What is better? Walking or TukTuk Tours?
Tuk-tuk tours in Lisbon provide a unique and comfortable way to explore the city. Among their advantages, they allow visitors to cover more ground in less time, making them ideal for those with tight schedules or who wish to avoid the city’s steep hills. Tuk Tuks also offer a panoramic view.
However, there are some drawbacks. Tuk Tuks may not access certain narrow streets or hidden gems that are best discovered on foot. Walking tours, on the other hand, offer a more intimate connection with the city, allowing visitors the freedom to stop, explore century old shops, and take in the details at their own pace.
Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preferences: tuk-tuks are great for convenience and comfort, while walking tours provide a deeper, more immersive experience.
Better than a private walking tour in Lisbon or a private tuk tuk tour in Lisbon, only a combo walking + tuk tuk tour combining the best of 2 worlds. Contact me if you are tempted to explore the opportunity and we can discuss the details.
