On asking Diogo for a restaurant recommendation he called a friend of his who owns a wine bar and restaurant and got us a table for afterward the boat trip which was so fantastic. 10/10 experience. You get a welcome drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) plus they play music and provide blankets if you get chilly!Read…”

Benny is a biologist by background and she shared so much information about the history of Lisbon and wove in great details about the environment. This has become a favorite activity of ours when visiting Lisbon. We highly recommend!”
