Great tour, wonderful guide! - This was a wonderfully informative tour of Lisbon’s Old City, and Nuno was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. We felt that we really got to know the city and its surroundings through the eyes of someone who really loves his city. Absolutely recommended!

Amazing way to see the city!! - We had the best time in Lisbon with Tiago as our tour guide. He arrived early to meet us and his TukTuk was comfortable and clean. He asked us what we wanted out of the tour, we told him, and he delivered. Being a native, he was able to provide a wonderful tour of the city (some popular sites and also some local non-tourist sites) with a lot of historical facts. He took us from one side of the city to the other and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend Tiago!

Excellent tour - Tiago gave us a great 2-hour tour! We told him the places we had already been, and he adjusted the route to show us new areas that we hadn't seen, and some of his own favorite places. He spoke good English and had lots of interesting stories to tell. He stopped in a few places for photos and at two shops. We didn't check prices for rentals on the street, so I'm not sure how their rates compare.

Tuck tuck triumph - Mario’s love and passion for Lisbon shone through and was infectious. He gave us the most magical insight to Lisbon. His knowledge was amazing and the restaurant Sant Avo, his recommendation was amazing. We were picked up at the hotel and he gave us a great tour with stops along the way to take in the views. A tuck tuck triumph. Thank you Mario

Excellent tour by José Luis - A fabulous, five star rated tour around Lisbon (Vadio and Navegador trips combined). Our wonderful guide, José Luis was so friendly, informative and fun. We can't recommend this highly enough if you're new to Lisbon and don't know where to start the sightseeing. It has definitely given us an insight into the history and culture, and we would certainly be back for a longer stay (we had around 48 hrs here). The best guide we could have hoped for, make sure you ask for José Luis. What a great guy.

Very disappointed - Tuktuk ride arranged by hotel (cost 220 euros) was unsatisfactory. I am very surprised to see so many highly rated reviews. The driver Mario was very pleasant and knowledgeable; a lovely man. However, the tuktuk was very difficult to get in and out of (we're quite nimble but this would be a real problem for some people); the ride was unbelievably bumpy resulting in me feeling quite nauseous; but the biggest problem was that we could see hardly anything because of the way the vehicle roof is structured. In order to see anything at all, we had to sit bent double and even then our view was blocked by the low roof. For a sightseeing tour this is quite unacceptable and not a great way to spend 4 hours!
