Lovely cruise - Lovely cruise along the Tagus, all the way to Belem and back. The 1h45 cruise is a very relaxing experience. Our crew (Inés, Paulo and Nuno) were super friendly!

Wonderful trip on the River - Great trip on a traditional boat. Marianne and the crew couldn’t do more to look after us. We were lucky that we were only a very small number and the trip still sailed. Lots of time to just relax and enjoy the views. Marianne would highlight the sights of particular interest and give a short history about them. Can’t fault the trip at all a great way to see the sprawling city of Lisbon. Fabulous afternoon trip on the river getting to see the city from a different angle is always good.

A timeless moment - We (my 14 year old son and I) enjoyed this little getaway on the Tagus. The boat is lovely and very comfortable, the visit just long enough to see everything and enjoy it well and not too much to not find the long time either. Mariona regaled us with her explanations and everyone was caring for everything to go well. I highly recommend this experience!

Really great trip for an activity with work colleagues - We had a fantastic trip with Mariana and Igra, the guide int was insightful and covered four languages, the meeting point was clear and the ride was really smooth. Really glad we went for this rather than the large ferry-like tours that look really crowded. Loved the Fado music playing in the background. Would recommend!

Wonderful time! - It was amazing! So much fun, so relaxing, and our guide Ines made it so interesting! All the crew was super nice and very welcoming, and we had a blast! When you do it (and you should!) make sure to bring sunscreen and be ready to have an awesome time!
