Lisbon is a great place to visit no matter what time of the year it is. If you are interested in going here for a vacation, there are many different things to see and do. One of the more unique ways to see Lisbon is using a relatively new concept to this area, the driving tour. This unique GPS guided audio tour is a truly one of a kind experience for singles as well as couples. One unique driving tour are three wheeled, two person convertible vehicles, with a full GPS system, that has an audio voice. They have a 60 mile range, and four different tours of Lisbon available. What makes them so different is that they have an intelligent interactive voice, that sounds so human you would think that a real person was with you. As you travel along your 'guide' will crack jokes, reveal interesting anecdotes about Lisbon, and gives other information about the Portuguese language and culture, and even plays music!

With its on board GPS navigation, there is no way you can ever get lost if you follow one of four programmed routes. There is the East City tour, with takes you past such great attractions as St. Jorge's Castle, and the Cathedral, as well as other historical city areas.
