Considering a tuk tuk tour in Lisbon? The whole family is welcome in this fun and safe activity.
The world behind “O Tuk do Joao”
“O Tuk do Joao” is offering private tuk tuk tours in Lisbon from March 2019. Since I retired from my desk job I keep sharing my passion about Lisbon with hundreds of guests from all parts of the world. The immense kindness received in the form of feedback is the fuel that keeps the tuk tuk up and running.
The main purpose of our tuk tuk tours consists in giving guests the best possible usage of their time, in a fun and relaxed way. The tours are not only about what we are seeing from the tuk tuk but also about many other things you may see and explore in the next days.
Scrolling down you may find my offer in Lisbon and Belem areas. If the offer of standardized tours does not fit what you have in mind, tell me what is your idea.

Tour 1 – Old Lisbon
The tour performs the magic of changing visitors into locals (hopefully not too much) in just 75 minutes. You just have to sit down, listen to me saying the hocus-pocus words and when you leave the tuk tuk you’re completely versed about Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors and Crusaders who shaped Alis-Ubbo in the last 30 centuries, the main influences of each one and the must-see attractions in old town.
The tour includes many picturesque details of Alfama, Mouraria and Graça districts.
Total Duration : 1h15m

Tour 2 – Belem
Belem district is a must see for any visitor of Lisbon. In opposition to the hills of central Lisbon, Belem is the flat area by the river where the UNESCO world heritage sites can be found. This tour is designed to blend sensations, the old and the new, the formal and the picturesque, the weight of history and the lightness of street art .
Total Duration: 1h45m
