About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mikedQ4482WL0 contributionsSintra!Pick up arranged by the Corinthia Hotel Lisbon but the Gray Line service dropped us back to the hotel (no taxi ride)! Sintra was beautiful, the visit to the Atlantic Ocean was incredible and the Estoril Coast was spectacular! Our guide was professional, knowledgeable and friendly!Written September 5, 2024
- rinetteg20180 contributionsFatima with Sofia our guideSofia our guide was excellent She was so good and showed us places that we’ve never been before. She gave us exact times and places so we never got lost. Brilliant and very memorable experience. The best guide ever in Sofia. Thank you so muchWritten September 4, 2024
- Gerald S0 contributionsDon't go!Crowded bis with poor air conditioning. Our bilingual guide was limited in what she knew, and mumbled when speaking, so we couldn't tell the Spanish from the English. The lunch was mediocre, we could have done better picking our own restaurant. Sintra castle was crowded, I felt like a hamster being herded through a maze. To be dropped at our hotel after the tour, we spent an additional hour on the bus. Overall, the worst touristic experience in 60 years of travel.Written August 27, 2024
- Hawaiiantraveler660 contributionsWas fine. Service provided was goodThe pick up at our hotel was very convenient and our driver was friendly. The ride was uneventful which was nice. Fatima was meh, shocked at the commercialism surrounding the site but read my review on that listing. The only (not really an issue) I had was trying to pay attention to while the guide was talking in the bus. Way too many languages. I speak fluent Parisian French and English. Couldn’t follow the speeches trying to figure out when French or English was going to start.Written August 26, 2024
- Adventurer7642010 contributionsHistorical monuments and sites in Lisbon!Our grayline cityrama tour was exceptional! Many historical and cultural sites and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided the tour in at least 4 languages. She was excellent!Written August 25, 2024
- D5629UPemmaf0 contributionsCompletely unhelpfulWe bought tickets for all the family for the red line in Lisbon, we stopped at the second stop of the track meaning to get the bus at the same spot. We reached the stop, and found the bus there, we asked the staff if we could get in but we were told to wait ten minutes and then we could have. While waiting, another bus of the same company passed through, honking but didn’t stop and continued its way to other stops. So we asked again the staff when the bus would be leaving and the answer was: this bus is only meant to sell tickets you have to wait for another one and wasn’t able to inform us on the time of the arrival of the next bus, mind you they didn’t even notice the first bus stopping buy and honking. We had to wait for more than half an hour in total and wasted lots of time, all under august heat. The only solution they were able to provide us was to walk all the way back to the starting point of the tour and ask for a refund.Written August 24, 2024
- B5591QSbiancal0 contributionsBus hop on hop offJulia was very patient and helpful answering all of our questions, offering us a variety of options and discounts. In terms of experience regarding the staff, she was wonderful. In terms of the bus experience (hop on hop off) it was nice but perhaps too hot in the upper deck. Everyone seemed a bit disappointed by that but in the future it could use some shade, overall, it was a good tour throughout the city.Written August 22, 2024
- 751barryb0 contributionsVery Bad TourDo NOT take this tour!! We did the Red (Belem/Lisboa) tour. We have done many hop on hop off tours in other cities and enjoyed them…this was awful, a complete waste of time! With the rich history of both Lisbon and Portugal, there is plenty to talk about. There was really no significant information about the history of the city or Portugal. However the audio consisted largely of bad elevator music as we drove by apartment houses. When we did go by an actual point of interest almost no information was given other than the name of the POI and perhaps the year it was built. As an example, we came past a point on the river where it was stated many of the famous Portuguese explorers departed from….wow, very interesting tell me more…which ones? Maybe some information about some of those explorers? Maybe an interesting anecdote from their adventures….NO! Nothing more! The only thing worse than one of these Lisbon tours is 2! (ie do not get the 2 tour “deal” !!)Written August 18, 2024
- patkenntex0 contributionsA fun day trip to another countryThis was a great trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Lunch in Santiago was first class. Visit to Valença on return journey was fun.Written August 17, 2024
- 715sportsfan0 contributionsIf you want to learn about Lisbon this is a complete waste of money .Terrible tour . No information about the stops or what you could see at them. No commentary as we passed statues and palaces etc. Next to no commentary at all , just lots of music playing in the earphones and the only comments there were could have be been written by an 8 yr old . ‘ museums are a great way to learn new things’ - what museum ??? would not recommend. Learnt nothing about Lisbon. Really disappointed.Written July 24, 2024
- Roving230730732390 contributionsa rather boring tripNot recommended for families with young kids. Although Evora is a nice quite old city, but highly recommend Coimbra (2 hrs by train) over it if you need a day trip out from Lisbon. The purple wines are not my cup of tea.Written July 24, 2024
- cyrushfernandes0 contributionsFull day trip PortoTour guide arrived 30 minutes late .. bad start The tour covers a lot of Porto and if you have 2 days it’s worth doing . Best aspect of the trip was the knowledge of the guide and the boat trip . Lunch included made the trip economical.Written July 18, 2024
- rockeyr5220 contributionsWonderfulWas an amazing trip our guide was very knowledgeable and the trip was well organised. Our driver was very helpful, he put aside our baby pram and got it out for us whenever we needed it. I wish we had got some more time in Fatima as it was the main reason we booked the tour. Overall it was wonderful experience.Written July 17, 2024
- RueRock0 contributionsDisappointingUsed the 48 hour 2 bus option. Headphones did not work & main attractions such as Belem Tower & Matt were bypassed (06/07). There appeared to be an event (euros?) but no communication that attractions could not be reached either on the bus or when purchasing the ticket. Public transport a better option for main attractions.Written July 9, 2024
- SuperData0 contributionsDeceiving., ' 'checking all boxes, but ending in the lower end'Penny pinching: offering same as counter-parties- though delivering minimal/consensual acceptable: Fatima: hunting down 'lunch included', but offering 'tourist price' (and obliging non-compliant party to comply) for 'lunch included' (BTW, had best Portuguese culinary experience just nearby- best bacal'hau ever- and it's 'considering my words'!!); Batalha: half hour -really?!- for one of Portugal's ' 'crown jewels' (min 1hr to 'soak in'); Nazare: downtown, unbelievebly dull from downtown. but (came back on 2nd Attempt/) stunning from uphill); Obidos: 1hr is ok, though nothing to get excited forWritten July 7, 2024

What a fun trip! Cristina provided a very educational and fun trip. Her deep knowledge of Portuguese and Catholic histories provided keen insights to the places we visited. The hotels during the trip were quite nice topped off with our final night at the exquisite Hotel Urgeirica. On a couple of occasions she shared her favorite gems of lunch restaurants.
Yes, we walked a LOT, and yes, it rained on us a couple of days. NO, these did not dampen our spirits at all! Our driver Pedro was friendly and very accommodating.
Our only regret: not realizing we could’ve booked Cityrama for our final day after the six-day tour.

We had plans to surf north Portugal by ourselves without any escort but people rarely speak English there. So we decided to take this tour and now we are completely satisfied.
