Nice and clear information. At the start point you will find information about the departure times. You get a handy information folder with the routes and you can use an app. Routes are also very nice and handy that you can switch to a different color at some stops.

History of Lisbon! Our tour guide and driver was Abdullah. He was really very very nice and told and showed us everything. Even the places and sightseeing we did not know before. He explained everything clearly. He took pictures of us and was really awesome!!!

Red Line is well worth the cost. Blue line was not worth the time and expense. Good narration & sound. Clean bus.

It's a very comfortable way to get to know the city without getting tired.

Lots of buses available. Fairly clean and comfortable buses.
