The sunset sailing cruise was our favorite thing we did while visiting Lisbon! Benny was great about sharing the historic highlights of the area and the scenery was beautiful, seeing the city of Lisbon from the water at sunset was magnificent. My husband and son are also sailors and were given the opportunity to sail the boat for a bit, so fun! Highly recommend taking this cruise while in Lisbon as you’re sure to enjoy it. The tour was exactly as described. We had a 2 hour sailboat ride around the river at sunset. Occasionally the tour guide would offered interesting facts about Lisbon, but we spent most of the time enjoying the music from the boat and taking in the sights. We were offered one drink each. They had both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. It was very cold! Dress warmly.

The tour guides were great! It was quite windy, they had blankets available. It was a great way to see the city as well as just enjoy the sunset. However there was one cloud in the sky and it covered the sun for most of the actual sunset! It really was lovely, you should do this!!

We had a wonderful time. The boat ride was calm and the sunset was beautiful on the river. The guides did the right amount of talking, while also letting us enjoy the moment in peace. The glass of wine was a nice touch. Our whole group was SO HAPPY we decided to do this while in Lisbon. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Alex, was fantastic! He let us enjoy the views and the ride but also added a lot of interesting facts about Lisbon. He clearly knew what he was talking about. We did the 9:30pm tour and severely underestimated how COLD it gets on the river at night. Being a jacket!! Alex gave us a blanket, but it was very chilly. Overall a nice, relaxing way to get views of the city.

It was a perfect evening. The caption and the crew were excellent. It was the best thing I did on my trip to see the light ms of the city reflecting on the water and a perfect moon. I asked my boyfriend to marry me and he accepted. So this will always have a special memory for me.

Had a great sunset ride with Beni and Rui. We only had a day in Lisbon so this was a great way to see and learn about the main sites from the water. Appreciated that this was a small (~12) group activity and the offered blankets! Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were provided (Having local drink options would’ve been better)
