“This is an absolute must do if you are in Lisbon. Beatrice was the most fantastic, fun, informative, knowledgeable guide and we were very lucky to have her. Her extensive knowledge and clear passion for her home country shone through and made this a very interesting tour. It’s accessible for people who aren’t really fit - lots of stopping, plenty of photo opportunities, a chance to see Lisbon from a local’s viewpoint and knowledge, a tram ride, pastry and a coffee. It’s a definite must do.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10,378 reviews · 2 hours - 150 minutes · from $27

A Lisbon sunset boat party on the Tagus with DJ music and an open bar, passing key landmarks while you dance and meet people.

“SO MUCH FUN I wish I could do this every day of my life. It did take a while to get us all on the boat though and they ended up pushing back our departure 30 minutes so we still got a full 2 hours on the boat however I would definitely keep that in mind in case you are making a dinner reservation hour or something. Also our boat ended up departing at 6:30 and it was the perfect timing for the sunset in early October.”
