Not really what we...
Not really what we expected. We booked a 3 hr tour but were only able to complete 1 hour of it. The car completely shut down on us twice and we had to remove keys and restart the car. That caused the audio to go out of Bluetooth and the only way to reconnect was a password protection so only staff may do so. We could no longer hear the audio. We ended the tour after the second shut down because there was no point and we couldn't hear from the tablets audio. The seats were extremely uncomfortable. It didnt seem like the car was made for cobblestone roads and would make loud banging sounds on the rocks. Overall not a great experience. Staff was nice though, so no fault to them.

Worth It!
Awesome experience! I love that they had different routes. The tour was very informative with plenty of spots to take in or stop and take a picture. A great way to start your trip in Lisbon and get to know different neighborhoods. Highly recommend!

I don’t recommend
I feel like the cars are not made for tall people (I’m 170cm), it was horrible trying to fit my legs, driving was impossible. I could barely walk when I stood up at the viewpoint because I was hurting so bad. Their cars are not practical ! I could not seat all the way back because the car would beep, you have to be exactly in the middle of the seat for it to stop. We were in front of the shop at the beginning of our tour, when I pointed that out the guide suggested to give me a pillow that I never had. The seat SHOULD be adjustable considering every body is different. I expected more as of the visit and the 2 spots we went to. Our car had broken down halfway through our time, I was around 4Pm, it just wouldn’t start. ( the motor voyant was orange and wouldn’t go away even after turning on and off the car ). The car had to be taken to the mechanic and we had to wait for his colleague to bring us another car. ( we went shopping at the souvenir boutique down the city in the meantime ) The new car was so different than the first one. On top of the problem with my seat, the windshield had a line so my vision was restricted. My friend tried to sit at my place to understand and she said she would absolutely could not drive because of how difficult it was. It was so unfortunate this could’ve been an enjoyable experience in Lisbon. When arrived I tried to give feedback, the guide asked us if we needed to use the restroom and that we could talk after, when we got back in the front he offered us a plant as a gift and ignored my request of having a conversation about what happened during our activity. We paid 125€ for this, it is very over priced I do not recommend so I ask for a refund !

Best customer service
Great day! From the friendliness of the staff, to the process from a to z, to the communication throughout our day these people are wonderful and we would recommend them any day to anyone! Cars were great to drive, not that comfortable haha, but we stopped at a few tourist places which helped take a little break from the cars. We had a little incident with taking a wrong turn with the little cars (we had 3 cars) and when we called the operator to explain, they were the best to deal with! We also had an issue with one of the car upon leaving and we turned around and they made sure we got another better functioning car no questions asked. You can tell they take pride in making sure it's a great experience all around. Exceptional customer service all around for them.
Response from the operator: Hello Natasha, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic day with our team, from the friendliness of the staff to the smooth communication throughout your tour. We’re glad that even with a few car hiccups, our team could quickly sort everything out and make sure your adventure went perfectly. It’s wonderful to know you felt well taken care of and that you would recommend us to anyone! Providing fun, high-quality tours and memorable experiences is what we strive for, and your kind words truly make our day. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure in Lisbon! Warm regards, Boost Portugal

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car cost?
+
Prices start at €25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 206 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car?
+
Around 72 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Self-Drive Sightseeing Tour in an Electric Car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
