What a fun way to discover Lisbon! 💦 Me and daughter had such a great time on HIPPOtrip. Tomas was fantastic – funny, engaging and full of energy, and Claudio made us feel completely safe behind the wheel (even when our bus decided it wanted to become a boat! 😂). A big thank you to both Tomas and Claudio for making the experience so memorable. Seeing Lisbon from both the streets and the water was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended! 💛🇵🇹

Had a great time and enjoyed the castle. Was easy to order. If I had a criticism it took about an hour for the tickets to come through from the time we ordered them, our group felt that was a bit long for an online order. Usually tickets are immediately sent when ordered on line. Otherwise was a good experience.

Quick and easy service! Instructions easy to follow and using the app also very easy. Lots of choice for sights to visit in the area and saved standing in a very large queue! We ordered our tickets and went for a drink while waiting for them to come through.

The purchase was smooth and fast but beware that after purchase you might need to wait 2 hours before you get ticket. In my case i got them within 15 minutes. But the automatic email says it might be delivered in 2h.

At first it was a bit of a shock, because we received a message saying it could take up to 2 hours for the tickets to reach us. However, we got help via the chatbot, and within 10 minutes our tickets were available.

Very easy to access the castle without waiting in line and explore it without big crowds. The timing was perfect because, entering around 5:00 PM, we had the chance to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Discover Lisbon by road, river, and hilltop in one plan, combining a 90-minute Hippotrip amphibious loop with entry to São Jorge Castle overlooking the city.

Join a 90-minute non-stop amphibious sightseeing tour, with live commentary in English and Portuguese as you roll through the city and sail the Tagus River.

Visit São Jorge Castle on Lisbon’s highest hill, walk the medieval walls and towers, and enjoy panoramic views over the historic center and the Tagus River.

Keep things simple with one combo! Secure your Hippotrip slot and castle entry together instead of managing separate bookings and timings.

Ideal for first-time visitors who want a clear overview of Lisbon’s neighborhoods from the river and a classic castle visit in the same itinerary.

Very entertaining guy! He is very good at what he does. The "boat" part was great. The other part ok. Actually speaking in two languages obligates the guide to talk too quick (not his fault ofcourse as this is the "construction " of the trip). Overall, i think it is a bit expensive for what it offers.

The peacocks around the castle were really cool to see. There is considerable walking, as expected, within the castle with amazing views of the city.

It was easy to buy tickets, and we skipped the line at the ticket booth on-site. Recommended to save time and enjoy the sights more.

No waiting in line, beautiful view of the entire city :) You can explore the whole castle and all of its towers. Unfortunately, the museum was closed due to renovations.
