The zoo was amazing. Lisbon and Portugal in general was such a tranquil and lovely experience. I was impressed that you take schools to have an overnight stay and learn about all the amazing work you do. That is really sweet and something that the whole world should be doing. Aquarium has a good layout. Was just sad not to see the otters but believe they are being bred atm so makes sense this is how we conserve our animals. Highly recommend.

It is not only about the experience of seeing animals in different environments of origin. It is about raising awareness among the attendees regarding the care of a planet already almost exhausted. Here the theme is to understand that we have a role to play and that we are behind in it.

Bella la visita allo stadio ed al museo; ma mi sarei aspettato un tour guidato e la possibilità di vedere anche la sala stampa e la sala interviste. Gentilissime le ragazze del museo e coinvolgente l'esperienza multimediale. Per l'oceanario, un po' dispersivo ma ricco di specie e di colori. Forse il prezzo è un po alto per ciò che viene offerto. Nel complesso, due esperienze da fare

Lisbon Cable car and aquarium are a fantastic experience. The aquarium itself is awesome with so much to see and take in and learn. Only downside with the dual ticket is whilst the aquarium opens at 10, the cable car (although running) isn't actually open until 11 so our planned take the cable car to the aquarium and back ended up being uber to cable car, then uber to aquarium and then just there and back on the cable car.

We really enjoyed the oceanarium in Lisbon. At the heart of the exhibition, you keep coming back to the huge aquarium and always discover something new. I love the rays, the sharks and especially the moonfish. 🥰 Booking via headout was quick and uncomplicated and saved us long waiting times at the entrance. 👍

We enjoyed our visit. Friendly, kind and helpful staff members. I would have liked to have heard that visitors should keep it down and not put their hands in the aquariums. Sadly, I saw some animals or amphibians in aquariums that were too small. In the didactic area for children, I noticed the 3 food offerings: fish🙄. I wonder where the commitment to not eat fish is to really give the oceans a break. Humanity is the most complicated, selfish and cruel species in 🌍. Promote the meat-fish ban.

I liked the telecabine ride from the South to the North Station. I wished I had been told to remain on the telecabine back to the South Station because it was closest to the Oceanarium. My husband and I unknowingly got off and had to walk all the way back up to the Oceanarium asking for directions on the way and getting lost. Finally arriving at Oceanarium half hour later sweating, tired and needing to rest. The Combo Oceanarium Tour would have been great otherwise. Please communicate this information in your materials so that participants will know to remain on the telecabine if entering from the South Station for a roundtrip where they are closest to the Oceanarium.

People spent a lot of time blocking the view of the aquarium. Perhaps there should have been more staff directing the rooms so that everyone could see the animals. I had to send my 7-year-old daughter to squeeze between people so she could see the animals.

Whole place and most of the palaces specially Péna was magnificent, but the only thing (not a complain) was : bus ticketing and I paid HONESTLY 3x for ticket: 1 to go to Péna, 1 to go up in front of Péna, same day again 1 to get back to Train station. The most annoying were those food&beverage automaat: water automat didn't work, sandwich machine took my money BUT GAVE NO SANDWICH😳

I wish it was explained before that we would need to pickup our card at a certain location, they made it seem like we would just have them on the app. Also I would have liked a map that showed where the museums and sites were located and what buses were available to get to them. Navigating became difficult and we were not able to get the most out of the card. Almost doesn't seem worth it, especially since as a family we could have gotten discounts at most sites without the Lisboa card

THe castle was awesome. The instructions on use of the tickets were problematic. They state to locate the kiosk. We never found that. We eventually found a ticket taker at the castle who let us in based on the pass we had. But this circling around the castle was stressful and likely took a full hour of our day.

Easy to pick up and easy to use. Regarding São Jorge castle, we couldn't use the card directly as access, like others at attractions, but had to pick up free tickets at the ticket office, i.e. we had to queue there instead of being able to use our own card and skip the queue.

Nice experience. We loved the Pena Palace and surroundings. I recommend the carriage museum. On the downside, we were not able to visit the Belem Tower. We arrived at the site and the officials did not give us access. They use tourists to get job perks and that is unfair. It is a bad image for Portugal and tour operators like Headout should take part in it, because they sell a promise that is not being fulfilled and it also damages their image. For me, the fair thing would be to be compensated for those tickets included in the Lisbon Card.

The monastery is stunning... cool, beautiful and serene . Worth queueing to visit, although after buying a ticket online we got to the front of the queue and then had to go across the road to pick up the Lisboa card.

There are no airco inside the busses. Also it would be better if the folder said described in a few sentences what was to be seen at each big stop, and the prices. For example: free park where you can get drinks and there's a toilet. Free church. Big synificant monestry entrance price is €...,

Genial, nos ha encantado el Oceanario. Respecto al autobús, todo bien, sólo una observación ' estaría bien que en el audio indicaran qué parada se va a realizar, para no despistarse.

The 2-day ticket is good value. Lots of options to choose the sightseeing points. The Belem tour is highly recommended, the Modern Lisbon tour includes entry to the aquarium as a big plus (without having to queue), but it takes a very long time through corners of Lisbon that are not very special. Stops are not announced, you have to pay attention yourself and activate the stop in good time. The funicular and streetcar can only be used if you have a very tight daily schedule. In short: the offer is very large and good. The announcements over the headphones are difficult to understand.

The Old Lisbon bus tour was incredible, great for seeing the city and saving your legs as their are heaps of steep inclines. The Modern Lisbon bus tour, was also interesting. At the beginning you start by working your way around the rights streets, very exciting. Then you make stops at the Tile Musuem, which was a highlight, and the Oceanarium, a great place to visit in the heat of the day. The rest of the tour was interesting for modern architecture. Overall an amazing experience! Note that on Mondays that most if not all, Museum's and historic sights are closed. So if you are staying for more than a couple of days, time your booking.
