This experience was amazing. I booked this as a team building activity for my work colleagues to help us bond and experience the city so if anyone is looking for a low maintenance activity that can get competitive, this is a good one. Our hotel was within the area as well so it was really convenient and simple getting around. Everything felt safe and simple to follow also. We had a really good time learning through the stories and exploring the city of Lisbon. I will say for parts of the game you have to go into some hotels or facilities to participate so be aware that staff may not know what you're doing. Just show them the game you're playing and they were happy to help. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Great car. Felt safe and secure. Fantastic guide. We were lucky to have the friendly and charming Joao guide us through the lovely Alfama area. We especially enjoyed viewing the street art and murals, and visiting his favorite local restaurants (the best recommendations!). Our little one says "Olá Tio Jo!"

The boat trip was romantic. You get a little bottle of wine(per person) and a platter of snacks. If you want more you can buy it at the bar. The sunset was amazing. If you want the best spots on top of the boat, make sure you are in front of the line.

Our winery tour with Carlos exceeded all expectations! He was a knowledgeable, fun, and organized guide. We all enjoyed the different parts of the tour and experiencing a little more of Portuguese culture. Highly recommended!!

We were picked up promptly by our guide, James! He took his time to explain everything and was very knowledgeable! A great day, thank you.
