Amazing, tuk-riffic tour with Goncalo!

5.00Get a tour with Goncalo! I rarely give 5 star reviews (stingy me) and this was a curve-buster! Goncalo knows a ton of Lisbon lore and we had a great time chatting about cultures in comparative context. He waited patiently at every stop for us to do the tourist photo thing. He'll take you to the best miradouro in the city (Senhora do Monte), show you the Lisbon Cathedral, and give the scoop on local mural-painters and hangouts like Pink Street. Although his company is called "Castles" and Waves, you'll learn that there is only one castle in Lisbon (makes sense--one ruler at a time) and you'll learn about Lisbon's ancient origins as well as its modern history with the 1755 earthquake up to Portugal's rejection of fascism in 1974. Foreign real estate investment has made affordability in Lisbon almost nonexistent, so please support local tuk tuk drivers. You'll be so glad you "tuk" a tour with Goncalo!
Fantastic Tuk Tuk Tour with Gonçalo!

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic experience exploring Lisbon by Tuk Tuk with Gonçalo. From start to finish, he was friendly, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so many interesting stories and insights about the city’s history, culture, and local secrets, all while keeping the tour fun and engaging. Gonçalo made sure we saw both the famous landmarks and some hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. His passion for Lisbon really shined through and made the tour unforgettable. If you’re visiting Lisbon and want a perfect mix of learning and fun, I can’t recommend a Tuk Tuk tour with Gonçalo enough! 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇳🇱 Sorry can’t add photo! Says file too big 🤷🏻♀️

5.00Amazing experience! He is so knowledgable! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He customized our tour to meet our specific needs and gave us a plethora of historical background that was fascinating. He also went above and beyond spending extra time as our hotel was quite far from the city center, but he wanted to make sure we didn't miss anything. This is not your average tuk tuk tour; this is an experienced guide who will make sure your experience in Lisbon is unforgettable! We highly recommend!

5.00We had the most incredible day! Goncalo was amazing!!! He is so knowledgeable, friendly and personable. We never felt rushed and he gave us tips and info that we would never had known if we had toured by ourselves. You’re doing yourself a favour by hiring him to take you around!
Excellent service, incredible historian with Portuguese passion.

5.00Goncalo was recommended to us by a group of Canadians ( from Halifax) and he did not disappoint! He was so accommodating and attentive to our needs. We had a very informative, historical, 3 hr tour. If you have interest in particular areas of the city, it would be best to discuss up front so you aren’t disappointed as time goes by very quickly.
