Review of Lisbon’s 90-minute Tejo River cruise, with Belém views, onboard snacks, practical tips, accessibility, and honest value advice.
“We were really blessed with the weather so the trip was perfect. The boat turned at the main points of Belem Tower and the statue of Christ. We had a full boat including two groups of students but it didn’t feel like it. Prices of refreshments also seemed fair. One thing that I think could have been made better was the information screens. Maybe due to the sunny weather but were hard to read if you were under the canopy (to be fair I do t think many people took notice of them as the sights were amazing. Staff were very friendly, was very easy to find via the link…”

Cruise Lisbon’s Tagus River in a hand-painted 1947 cargo boat, with city views, live commentary, and excellent value in 45 minutes.
“Centrally located (just down from the main square) this was an excellent way to wind down a day sightseeing. Easy to book, easy to check in and lovely traditional craft to transport you round the inner bay of the Tagus to see all the views of old town Lisbon (with a cool glass of very quaffable Portuguese wine). The crew and commentary was excellent (multilingual) - they look after you. Highly recommended”
