This tour is highly recommended on your first day in the city because you get to go around and explore most of Lisbon and then you can go back later and spend more time at the places you liked. A special thanks to Raffat who has a great knowledge about Lisbon and made this experience exceptional.

Nice and clear information. At the start point you will find information about the departure times. You get a handy information folder with the routes and you can use an app. Routes are also very nice and handy that you can switch to a different color at some stops.

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.
