WHAT MY GUESTS SAY

Real feedback from guests who explored Lisbon with me over the years.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Joao first toured us through Lisbon in 2019 when my family visited Lisbon. In two hours we could see an intimate view and hear stories of most of the historic neighborhoods of Lisbon. Joao is knowledgeable, gracious, and a fun host who evokes a pride of Lisbon you can only feel from a lifelong local, that he is. We have since toured with him 2 more times and sent numerous of our friends and family to do the same. I highly recommend booking a Tuk Tuk tour with Joao and do so early in your trip to set the foundation for the rest of your adventures in Lisboa.”
