Luis & Fernando were amazing! This is brilliant for couples or friends wanting a relaxing tour of Lisbon from the sea. Luis was an excellent captain and Fernando was an amazing personality as our tour guide. He was funny and made the trip really relaxing. Other boats passed us by speeding but Luis made sure we could relax and enjoy the complementary drinks whilst taking in the sites. 2h may sound like a lot but it sped by and was absolutely perfect. The view of all the sights was magnificent and the ending with 20m watching the sunset really cemented the experience. Please please enjoy this tour of Lisbon, you will not regret it at all.

The drive was comfortable and the guide was well informed and resourceful. Anything he didn't know he would look up or ask someone for us. His lunch recommendation was fantastic and we had enough time to get in a wine tasting in an Evora shop. If you are in Lisbon for more that 2 days, this is a day trip you shouldn't miss. It is laid back and full of Instagram moments. The sunset view alone was completely worth it!

It was an amazing experience. The crew - Pablo and Catarina - were really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. HIGHLY Recommend. Don’t miss it!

Great fun! Reasonable price, fantastic crew, second time we have gone with this company and will go again.

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