Details

Step aboard a 90-minute amphibious tour of Lisbon that blends sightseeing, history, and lighthearted entertainment. Traveling in a comfortable vehicle designed for both land and water, you’ll experience the city from two unique angles in one seamless journey.

Your adventure begins on the streets, passing through Lisbon’s main highlights and lesser-known corners while guides share interesting myths, legends, and curiosities. This tour encourages passenger interaction, creating a lively atmosphere that feels more personal than a traditional sightseeing ride.

Then comes the memorable moment: with a splash, the vehicle transitions onto the Tagus River, revealing a wide panorama of Lisbon’s skyline. From the water, you’ll spot the monumental landmarks of the Belém area, closely linked to Portugal’s Age of the Discoveries.

Tours operate daily, rain or shine, and are available with guides in both Portuguese and English. It’s an enjoyable way to learn, laugh, and explore Lisbon from a fresh perspective.

Very interesting, fun and cultural activity with the humor and cheerfulness of our guide Douce. There was a very good atmosphere on the bus. We are French living in Portugal and we will introduce our little family to this activity. Big kisses to Douce.

I highly recommend Hippotrip in Lisbon! 🚍🛥️ The one and a half hour city and sea tour was an amazing experience, full of fun and great views. A huge thanks to our captain and our fantastic, funny tour guide Nuriya who made the trip so memorable. Perfect mix of sightseeing, history, and entertainment, definitely a must do in Lisbon!

It's okay, just that the guides keep talking the whole way, they're nice and they do their job well, and it's too childish, the tour is okay.
