However much you have heard about Lisbon, you can only really experience the magic and charm of this fascinating city by visiting it personally and this 3 hours private panoramic tour is a great way to do so. We will start by crossing the Vasco da Gama Bridge over the Tagus river (when possible) for some breathtaking views over Lisbon and its seven hills.
