What people are saying about Lisbon

My friends and I had a great experience with Diniz during our tuk tuk tour! He provided us with a history lesson of Portugal and gave us all the important information we were looking to learn about. Diniz was very kind and kept us safe throughout the tour. We would definitely do this again and recommend Diniz as a tour guide to our friends and family!

Andre was a great guide in helping us make our pasteis de nata! He helped enough to make sure everything went well but was hands-off enough to make sure we had made our own product. He also explained all of the steps and why we did what we did. The cakes were tasty and we went home with several leftovers!

Great time, we loved it! The boat captains were also wonderful. Would highly recommend! -John

On time, beautiful views and excellent service, totally worth it!

It was a very nice trip during the sunset. Highly recommended!
