Full description
Enjoy a guided boat trip in the historical heart of Lisbon, along the River Tagus. Discover Portugal's 18th century history as your guide and sailor shares informative commentary as your cruise down the beautiful river.  The 45 minute cruise begins from the Terreiro do Paço River Station. You will see from the river the wonderful landscape of the historical city center, passing by Commerce Square, Sao Jorge Castle, Alfama, National Pantheon and Santa Apolonia Station. On the return, sail through the middle of the river to observe the enchanting hills of Lisbon and from a distance, the grandeur of the 25 de Abril Bridge and Christ the King. The tour is in a traditional and unique 1947 sailing cargo boat with capacity for 50 people. The boat is decorated in warm tones and numerous hand-painted flowers, that give a touch of charm and authenticity. In the late 1960s with the introduction of road bridges, these vessels entered into disuse and of the thousands of boats that existed only about 75 survived, duly registered in the Marinha do Tejo, living part of Portuguese Navy Museum. Experience a river cruise on this truly unique piece of history.

Booked for 45min, stayed for almost an hr. Guide spoke english very well, as well as spanish, portoguese and french, and took the time to provide explanation in each language. Even when not talking about something, she took the time to go around and talk with the passengers and spend time with us.

It was a wonderful experience. The trip started right on time and the guide was very knowledgeable! They even offered us blanket us as was little chilly which is a very nice gesture! It’s absolutely worth the money to see the beautiful Lisbon city and to know it’s rich history!

Me and my friend went on a 45 minute trip which was just enough time on the windy river. The guide was talking just enough about the most interesting parts of Lisbon history and culture. We were also given the opportunity to take pictures on the boat and walk around and look for ourselves. Thank you for a nice afternoon trip!
