“We were staying 2 minutes from bus stop No.1 and each time we went to get a bus there was always one about to set off. Tickets were bought online and quickly validated by the representative. We had a 72 hour pass and used it every day to visit the old and new areas of Lisbon. The audio guide was very informative and clear. The drivers were very skilled in navigating the narrow, hilly, winding streets of Lisbon.”

“My husband and I find hop on hop off tours very helpful and have done a number of them. This was our worse experience and wouldn’t suggest it to anyone. The bus driver would give very little time for the passengers to get on or off. The passengers wouldn’t be seated or up the stairs and it would take off. Wanting to get out was a joke if you were on the top level because you couldn’t get down the stairs fast enough. Our driver was talking loudly on the phone the entire time we were on the bus.”

The bus was clean and comfortable and the representative was helpful as you board. We did both the pink line and the blue line and much preferred the blue line. Only negative was there wasn’t enough narration and too much music. It was a great way to see the city.”

We had a multi-cultural group, representing, Brazil, Spain and the USA, and Ingo (from Germany) was the PERFECT guide! He was so knowledgable about all things Lisbon, from history, to culture, to social life. Ingo introduced us to many placed we woud never have found otherwise.
