The tram and bus tours are all great - We had the ticket for 48 hours, unfortunately the boat tour didn't begin operating until the day after our ticket expired - read all the times & details carefully!! I recommend the Lisbon 4-in-1 and I would buy again if returning to the city as there is so much to see.”
