You taste ginginha, get bottled water and WiFi, and learn the neighborhood from someone who knows it well enough to skip the obvious and find what actually matters.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Alfama's main sights — the castle, cathedral, and Roman ruins — without navigating the maze alone, and you'd rather hear about where to eat from someone who actually knows the neighborhood than from a guidebook.
Private Sailing Catamaran Lisbon: 2-Hour Tejo River TourA 2-hour private sailing tour on the catamaran Scarlett takes up to 16 people out on the Tejo River to see Lisbon's main monuments and the city's waterfront.

Infants and children under 5 must be named at booking and wear a life jacket until the boat returns to dock.Is it for me?Book this if you're traveling with a group of friends or family and want to stay together on the water without a guide narrating every monument—the private boat and the skipper handling the sailing are what make that possible. The two-hour window works well for an afternoon that's free but not the whole day.
