1 or 2 days on Yellow Bus: Belém and Modern Lisbon hop-on routes, tram access, and audio guides. Great first-city overview.

“We are first time travellers and on our honeymoon! The YellowBus was perfect for our first few days in Lisbon. As nervous travellers we researched each stop first the day before to decide what stops we were interested in getting off at. The drivers were all very helpful at answering our questions in English. The map was very helpful to navigate us around.”

A 2-day pass to WOW Porto with six museums, audio guides, wine, chocolate and cork, plus panoramic views, optional seafood, and store discounts.

“Amazing value, all of the museums feel very modern and are beyond informative and fun. Would recommend the day ticket, only downside is, even with the discount, the food is super expensive in the district. However, we can’t speak highly enough about the museums.”

6.2-Day Madeira Tour: East & West with Local Guide & Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 20 reviews · 2 days · from $75

Two days in Madeira with a local guide, East and West highlights, cliff views, volcanic pools, and tastings of rum, liqueur, and cookies.

“We visited all the important and beautiful attractions in Madeira. The tour was pleasantly paced. The guide (Samuel) was pleasant but didn't provide much information. The biggest minus: some of the promised tastings weren't available, and others were less than nominal. Some attractions required an additional fee, which wasn't specified in the description. In short, you can find cheaper versions of the same tour with other operators.”
