Review of Lisbon’s 2-hour Tagus River sailing cruise, with wine, snacks, sunset views, Belém, Cristo Rei, and practical meeting tips.
“I bought a trip for my family as a gift. And as a result, it was best decision ever! Our expectations were exceeded. Wonderful view from the river side cannot be compared with views you can see by walking inside the city. The tour orginizers are full of hospitality and kindness. We recieved information about historical places, Lisbon borders, and some abounded places. As a surprise we got wine and snacks to increase joy of trip. I strongly recommend this trip! It is worth each euro, and maybe price is even too low for such a wonderful service and emotions. This trip is must have for tourist! Thank you so…”
