5A must do
The trip takes you to so many places. Had a couple of trips booked , to find we had already been there
5Great introduction to Lisbon.
Was a good touring experience with children!! Guides were very good with children and attended to their needs an behavior!
5Hippo Hippo Horray
This was a fantastic experience and FaFa was a real star. The tour was fun and informative and FaFa’s jokes were so bad they were good. The playing of the Titanic movie theme song as we entered the water was perfect. FaFa’s singing was so good, he could definitely enter the Eurovision Song Contest… at least for the UK! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a bit of light hearted fun whilst getting a tour of Lisbon. I am so sorry I forgot the driver/captain’s name, it was Muriel or something like that. Well done Guys… Hippo Hippo!
5best experience of lisboa
this was one of the best things we did in lisboa. our guide & driver, fafa&carlos, were incredible and super passionate. it was impossible for us not to laugh on this tour. fafa’s energy stayed highly positive and happy, whilst carlos drove the busy roads of lisboa smoothly. besides that, i have lost my bracelet during this tour, and the people working at hippotrip have gone out of their way to make sure it gets back to me. they are so amazing. would reccomend this tour to anyone and everyone. for any age aswell.
5Lots of fun and great way to see the city
Fantastic trip and great to see the city from both land and river. Our guide was brilliant, full of energy and information. Both adults and kids will love this tour
5A refreshing change to tours.
This is a uniquely different tour offering something a little bit different to other tours. You get a tour around the city as well as a short tour on the river all in one. The guides onboard kept the information flowing in multiple languages and kept it light hearted and fun with lots of jokes along the way. It’s a must do if you’re visiting Lisbon.

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
