Follow the Tram 28
Description
Tram 28 is a Lisbon classic, famous for its scenic route through the city’s hills, narrow streets, and historical neighborhoods. But with the surge in tourism, the reality often means long queues and crammed carriages—far from the charming ride you imagined.
That’s where we step in. Our Tuk Tuk Tour: Follow the Iconic Tram 28 Route offers the same picturesque journey, but with comfort, flexibility, and a private touch. No crowds, no stress—just you, your companions, and a knowledgeable local guide.
This tour mirrors the famous Tram 28 route while adding something extra: personalized stops, insider tips, and time to truly enjoy each landmark. From Alfama’s winding alleys to Graça’s colorful streets, from the stunning Lisbon Cathedral to the lively Chiado and Bairro Alto, you’ll see the very best of the city in a way the tram simply can’t offer.
Travel in an eco-friendly electric tuk tuk and feel good knowing your adventure leaves zero carbon footprint. And the highlight? Our guides. They’re not just drivers—they’re storytellers who share Lisbon’s history, culture, and hidden gems with passion and humor. Want to know where to find the crispiest pastel de nata or the best sunset viewpoint? They’ve got you covered.
Discover Lisbon the smarter way—comfortable, sustainable, and unforgettable.
