A tour with Joao is Whoa (that's so cool)!
A supremely safe, clean and comfortable ride around the beautiful city of Lisbon. Stops at tasty treats, beautiful vistas and sites. He tailored our tour to what we had and had not seen yet. Joao ensured my injured foot was taken care of and made sure the terrain wasn't to steep for me. He took us to a flea market where I found the best anniversary present for my husband. He's very tall and easy to find in a crowd. He is smart, funny, knowledgeable about his native city and engaging.

Amazing
I really enjoyed the tour—Joao was wonderful. He made sure our desire to truly see and experience the city was fully met. He was incredibly patient and took his time with us, never making us feel rushed. It genuinely felt like he loves what he does and isn’t just doing it for the money. His passion made the experience even more special. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Sidy, for your visit and for your presence in this experience. Hope the rest of your trip ran smoothly!

Book with Joao..You won't be Disappointed!!
We had the best driver...Jaoa.t He was only very young, very courteous, very knowledgeable and a great driver. His car was immaculate, he was dressed very well and went out of his way to find close parking at the places of interest.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats) cost?
+
Prices start at $86 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 Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours 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 Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats)?
+
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 Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats)?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats) 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, Escape Hunt Experience. 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.
What is included in Old Lisbon: Guided Tour (Polaroid Pictures & Treats)?
