Sara was amazing-friendly,funny and so knowledgeable.She answered all questions and was keen to engage with everyone on the group. I highly recommend this tour if it’s the first time to Lisbon.Thanks Sara

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

It's a very comfortable way to get to know the city without getting tired.

Lots of buses available. Fairly clean and comfortable buses.
