Two very complete tours with an audio description in Brazilian Portuguese, which is very helpful. The stops are at strategic locations near points of interest and the frequency of the buses is good. I didn't catch any crowded buses or have to wait long. I also used the streetcars for free during the validity period of the ticket and visited other places such as the São Jorge Castle on top of the hill.

We took the basic of the 3 routes, we started late and the last route did not give us time to do it, but we liked the experience to give us an idea that Lisbon is much bigger than it seems if you see only the oldest area. What I didn't like is having to download 3 applications and even then we were not able to see in real time the frequency of passage, thank goodness it says it on the panel of each stop.

48h expert pack. We took the red Belem line, the green line and the orange/yellow line to Cascais, giving us a great opportunity to explore Lisbon, the Alfama district and the coast. Please note: in some seats, the audio guide is not functional, but luckily the buses were not full and we were able to find an available seat with an ok audio system (August 5/6). All the drivers were friendly, smiling and helpful.

I've been using your service more & more. I love it. Would have been Awesome if the windows were clean. I think really pointing out the stops would help a lot of people. Some are always confused. Especially if they are not ones to follow the map.
