Great tour with Dutch guide Marijn
Great way to see Lisbon and keep teenager engaged! Guide (translated as George) was great at explaining history of Portugal, relevance of monuments etc…and gave us some useful tips for what else to see and do while we’re in Lisbon. Not at all strenuous-all downhill or flat, frequent breaks and a tasty stop for pastel de nata and ginja (cherry liquor). Highly recommended. Thanks George.
This was a great trip. Our guide, Roger is a student intern and he gave us so much history about every item we stopped along the way to see. Don’t let the fact that it is not an E- bike concern you as the first part of the trip is really all downhill. We didn’t even have to pedal. The second part of the trip was all flat. I was impressed by how many stops we made along the way. I would highly recommend this trip thank you Roger for a wonderful day. We feel like we saw the best parts of Lisbon during our short stay.
Great tour overall! Just make sure you’re comfortable navigating through heavy foot traffic during the busier days of the week. There was a bit more stop-and-go while discussing landmarks than we expected. We personally would have preferred a little more riding and uninterrupted time to enjoy the scenery.
Very informative easy bike ride seeing a lot of Lisbon guide very knowledgeable about the city and keen to share this with us
Very nice. Our guide Kathy could tell nice. Nice a piece of history and traditions of Lisbon included.
I did the Lisbon Bike Tour recently and the experience was excellent. Lisbon is a beautiful city, but full of climbs — so taking the bike ride, especially with e-bike, completely changes the experience. The tour allows you to know the city in a much lighter, pleasant and dynamic way. The route through the region of the Tagus, Belém and the viewpoints provides spectacular views and great opportunities for photos.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Jorge. He was very informative and we felt that we learnt a lot about Portuguese history and Lisbon
A nice, easy tour of Lisbon. Good for orientation and seeing some of the highlights of the area. Our guide, George, was thoughtful, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to boot!
We spent a lovely morning with Jorge. We were fortunate to have him exclusively to our group. His knowledge of the city is unmatched and his love for biking is evident. This tour was the highlight of our trip. It was a great way to discover the city while being active and covering a lot of ground. I highly recommend this tour.
