the meeting location is corner of square at the yellow bus kiosk. They will send you to the stop 50 metres away with the red tram sign. This is a great tour for seeing and learning the character of Lisbon through a audio guide in many languages and an antique red tram. It is about 90 mins on the tram, not a hop on hop off tour but that's not required as the audio is more than adequate. great tour with old fashioned transit, highly recommended

This was the perfect way to see the highlights of Lisbon in the short time we had available. Our guide Inês was very knowledgeable and so kind - she was able to answer all of our questions and provide us with historical knowledge as well as help us understand the current social and cultural aspects of life in Lisbon. We would highly recommend that you tour with her!

Amazing experience with the best captans Antonio and Miguel made our time unforgettable. The information and history about all the buildings and fun jokes that made us all laugh. We felt welcomed and appreciated the whole time.

Super fun! Guides were very informative and friendly, and we all learned a lot about both sailing and Lisbon history. Loved the views and the Portuguese wine, would highly recommend to all!

Excellent trip Made to feel very welcome Highly enjoyable
