What to expect?
We do what no one else can, allowing you to explore Lisboa from land and river during a laughter-filled adventure that redefines the city tour experience.
Learn about the rich history and culture of Portugal’s capital in a fun and easily digestible way, while enjoying the thrill of plunging into the Tagus River “in a bus”… you’ll love it!
Prepare to be entertained by our lively animators, who will share myths, legends and curiosities during an entertaining ~90 minute show full of positive energy and passenger interaction.
It’s all about fun and laughter. Don’t expect a “traditional” sightseeing tour with a “traditional” guide, but rather a memorable experience that will leave you shouting out loud… “Hippo, Hippo, Hurra!!”
