hours. Vini explained so much of the history and character of the places that we visited. There are so many interesting places on the tour! He offers a variety of tours, and I would highly recommend him!

Great experience to enjoy Lisbon without having to walk that much, and still learn a lot! - We went on a tuk tuk tour with ColourTrip Lisbon: the communication was very easy, and our guide Nathalia was perfectly on time (a little early even, but no rush at all). Because of illness we could not walk that easily, but Nathalia was very considerate and asked what was possible and what is was that we wanted. Because of the traffic we had to wait a while; she decided to give us extra time for that. We are in Lisbon for a short period of time; using the TukTuk is a great way to get around and see a lot of Lisbons historical points. The TukTuk was pauzed anytime we wanted to take pictures, and we stopped at a few points to rest, get a cup of coffee and a pastel de nata ofcourse, and to take a good look at the view over Lisbon (the bridge, the Cristo, all of the churches). I even got a gift from Nathalia for getting better, at one of the churches! The tour (old city of Lisbon) was great, so was the transport in the TukTuk, and the guidance of Nathalia. She was well informed, and speaks English fluently; We would reccommend her definitely!

Vinnie is the best. - We did a multi hour tour after arriving from the airport. Vinnie met us at our hotel and was super nice and informative. Our boys loved it and I highly recommend this tour as you see the most popular spots and it’s very chill and relaxing. A few hours was the perfect way to get introduced to beautiful Lisbon.

We were there on a cruise... - We were there on a cruise ship and the cruise guest services gave wrong port information so driver went to wrong place but made it right by coming to where we were. Driver great. Too many people in town from 4 cruise ships. Only way to get to top and historical sights is by Tuk Tuk unless you want to climb a lot. Lisbon very hilly and very narrow streets. A really great way to see the city.

Poor booking, unreliable - After multiple confirmation emails (probably automated), and us reaching out to contact 30 min prior to pick up, no response. They had no booking for us, no driver arranged. They scrambled at the last minute to find another, we started 1 hour late, negatively impacting later plans. Do not book. Plenty of tuk tuks waiting at square.
