Great tour - discovering Lisbon with views from the earth, the sea and the air! Jorge was a cool guide, providing a feel good atmosphere while he shared exciting facts about Lisbon‘s history. Our highlight was the helicopter flight to the famous bridge! Highly recommended!

Nice and clear information. At the start point you will find information about the departure times. You get a handy information folder with the routes and you can use an app. Routes are also very nice and handy that you can switch to a different color at some stops.

Red Line is well worth the cost. Blue line was not worth the time and expense. Good narration & sound. Clean bus.

Several visitation options and access to any public transport is something exceptional.

Super processing, nice people who also advise you.
