ABOUT US

Carristur – Inovação em Transportes Urbanos e Regionais is a company wholly-owned by Carris and which operates in three different sectors:

TOURISM

Carristur is the main open-top bus tour operator in Portugal, with a presence in three of the country's most beautiful cities - Lisbon, Porto and Funchal. Showing our customers the best places to visit in Portugal, welcoming them in a hospitable way and providing the best services are crucial factors in emblematic cities such as those where we are present.

To make the trip as comfortable as possible, we have a modern fleet of exclusive and emblematic vehicles, such as the red tram in Lisbon and the hop on hop off buses, which not only allow customers to get on and off as often as they like, but also offer unique views from the top of their 4 metres.

Through our tours, we aim to be a tourist promoter of excellence and to provide unforgettable experiences for those who visit us, ensuring that they pass through the main points of interest and discover the essence of each city, its smells, flavours, colours and emotions - commitments that we are proud of and work towards on a daily basis.

TRAINING

Carristur develops training and consultancy projects for companies working within the passenger and goods transport sector. In this way it contributes to raising levels of knowledge, developing new skills and motivating and enhancing company personnel such as drivers, foremen, administrative staff, instructors, technical and managerial staff and others.

The training products are the result of experience acquired over the years in several areas. The programs are adjusted to the needs of the customers by providing quality service and meeting their companies’ goals.

INNOVATION AND NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

This department of Carristur is dedicated to the study and development of new business ventures and is responsible for identifying new market opportunities and launching fresh products.
