HIPPOHIPPO HOOHAH!
Jul 2024 • Family
We recently visited Lisbon as a stop on our cruise and were looking for something to do. Having done the Hippotrip amphibious bus previously, I was delighted to see they did a HippoSpeed trip, so we booked. We were certainly not disappointed! Fausto was a hilarious guide, and Pedro the skipper was fantastic. 50 minutes of belting around the Tagus River impressed even the 12 year old who hates everything. 100% recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon.

Excellent trip, even if the weather was limiting in view.
Oct 2024 • Couples
Our trip today was good, but it was only the weather limiting what we could see and making it very warm in the hippo.
However - Sweetie was a fantastic guide, her and Carlos made the traffic and bad weather so much better. She was probably the best tour guide I've ever had!
The water part was so unique and a lot of fun, but the weather and traffic didn't help the lains part, but I would recommend anyone to go on this trip as the things in their control were excellent.

Best trip ever. Huge fun. Entertaining and informative.
Oct 2024 • Couples
We took this trip on October 30th with Nuria and Captain Carlos. It was fantastic.
Nuria is an incredible tour guide. She was fun, fun and then fun. The double act and bit of theatre with Captain Carlos was great. And we saw beautiful Lisbon from the land and water. Marvellous. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Fun, ideal for (big) children
Sep 2023 • Couples
Nuanced feeling about the experience.
You have to be tall or wear your backpack to see the buildings since you almost reach the 1st floor and you cannot move from your place for safety.
Huge traffic jams in Lisbon with a guide who didn't know how to make us wait while describing her city to us. For 1 hour it's a shame.
The experience on the Tagus by amphibious bus is really a great concept. That's great.

Very touristy activity.. But we love it!!!
Nov 2023 • Couples
Great way to discover part of Lisbon's history, including the reconstruction of the city after the disasters of 1755.
The driver (Paixão I think) was able to take us through a very narrow street in front of a bus, and the guide whose first name I unfortunately forgot (a ray of sunshine always smiling with short hair) was incredible, between Portuguese and English, she described everything she could to us, always with a touch of humor.
Yes it's touristy, but it's not a trap, I recommend +++!

Launch yourself into the Tagus
Jan 2023 • Couples
Amazing! The tour guid is sooo talented. He described the points of interest with so much animation and enthusiasm, but don’t believe everything he says 😜. The trip covers most of the points interest including the waterside attractions from a sea view. Just brace yourself for the launch with reminded me of a lifeboat launch!!

HippoSpeed trip is amazing
Jul 2023 • Family
The HippoSpeed trip in the fast boat was amazing fun. 100% recommend.
After a hot day walking the streets it’s a brilliant way to cheer up teenagers, but the adults loved it too. The tour guide was so energetic with just the right mix of interesting information and fun speeding along on the river.

Reserved via the website ticks.... I arrive at the meeting point... I am told that there is no place at the time I had booked... I am offered another schedule that did not suit me since I had to leave... the person tells me that they tried to reach me by phone..I never received a call neither a message nor an email...my children were disappointed because we passed buses and the activity seemed nice....

Ask for Gonçalo, he made even the first 40 minutes of the ride (before going in the river) great fun!! This is for adults too. Great opportunity to take gorgeous photos of the sites while on the river.
