About
Yellow Tours is one of Lisbon's larger tour operators, offering everything from hop-on-hop-off bus tours to walking experiences, tuk tuk rides, and Segway tours. Based at Praca do Comercio, they're easy to find and offer multiple departure times throughout the day.
The 2.8 overall rating is worth unpacking for families. The lower scores typically come from the bus tour side, where service inconsistencies and crowded buses can frustrate visitors. The walking tours and specialty experiences (tuk tuk, Segway) generally receive much higher marks.
For families with young children, the bus tours have practical appeal — kids can sit comfortably while seeing the city, and if they fall asleep, that's fine. The open-top deck is genuinely exciting for children who've never been on a double-decker bus. However, expect some wait times and potential crowding during peak season.
For families with older kids and teens, the tuk tuk and Segway options are significantly more fun. Segway tours have age and weight minimums (typically 12+ and 45kg+), so they work best for teen-inclusive families. Tuk tuk tours accommodate all ages and navigate Lisbon's narrow streets with ease.
The Praca do Comercio location is excellent — right on the waterfront with views of the Tagus River, surrounded by restaurants and near the start of the Rua Augusta pedestrian street. It's a natural hub for starting and ending your touring day.
Combo packages that bundle bus + walking + tuk tuk offer the best value for families planning multiple activities. Book online for advance purchase discounts.
