  • “Une belle manière de découvrir les points importants de la ville avec un guide local qui parle bien Français, et c'est plutôt rare. Transport confortable malgré les pavés de la ville, astuces et points de vue sympa. Bonne adresses communiqués par notre guide pour la suite de notre périple, un vrai plus. Encore merci Francisco !!”

La visite de la capitale ainsi que la dégustation des Pasteis de Belèm a été une expérience unique et mémorable que nous recommandons vivement. Le conducteur quant a lui parlait très bien le français et a fait preuve d'une grande sympathie.”

WHO WE ARE

A small Lisbon company, not a fleet

Chico Chico Tours is a team of five local guides with a few light blue tuk-tuks. That is our whole team!

It means the person who answers your message is usually the person who drives you. It means we can change the route halfway through because you spotted something you liked. And it means that when our guests write about the tour afterwards, they write about a person, by name.

OUR TOURS

Four ways to see the city

Every tour is private and every route is adjustable. Pick the one that fits your day — or tell us what you want and we’ll build it.

A panoramic view over Lisbon rooftops towards the Tagus river
Most popular

The All Viewpoints Tour

Eight of Lisbon’s best viewpoints in three hours — including Penha de França and Jardim do Torel, two miradouros that almost no tour bus reaches.

From €60 per person
based on 4 passengers per tuk-tuk

Lisbon Highlights Tour

From €150

per tuk-tuk

Lisbon rooftops and castle hill in warm late afternoon light
No crowds

The Early Morning Tour

The same viewpoints, the same streets — but at first light, with the terraces empty and the city still waking up.

From €150

per tuk-tuk

Belem Tower standing at the edge of the Tagus river in Lisbon
Skip the line

Belém Tour

Inside the Pastéis de Belém kitchen to watch the tarts being made, then the monastery, the tower and the MAAT rooftop by tuk-tuk.

From €150

HOW IT WORKS

Booking takes about two minutes

1

Tell us your dates

Send a request through the site or message us on WhatsApp. Include how many of you there are and where you’re staying.

2

We confirm the details

We reply the same day with a suggested route, the exact price and a pickup point. Adjust anything you like.

3

Your guide arrives

We collect you at your hotel, apartment or the cruise terminal, and the city takes it from there.

WHY US

What makes a Chico Chico tour different

There are a lot of tuk-tuks in Lisbon. Here’s what our guests tell us they got here that they didn’t get elsewhere.

Guides who are actually from here

Not a script read from a card. Local stories, the restaurant our guide's family goes to, and honest answers about which queues are worth joining.

Quiet electric tuk-tuks

Fully electric, so you can hear your guide over the engine and you're not adding fumes to Alfama's narrow streets.

Private by default

You never share the tuk-tuk with strangers. One price for the vehicle, up to six of you, and the route bends to what you want to see.

QUESTIONS

The things people ask us most

Always. You will never share the tuk-tuk with people you didn’t come with. That’s also why the route can change on the spot: there’s nobody else’s schedule to keep to.

Your hotel, your apartment, the cruise terminal, or any of our meeting points around the centre. Tell us where you’ll be and we’ll sort it out.

Our tuk-tuks have a roof and side covers, so light rain doesn’t stop anything. If the forecast is genuinely bad, move the tour to another day or cancel for a full refund.

Ready to see the real Lisbon?

Tell us when you’re in town and we’ll build the route around you. Private tuk-tuk, local guide, no crowds.
