The tuk‑tuk hums down a tile-streaked street, the Tagus winking at the edge of view as old roofs give way to a panoramic sweep from Senhora do Monte. In 90 minutes a local driver-guide threads you through Alfama’s maze of cobbled lanes, pauses at miradouros that frame São Jorge Castle, and eases along the riverside to Praça do Comércio — all while you sit higher than a walking tour, close enough to smell roasted chestnuts and canned sardines grilling at the market.
