We had a wonderful time. It was good fun. We had animator Ines and driver Carlos. Driving such a vehicle safely through a busy city is not easy. Schedule was as planned. We had our small dog (5kg) with us. She had to stay in a closed bag under the seat and we had to sign a paper saying, in case of emergency on the water, we had to leave the dog behind. So better not take your dog.

Tour of Lisbon on dry land. Ana told us lots of information about the city, in English. Much more Portuguese spoken than English, though. Jolly demeanour overall. The splash into the river was fun. Very enjoyable. The seat that I was in was quite uncomfortable due to part of the metal fabric of the craft protruding.

Excelente! O tour é iniciado como ônibus pelas ruas de Lisboa, assim temos uma visão geral da cidade e depois podemos visitar os pontos com calma. Depois, o ônibus entra nas águas do Rio Tejo, permitindo uma vista excepcional dos monumentos que estão à margem do rio.
