I would definitely NOT recommend Yellow Bus Tours in Lisbon. We were waiting for a tour to commence as scheduled and after 15 minutes we were told the bus had problems with the audio system and that particular tour was cancelled. A tour operator asked us to return for a later tour at 5pm. We returned and waited a further... More

This just about works as an orientation tour but you have to be lucky and you have to work at it. We had to stand and so had no access to the earphone sockets for the audio guide. When we did get seats we found that our earphone sockets didn't work! We were 6 or 7 stops into the trip... More

Extremely bad experience. Headphones not working. Information too brief. Missing important historical buildings. No customer service. It is not worth it, AVOID it, I strongly advise you to choose a real official sightseeing bus tour in Lisbon. As a starting point, we (a group of 4 friends) were misled by a guy who was selling bus tours and river cruises... More

When we travel, we often use the hop on hop off bus tours. The Yellow Bus sight seeing tour was the WORST we have ever experienced. We bought 48 hour tickets. On one of the days, we waited for almost one hour before finding out that the bus would not be passing by the stop that day because it was... More

We paid full price tickets to find not all headphones worked - a consistent problem on each bus we used. Yellow Bus solution - share with fellow passengers. Audio quality was poor and content very limited. Don't bother complaining, staff not interested. Only benefit was able to use ticket on local buses and trams. We got more from following a... More

We have never awarded a mark of 1/5 but here is why. We bought 4 x 24 hour tickets at a total cost of nearly 60 Euro. Problem 1. As part of your bus ticket, you also in theory get use of the same companies traditional Lisbon Trams. We tried to get on them 5 times and they were always... More

An easy way to get to know the city. Hop on/off at many spots along the way. The best route was the tram tour -- areas we would not have thought of going on foot. More

I got the 2 day 4 hop on hop off tour option. The commentary was good - not so much that you felt like you'd heard too much and stopped listening and some nice fado music in between commentary. The buses weren't very often as it was low season, but if you stay on the bus for the whole trip... More
