The perfect way to explore Lissabon - I can highly recommend to book this bike tour. We enjoyed the possibility to see and explore many different places of the city, and our guide Silvia was so sweet, welcoming and informative. We got a lot of tips for what we could see the next days. :)
Only thing we could have wished for was more time to stop during the tour to see the street art, buildings ect., because we got so excited about all the things we drove by.
We were a group of 5 friends and then another one joined, so it felt like a private tour.
Thank you for a great day, Silvia! :)

A ride through history - We enjoyed ride a lot. The route was easy to ride but allowed us to see a great deal of Lisbon. Pedro was pleasant, friendly and informative, he was very knowledgeable.. The time for stops was good and we were able to take in the background information. Though it was no problem for us the tour took 5 hours not four and it did affect the schedule of some of our fellow riders. We would highly recommend it to others.

Excellent value for money - I went on a ride to Belem with Sylvia and five other riders. To get there, it was a 10 minute walk from the cruise terminal, easy to find. I paid a booking fee to Tripadvisor and gave a E20 tip to Sylvia. The ride was 4.5 hrs in duration, 22km biking. Excellent value for money, great way to see the highlights of Lisbon.

Perfect day in Lisbon! - We loved our bicycle tour! It was a fun and relaxing day seeing many sights and enjoying the path along the waterfront. There is only one hill, so it wasn’t a strenuous ride, but we were out for a long time.
Bring a water bottle, sunblock, and money to tip at the end.
Thanks to our amazing guide, Silvia!

Excellent tour - well worth doing! - Our family of four including boys (12 and 14) had a great time on the bike tour. Our guide Sylvie was very knowledgeable and filled us in on historical facts and events. The bikes were great, easy to ride and gave us a great overview of the City. Well worth doing.

A fun break from the hills w plenty to see: - We had so much fun! Our group of 6 (2 parents and 4 in their early /mid 20’s), had been in Lisbon for a few days enjoying the history and walking the hills, some where a little apprehensive about the bikes but the route is flat and it was a great way to see more of the city toward Belham and the waterfront. We had a mix of e-bikes and standard bikes which was also perfect. Our guide, Miguel was a pro! So knowledgable, patient ( low air in a tire, a chain falling off, Mom being a little rusty on the bike) , well equipped for any situations and really knew all the ins and outs. We enjoyed the stops where Miguel pointed out certain pieces of art and history, as well as coffee, pastry and an artist community along the way. We had a lot of laughs. It was a great morning. Our whole group would highly recommend the experience.

Riding in Lisbon - not for the faint hearted! - This was a good tour to Belem and back, but due to the extensive building works and road works in Lisbon, the first half of the ride was not easy. Our guide was fantastic and provided lots of information about Lisbon, but it wasn't very comfortable. We also enjoyed the stops.

Simply bicycles - seen a lot - The tour guide did a good job. She took the time to explain a lot and answer questions. There were also photo stops. The tour gave me a good overview of the river bank.
With this booking, you pay for the bike rental and the guide gets his well-earned tip afterwards.
The bikes were very basic. No mudguards or anything like that.
Bike helmets are available on request. The first one was broken, the second one was too big - but better than nothing.
There was a lot of traffic, the roads are in some places not in such good condition and you have to concentrate on riding. A challenge with 12 people.
Since there were no e-bikes, we rode along the Tejo to the Torre de Belém.
There were two falls on the bike, but they turned out well.
