It was an amazing experience, worth every euro, and it's not expensive in my opinion compared with most other tours The guide has a lot of knowledge about Lisbon and Portugal as a whole, the views are incredible, the bridge 25 de abril and the Belen tower as well An advice i give you , bring a coat and a scarf, it can get cold with the wind blowing.

DO THIS ACTIVITY! It was so much fun. Our sailors, Luis and Fernando, were two of the loveliest people we've met. They were so much fun to hang out with, they told us many great facts about Lisbon, and overall made our experience joyful and fun. We'd give 10 stars if we could!

A very nice trip. The two tour guides organised everything very nicely, introduced us to portuguese history and traditions. The wine was very tasty and the blankets during the windy times came right in time. All in one a recommendable experience with Miguel and Federico.

Completely amazing and more than i could have asked for. The guides Fernando and Miguel were experts and really made the experience. Ill be returning just to see them again.

Great trip, our team was excellent, boat was spotless and we would highly recommend. Good value.
