About
I'm a former engineer with a 9 to 5 desk job. After retirement I drove tuk tuks during 5 years and loved every moment of it. Finally I felt the need to go in depth, to share the detail or the hidden gem in a leisurely pace not allowed in the tuk tuk tours, and the upgrade to the walking tours was the obvious choice.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Joao was an excellent guide. He knew so much about various aspects of Lisbon life. He loved the art and the architecture. He was also sensitive to his clients [ us] and spoke as often as he thought we wished. He gathered information about our likes and tailored the tour accordingly. He was patient [ while we took photos] and light hearted and knowledgable. He told us he has been giving tours of Lisbon for nearly 40 years. So ask for Joao!

I feel always touched by the kindness of my guests, but I have to correct this review. I'm giving tours from March 2019, this is a litlle more than 4 years. Sorry AnB-56 if I wronged you.

Having a tour with Joao is a must First he is as calm and present as a person can be. Than he brings the city to life in front of your eyes things makes more sense from that point on .
My friend anI took the two hours tour. Go and take it now.

We were lucky to find each other, my husband was on crutches and in Joao's tuk, we toured Lisbon, doing 2 beautiful routes and in a very comfortable way. Great knowledge of his city, he showed us around wonderfully, he even showed us restaurants where we had an early dinner and some exquisite dishes. Thanks, nice experience

Discovering the right side of Lisbon, going from Rossio to LX Factory, from Basílica da Estrela to the Parliament, from Bairro Alto and back to Rossio. A knowledgeable guide, presenting some funny historic facts from the areas we were promenading. Excellent use of our time

We were fortunate to take our first Tuk Tuk tour of Lisbon with Joao.
If you have not had the good fortune to tour Lisbon, Joao and his Tuk Tuk are the way to do one in style.
You will receive a mini history lesson that is not only informative but fun.
The Portuguese language is somewhat difficult but Joao’s English is excellent.

Also, the Lisbon hills can be exhausting and the tour makes those hills effortless.
What more can I say. Treat yourself. You will not be sorry.

Joao is a gem. My mother was having a lot of trouble going up the hill to our hotel some blocks away from where Joao was parked, so we asked how much for a ride there, and he quickly offered to take us at no cost and insisted we not pay him. He was kind and generous (everyone there was, but this was special).
I found him here and wish to pay him back at least in this way. Our flight was the next day, otherwise I would’ve definitely booked a tour with him. Hopefully there’s a next time and we do!

What an amazing way to see Lisbon. Joao was recommended to us by a couple that we met along our travels. We booked him for the last day in Lisbon. He showed us everything we didn't get to see. Has an awesome personality and really knowledgeable. This tuk tuk is the way to go.

Thank you so much ElleNY. I feel fully rewarded when I receive feedback like yours. Thanks for sharing your experience with potential guests of "O Tuk do João". I remember a tour with 6 (more people, more fun) and the opportunity to cover a lot of ground from Belem to Park of Nations, with many views and stories in between.

Jaoa was kind, funny, and very knowledgeable of the Lisbon neighborhoods. He had a special insight on street art which was fascinating!

Fantastic tour with very knowledgeable, informative, fun Joao (who is fluent in English). Best tour we could have done on our first day in Lisbon! Not only did we see the sights, but Joao also gave us the history, the context, and so many insights (including interpretations of the street art). The tour was very flexible, and Joao accommodated our preferences. Amazing, kind service… he picked us up where we were staying, and dropped us off at a different location. Joao loves Lisbon and made sure we not only saw the sights, but could identify them from a scenic view over the city. Contact Joao - You could not find a better tour guide!

An excellent way to explore Lisbon with the expert knowledge of Joao. He clearly loves his job and is proud of his beautiful city. Would highly recommend using his services.
