«As the sun begins to set, the River Tagus offers one of the most beautiful ways to experience Lisbon. From the water, the city’s historic skyline unfolds before you, revealing its monuments, waterfront architecture and centuries-old heritage from a perspective that cannot be appreciated from the streets alone.»
Settle aboard for a relaxing 2-hour sunset cruise along the Tagus, where the atmosphere is peaceful, the views are spectacular and Lisbon gradually transforms beneath the evening light.
As we sail, you will be able to admire some of the city’s most important historical landmarks from the river while learning about the history and stories connected to Lisbon’s relationship with the Tagus.
It is the perfect combination of sightseeing, relaxation and discovery—without the pace of a traditional walking tour.

Frequently asked questions
1. Where is the meeting point and how do I spot the guide?
We will agree about the more convenience place. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure.
2. Lisbon is called the «City of Seven Hills.» How difficult is the walking on this tour?
This tour is a moderate physical workout! The first half of the tour through downtown (Baixa) is completely flat. However, to experience Lisbon’s oldest history, we must climb up into the Alfama district. The paths here involve steep inclines, slick limestone cobblestones (calçada portuguesa), and stone steps. It is not recommended for guests with severe mobility issues, heart conditions, or heavy strollers.
3. What should I wear for a walking tour in Lisbon?
The absolute most important thing to bring is shoes with excellent grip (like sneakers or hiking shoes). Lisbon’s famous white and black cobblestones are incredibly beautiful, but they have been polished by millions of feet over centuries and become extremely slippery—even when perfectly dry! Avoid flip-flops, sandals, or high heels.
4. Do we ride the famous yellow Tram 28 during the tour?
No, we do not ride the tram during the public tour. Because Tram 28 is part of the public transit system, it is often incredibly overcrowded, suffers from long delays, and is a hotspot for pickpockets. Instead, we walk the historic routes, allowing you to take beautiful photos of the trams passing by without the stress of the crowds.
5. Where does the tour end, and how do I get back down to the center?
The tour ends at a beautiful panoramic viewpoint (miradouro) in the upper part of the Alfama district. From here, you can easily walk downhill back to the riverfront (about 10 minutes), grab a cold drink at a nearby outdoor cafe, or catch the historic tram or a tuk-tuk down to the city center.
