It is often difficult to find things to do for the whole family, but this trip was perfect. About 90 minutes in duration, informative, but the pace changes enough to make it interesting for kids. Please do not expect a thorough tour of the city. The highlight is the water and seeing the sites from the water. We were worried as it was a foggy day but this did not impact the trip. The tour guides make it fun for kids and can answer any questions about Portuguese history. It was a bit difficult to find the place but trust your GPS. There is a parking lot right there but by foot you have to cross under a major road and walk through a couple of parking lots. We were not sure we were in the right place but it was exact. There is a bathroom there and small snacks available that you might want for the trip as you won’t stop on the trip. If it is a cold day, dress warm as the vehicle is not heated.

This is a fun way to visit Lisbon. Our tour guide Rita and driver/captain Nuno were lots of fun. Rita fed us information about Lisbon inserting fun facts and at times jokes about landmarks and historical figures. The information and fun continued as we transitioned from land to sea. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing! The tour guid is sooo talented. He described the points of interest with so much animation and enthusiasm, but don’t believe everything he says 😜. The trip covers most of the points interest including the waterside attractions from a sea view. Just brace yourself for the launch with reminded me of a lifeboat launch!!

The HippoSpeed trip in the fast boat was amazing fun. 100% recommend.
After a hot day walking the streets it’s a brilliant way to cheer up teenagers, but the adults loved it too. The tour guide was so energetic with just the right mix of interesting information and fun speeding along on the river.

The only worthy thing is that the bus is also a boat. Otherwise is just a bus or boat ride like all the others. It was boring for our kids because they don't speak English or Portuguese. Its too expensive, for what it is. Tuk Tuk ride is at about the same price and more interesting

Ask for Gonçalo, he made even the first 40 minutes of the ride (before going in the river) great fun!! This is for adults too. Great opportunity to take gorgeous photos of the sites while on the river.

This was one of our highlights of our trip to Lisbon. Host Fausto and driver Ubo were fantastic, and the views from the water were very special. For anyone arriving by cruise, the departure point is a 1 hour stroll along the water’s edge, or you can hire en e-scooter which was also fun and safe on the bike paths!

Super fun tour of the city and river with the kids, we all LOVED it. The host was hilarious! The reception team were super friendly and made check in really simple. The host took time to talk to all the group and make everyone feel super welcome.

We opted for the HippoSpeed and it was a brilliant way to see Lisbon. Thrilling experience, and at almost an hour, it was well worth the price tag. Jessica and David were excellent guides providing insight into Lisbon to punctuate the adrenaline fuelled speedboat ride. Overall it should be on any family's to do list when visiting this great city

Took a tour arranged through our cruise provider for when we docked in Lisbon.
From 9-12:00 we had a marvellous, enjoyable fun time. The informative guide (sorry his name escaped me but Mr Moustache covers it) and drive/captain David made the time with them one of the best tours we’ve done
