While the bus tours where... - While the bus tours where as expected, the boat cruise was by far the highlight. The boat ride was the ideal way to see all the Lisbon Tejo/Tagus highlights, get great photos, and beat the heat in the summer.

Just fantastic, take your time, it’s hot in Lisbon in the summer, bring a hat, water and suntan lotion - It’s was a great experience! Lots of busses and plenty of room, employees are super nice. Would do it again

Plan before going - What was great about the bus tour was how thorough it was. The tour went through so many of the different neighborhoods and we could easily see how Lisbon has 3 million people. It’s not just about old town. However, my one serious critique was the lack of communication when we wanted to know how to access the boat. It wasn’t clear and our first bus driver had no interest in helping us out. We thought we were able to get off at Belém-Maat and so we did but we would have had to wait almost 3 hours for the boat. There was a much better option but we didn’t know that. We ultimately figured it out, somewhat by chance, and really enjoyed the cruise on the water. Overall, it was a lovely day but we felt it lacked some clarity. On the buses there is not someone to help guide or even necessarily how to get off. But the comfort and the length of tour is excellent.

Very good ride - Good visit that allowed us not only to contemplate the beauty and architecture of this beautiful European city but also to learn its history

Bad service - They advised us wrong. The second day was a national holiday, April 25, and we were not warned that half the lines would work and malfunction and that they left from another street (we lost more than half an hour). They didn't even know it at all the information points.

Bad and unpleasant moments - Too bad... the drivers removing a girl the rest rude and ill-mannered because they did not stop at their corresponding place unless you. On one occasion not seeing him slow him down, we stopped two metres ahead and he wouldn't open the door. And it was quite common for them to do so because we could check it live when we were riding in the transport. We only agreed with a super nice and very correct driver who also indicated that they should stop if.o yes. In Porto we got on the red bus and it turned out better. Deduct yourself

Misrepresentation - The bus tour was fine with a nice commentary and not too busy . However the river cruise was badly misrepresented and the boat was nothing like the picture shown on the details page, in fact it couldn’t be described as a boat! Open sided , rusty seating area , no facilities ! Pity I can’t leave a picture ! Very disappointing !

⭐ 1 Star – Absolutely Terrible Yellow Bus Experience - We rode the Yellow Bus on November 23, 2025, and our experience was nothing short of infuriating. We paid full price for the 2-day Hop-On Hop-Off ticket, including the Purple Line for Modern Lisbon, only to be left stranded for over an hour at Stop #2 with zero buses in sight. Not one. For an advertised scheduled service (ervery 30 min), this is unacceptable. We called customer service, and their response was useless — no updates, no solutions, nothing. We then spoke to the rep at Stop #1, who just repeated, “It’s coming,” even though clearly it wasn’t. This completely derailed our day’s itinerary and made the entire ticket feel like a waste of money. Yellow Bus needs to fix its scheduling or stop selling tickets for services they clearly cannot operate. We will not be recommending this company to anyone visiting Lisbon. On top of that, another couple at one of the other stops had a similar complaint. We saw many more City Sightseeing busses before we even saw one Yellowbus.

Viator was less than... - Viator was less than helpful when attempting to switch my day for the ride. Initially I was told it was sold out for the day I wanted to switch to, then I was told that my only course of action was that viator could attempt to reach out to the tour operator to see if they would allow the switch. I was also told that if viator did this, there was guarantee I would get a response. Additionally I contacted the tour operator through the viator app to request a switch. This was around 11am… in the app it noted that I should receive a quick reply… I did not receive any reply until after 3pm… the bus stops running at 5:30.. so my family and I lost an entire day.. including the boat ride which we planned to take on the Monday I wanted to switch to since they only offer the ride on Mon, Wednesday and Friday..we had an all day excursion planned for Wednesday and leave from Lisbon on Friday. A side note.. when the tour operator responded back.. they let me know it wasn’t a problem to switch and apologized for the delay.. but the apology fails to make up for the day we lost.
