Every year I come to Setúbal for holidays and my family and I always do the tour in Roaz do Sado and it's wonderful. The boat has many conditions, from beds to the bathroom, Mestre Jorge is very sweet and Ana is a very caring person, the food is wonderful with very high quality. It is a very well spent day and without a doubt one of the best days of my holidays.

Apesar de não ser de Lisboa e apenas residir na cidade, em quase 7 anos de residência nunca tinha explorado a mesma. Em bom português, nunca tive tempo para ser turista. A semana passada, entre férias, deparei-me com a CTTL em Belém, e pelo seu conceito um pouco diferente dos restantes em Lisboa, intrigou-me e decidi entrar. Quem me atendeu foi 5*, explicou-me o percurso e o que o bilhete incluía. Decidi ir, e não me arrependo!! O interior no autocarro, tal como o exterior, super moderno e giro, o café servido a bordo delicioso (e eu não sou amante de café), a pastelaria servida a acompanhar o café óptima e fresca e a música tipicamente lisboeta e portuguesa deu todo outro toque. Hei-de voltar para fazer o sentido contrário do percurso!! Obrigada CTTL Even tho I’m not from lisbon, in almost 7 years of living here I had never had the time to be a tourist. Last week, with some time off during vacation, I came across CTTL during a walk on the riverside Belém, and for it’s unusual and different concept I decided to approach them. The person who I spoke to, was top notch. Walked me through the route and what the ticket included. I decided to go and NO REGRETS!!! The interior of the bus as the exterior super nice and modern, the coffee served on board was great and the pastry served with it delicious and fresh. Also, the portugueses music you can hear during the entire route really does give a different touch to it all. I’m definitely going back to do the route the other way around!! Thank you CTTL!!!! Had a blast! :)

Board the boat at Terreiro do Paço, Cacilhas or Belém, and find yourself a comfortable spot on deck. From your vantage point on the water, gaze out over Lisbon’s colorful cityscape, spread across the steep hillsides that earned the Portuguese capital its nickname, “the City of the Seven Hills.” See the April 25th Bridge, Sé Cathedral and Castle of St George (Castelo de São Jorge), and catch sight of the twisting streets, Gothic cathedrals and brightly colored buildings synonymous with Lisbon.

We were in Lisbon for five days. After a couple of days of just wandering, we decided to take the yellow bus. We paid for three days which was 49 euros. It seemed alot of money but it was worth it. We spent one day on the tourist tram. We were the only two people on the tram, which was great. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to go along the whole route. It was fantastic as it took you all through the old town. We saw a couple of places we like the look of and so we then got local trams (included in the price of the yellow bus ticket) to head to one place (Graca) for lunch and then another tram to Estoril where there were some lovely gardens to just chill. The next day we took the purple line in the morning and then in the afternoon we took the riverboat cruise. Fantastic and really loved the river cruise. The final day we took the blue bus and saw a completely different part of Lisbon. You can do a 2 day option, I would definitely choose the tram and river cruise and then probably the blue bus.

Very poor, waited 2 hours for a bus this morning none arrived. So fed up with the service by this evening we took a taxi back to the hotel. You could buy a ticket with this company or instead take 30 euros from your wallet and set fire to it - the latter is less stressful
