Additional Information

Lisbon, or as we fondly call it, Lisboa, is a bustling city, a busy port, and above all, the capital of Portugal. It’s a city that sings to the tune of Fado music, narrates tales of maritime adventures, and is adorned with vibrant, cobblestone pavements. Lisboa hides a treasure trove of intriguing facts and secret corners that you simply cannot afford to overlook!

Lisboa is one of the oldest capitals on the European map, even predating Rome. What sets it apart is the presence of both a river and a coastline within its city limits. The city is a fine blend of traditional values, ancient chronicles, cutting-edge innovation, and lively cultural pursuits – and you have us to guide you through this incredible journey!

Embark on a day trip adorned with historical snippets, engaging storyteller’s anecdotes, fascinating facts, entertaining trivia, and of course, breathtakingly beautiful vistas. Lisbon is beckoning, let’s scale its magnificent seven hills together.

A nice day in Lisbon with Wonder Van - We had an amazing tour in Lisbon with our guide LUIS and the day was more than interesting and pleasant with him (despite the difficult weather conditions). We visited a lot of places, hear nice info and had time to see, take pictures and discuss. Luis is a kind and interesting person, very experienced in Lisbon and he helped us very much by suggesting us destinations and things to do for the rest of our trip. Wish we see him again for another tour (in Sintra this time with the Jeep) as we discussed! Cheers to Wonder Van for being so well organised, being on time, with a nice car and nice guide! Definitely nice choice!

LISBON IS MORE THAN A CITY. IT IS A FORCE OF SURVIVAL, A TRUE WONDER OF HUMANITY! - Our introduction to Lisbon was an unforgettable experience brought to life by Tomas, our guide. Not only was he knowledgable and informative, but he shared fascinating and personal stories with us that gave us a better understanding and appreciation for the Portugal as a welcoming country, Lisbon as city of survival and renewal, and the Portuguese as a people who are friendly and courageous. Tomas answered every question, took multiple photos of us, and told us the sun would eventually come out (and it did) to end a day filled with lasting memories. Peter and I (Phyllis) are grateful for the extra time he spent with us, the great advice he offered, his excellent driving skills, and the fun time he provided with anecdotes that made us laugh and made us cry! Thank you thank you thank you WONDERVAN TOURS for this WONDERful introduction to Lisbon. We had a private and safe tour, never to be forgotten.

Excellent - The whole experience was great. Gui was a friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable guide! Not to mention his skill at navigating traffic and the narrow streets of Lisbon. We learned a lot about the history of Portugal but also about some of the challenges of modern life in Lisbon. Highly recommended!

Great city tour; great guide! - We were so fortunate to have Tomas Silva as our guide for this tour. Tomas picked us up at our Air BnB right on time ( he likes to even be a bit early!) and from our first few minutes it was obvious that this is a young man who is an excellent communicator and passionate about his work. His English is impeccable and he checked in immediately with us to gauge what we hoped to get from the days tour. He then proceeded to turn a wet cold windy day into a memorable experience. Of course we saw all of Lisbon’s most famous sites, but we also learned so much about the country’s history as well as local customs and culture. Tomas was eager to answer questions and share personal anecdotes about his life in his native country. He maneuvered that van skillfully through Lisbons myriad of streets and neighbourhoods. He gave us a choice for lunch stops and adapted our itinerary to the weather conditions. We would highly recommend WonderVan’s Tour of Lisbon’s Wonders and encourage you to ask for Tomas Silva by name. You will not be disappointed!

Great guide for your tour of Lisbon - My friend and I had Tomas all to ourselves for a full day of sightseeing through Lisbon. The weather was foul (periods of heavy rain and high winds), but Tomas amended the day accordingly. We had more time in the van, but had access to a guide with a major in history and a mastery of English, which made our experience rich and informative. We saw all the highlights of the city. Highly recommend.

Tomas the best tour guide in Portugal - You must ask for Tomas for your tours in Portugal. His knowledge, professionalism and personality is by far the best of any tour guides that I have experienced. We learned a lot about the history while having a blast with Tomas.

Great. Lisbon tour with Tomas at Wonder Van - We had the most remarkable tour with Tomas today exploring the Wonders of Lisbon. Tomas shared the culture, history, and was so knowledgeable about everything. His attention to detail and his consideration for his clients is superb. So superb that we booked another tour with him on Thursday.
