I got this card at noon on Saturday, and used it until the next day at noon time and it was the best choice to make as I can enjoy many famous destinations in Lisboa and use the transportation (including the famous Tram 28) to those destinations with no charge.

The boat trip was romantic. You get a little bottle of wine(per person) and a platter of snacks. If you want more you can buy it at the bar. The sunset was amazing. If you want the best spots on top of the boat, make sure you are in front of the line.

The guide did everything right. Funny. Sharp m amusing. Made everything so much more enjoyable. This activity is a must.

Best boat trip ever, I really recommend it Out providers were reallyyyy friendly and kind

It was fab - our guide was amazing. Free flowing wine too,
