Great tour and driver - We booked a 2 hour for 2 people and service was great in exchanging emails regarding our personal requests. Very prompt and courteous. The driver picked us up at our hotel and he was very pleasant and gave ample time to take photos and even walk about certain sites. Highly recommend.

Perfect for a cruise stop with two kids! - We were a family of four traveling with two kids. After researching a number of tuk tuk companies (overwhelming as there are so many!), I chose I Took a Tuk Tuk. Communication with Adriana was excellent from the start. She was quick to respond and answered all my questions. I even made an error with the date and she fixed it no problem at all. Leading up to the day of the tour, we received communication from Adriana with details of the pick up and then the morning of from Savio our guide.
Savio was AMAZING! So great with us and our two kids. We traveled to Belém to try pastels de nata and Savio got us right in without needing to stand in the long line. He knew the staff well enough to bring us to a back area to watch the pastries being made and then it was a short wait for us the purchase our pastels. After that we stopped at more sights in Belém for pictures and some history. I was honestly the perfect balance to give us a taste of the city in short 2 hour window. We never ever felt rushed by Savio. We ended about 20 minutes past the two hour mark, but not once did Savio make things awkward and bring that to our attention. He dropped us off in the main square at our request and we ended the day as a family sampling the local cuisine and wandering the through the shops.
It was honestly the absolute perfect day in Lisbon due mostly to Savio and the lovely weather too. Thank you Adriana and Savio!!

Great Way to See Belem! - Our guide was wonderful and provided us with plenty of historic facts related to the Belem district. We thoroughly enjoyed going to the pastry shop as well. It was a short tour but I would recommend it for those of you who have only a short time in Lisbon.
