The voyage kicks off from the Santo Amaro’s Dock, leading us to the Praça do Comércio—among the world’s most spectacular squares. This vantage point offers stunning views of Lisbon’s historic districts: Chiado, Baixa, Castelo, and Alfama.

Beautiful was to experience Lisbon! - We thoroughly enjoyed our sailboat cruise! Teresa was very responsive and easy to communicate with prior to the cruise. The dock/marina was easy to find using her directions. We got to see Lisbon from the water, which was a fantastic viewpoint! We did this towards the end of our trip and it was fun piecing together where we had been during our trip from the water. Teresa explained sites we were passing with a historical tidbit and then left us to relax and enjoy the sail. The wine and cheese that was served was nice to enjoy as we enjoyed the sunset. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon!

Relaxing and beautiful tour! I recommend - Teresa and Pedro were extremely attentive. The boat was very well maintained, they offered blankets as we were in the bow of the sailboat and it got cold. The tour was beautiful and relaxing. Teresa gave us all the information beforehand on where to find them. I recommend!

Excellent way to end out vacation in Lisbon - It wasn't "true" sailing because they had to use the motor along with the sails, but we would not have been able to see as much if we had only been under sail power. It was fun to see the Monument of the Discoveries and Belem Tower from the river, and we saw many other points of interest. The tapas were yummy, and the guides were very happy to answer all our questions. Highly recommend!!

Great sunset trip with cheese and wine! - We really enjoyed the trip in the River Tagus with Pedro and Luisa who made it very pleasant. They offered us a cheese board and cool white wine which was very nice. We saw a great sunset and Luisa explained lots of curious facts about Lisboa and Cacilhas. 5 stars!

Wonderful sunset cruise - This was a lovely sunset cruise. Pedro and his female crew member (sorry I cant remember her name) were wonderful! Very were personable, and pleasant. There were only 10 passengers and we received excellent information and explanations along the way. I would highly recommend this cruise.

Any time! - We had a wonderfully relaxing boat trip on the Tejo with plenty of space on the boat and friendly company from the crew. The view from the water is great. You shouldn't miss it.

Sunset on the Tejo - The trip on the sailboat was very, very nice. We were greeted very friendly and punctually by Teresa. Then we set off in great weather and with a beautiful sunset on the Tagus along the coast of Lisbon. Teresa explained everything about the sights and interesting details. Cheese, ham, wine and beer were served during this. It really was 2 hours that we will never forget. We gave this tour to our friend as a birthday present and we will certainly always remember it fondly.

Life in motion on the Tagus - Incredible and necessary experience to get to know Lisbon completely. Guide Teresa's explanations about the tourist attractions are excellent. The attention given by Teresa and Pedro is unique. In addition to the beautiful tour along the Tagus, snacks and wine are served at sunset, giving the tour a special touch. I recommend it to every Brazilian visiting Lisbon. Watching the sunset over the Tagus is photographing life in motion!
