Drive the thread of Lisbon’s past and present along the famous 28 Tram route in your own private Tukxi. Over two hours a local guide navigates narrow streets and hilltop viewpoints — from the old quarters of Alfama and Graça through Chiado and on toward Estrela — stopping where the city’s tiles, terraces and red roofs make for the clearest views and best photographs.

The tour includes stops at Nossa Senhora do Monte and São Pedro de Alcântara, giving uninterrupted panoramas over the old city and the Tagus beyond.

What the day feels like

What the 2-hour Tukxi follow-along feels like

The pace is deliberate: a soft, eco-friendly ride that follows the famous Tram 28 line while allowing you to hop out at scenic overlooks and in shadowed alleys. You trade the crush of a public tram for a private vehicle and guide who times stops at hilltop miradouros and historic corners for the best light and least crowds.
