Itinerary
The Alfama neighborhood is the oldest and most traditional in Lisbon. Starting the tour in this typical area of Lisbon, very different from all the others, will allow you to get to know this neighborhood and better understand the city's history and the way it grew.
At the end of the Alfama neighborhood, there is an area (Campo das Cebolas) of high historical value, the ruins of the ancient Roman port. Here you will see part of the ruins of the port and learn about the influence and importance that the Roman people had in Lisbon and Portugal several centuries ago.
This monumental and wonderful square, facing the Tagus River, which was the ancient gateway to the city of Lisbon, is currently the most important square in the city. Here we will make a stop so you can see the square, to explain why it is so important and also to explain how the devastating tsunami of 1755 happened and the social and architectural consequences.
After stopping at Comércio Sqaure, we will cycle for around 10 minutes, through the streets of downtown Lisbon, until we reach another important square in Lisbon, called Rossio. Another wonderful square in our city, where the National Theater, Lisbon's first major train station and the enigmatic São Domingos Church are located. In addition to these monuments, you can also discover some of the oldest and most legendary stores here.
Another few hundred meters and we will reach Praça dos Restauradores, which has the monument in the middle to remember the restoration of Portugal's independence in 1640. Here it will be explained why Portugal lost its independence for 60 years. Flanked by old cinemas and theaters, this square marks the beginning of Avenida da Liberdade, the most important in Lisbon.
The monumental Santa Justa elevator, built over 100 years ago, is one of Lisbon's best-known symbols. Here we will make a brief stop to explain the reason for its existence and the great importance it had.
This is the highest point in old Lisbon; here, in this unique location, you have an extraordinary view over the entire city.
Next to the Church and Convent of Graça is one of Lisbon's most famous viewpoints, offering a wonderful view of São Jorge Castle. While there, you can also take the opportunity to visit the church.
In this location, where the city's most famous street market takes place (Tuesdays and Saturdays), in addition to a fantastic view over the Tagus River, you can see up close the Monastery of São Vicente and the National Pantanal, two of the city's most iconic landmarks.

Super beautiful day visiting Lisbon with family. Miguel, our guide, was amazing; he even gave us a personalized tour since we were just the five of us in the family. He spoke French very well. We really enjoyed the tour and the guide. Easy, pleasant, and uncomplicated!
Bonjour! Merci d'avoir participé à notre tournée et pour votre avis. Nous sommes très heureux d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié notre visite, c'est notre objectif principal. Tout le meilleur et revient toujours! Miguel Xara Brasil
Guide was 40 mins late and her English was not good. Minimal hand signals caused my wife to crash into her
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the tour, unlike everyone else who loved it and gave it a 5-star review. In fact, the guide, something that had never happened before, arrived 25 minutes late, not 40. Because she is very polite, she apologized. You say your wife collided with the guide; it seems so, as her bicycle gave the guide a small bump, which fortunately didn't cause any falls, accidents, or injuries. As you say, it was your wife who gave the guide a small bump, and if that happened, perhaps it was because she wasn't keeping a safe distance or because she was distracted. In any case, I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the tour. That's what saddens us, because we always do our best to ensure everyone enjoys their time with us and our tours, as you can see from the reviews we've received. Finally, I must thank you for your review, which will help us improve; that is always one of our goals. All the best!
Maria was our bike quide. She made us feel very comfortable, our ages ranged from 71 to 13. She accommodated every need and even fixed a derailed chain along the way. She was very informative about the history of Lisbon and geography.

Maria & Miguel were wonderful, lots of history telling and great personalities. Insightful, adaptable, friendly. Took pictures for us. Showed us sights we never would have found on our own. Would recommend.
5 star experience! Eduardo was fantastic. Good pace of riding while also intermittently stopping to hear about landmarks and history. Bicycles in good working order.
Absolutely fantastic experience, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience as first time e-bikers, which was a revaluation! So much fun! Thanks to Pedro for hosting a memorable time for us.

We had an amazing experience exploring Lisbon with our guide! He was an absolute sweetheart—patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city. He took us all around, even up the hills, ensuring we didn’t miss any of the beautiful sights. His insights and stories made the experience even more special. It was the perfect introduction to Lisbon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to start our trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!
