Luis & Fernando were amazing! This is brilliant for couples or friends wanting a relaxing tour of Lisbon from the sea. Luis was an excellent captain and Fernando was an amazing personality as our tour guide. He was funny and made the trip really relaxing. Other boats passed us by speeding but Luis made sure we could relax and enjoy the complementary drinks whilst taking in the sites. 2h may sound like a lot but it sped by and was absolutely perfect. The view of all the sights was magnificent and the ending with 20m watching the sunset really cemented the experience. Please please enjoy this tour of Lisbon, you will not regret it at all.

A great yacht cruise, with very friendly and knowledgeable tour guides. We learned a lot of interesting facts and loved the scenery. The lovely wine was an added bonus!
