The best bike ride I’ve ever been on - This tour was absolutely the highlight of our trip. Maya is a phenomenal guide whose in depth knowledge of the area allowed her to customize our route to far surpass our expectations. We were initially a little worried about the physical demands of a full day cycling but the E- Bikes ended up enabling us to see the Portuguese countryside in a way we never could have dreamed of! It is absolutely as challenging or as easy as you want it to be. We will be doing this tour again the next time are in Lisbon!

Magical Sintra experience with Maya - This was hands down the highlight of our week in Portugal. If you enjoy the outdoors, it is a definite must, and the best way to explore Sintra is by bike (I had been before by foot and it does not even compare). What made this magical and beautiful place even more enjoyable was our tour guide Maya. Her knowledge and love for the region is incredible and because of it we were able to explore corners of Sintra that we would not have been able to without her. She was charismatic, patient and kind, and made my experience and my brother’s one that we will always remember and hold dear to our hearts. The electric bikes make it easy to get around, and the 8 hours flew by. Finishing at the beach in Cascais was also beautiful. I will definitely be back for this specific experience again. You need to book this tour!!

Great for a long country side ride through Sintra to the coast! - Great tour with Mia who took us to the out of the way places in and around Sintra . She was a great guide for the e-bikes to understand how they operate on the hills of Sintra. Would recommend to see another side of the area.

Great day bike touring - Our bike trip was fantastic - Mya did a great job of “herding the cats” along the way keeping the pace to meet the needs of the group. Stopped at a village market and had lunch at a great “farm to table” cafe - which was wonderful. The farmer’s market had great veggies, meats and cheeses. Beaches at Cascais were also wonderful! Totally recommend the tour especially if you have some biking experience. For non-bikers we recommend doing a flat bike tour on e-bikes to learn how to use an e-bike before taking this tour - it is hilly with narrow roads and traffic and pedestrians to navigate around and by.

A MUST DO in Lisbon ! - Ride date: 14th March 2024 Tour name: Sintra and Cascais E-Bike Tour Tour guide: Maya We were fortunate and delighted to have lovely, lively Maya as our guide. She is the life of the party. She is knowledgeable and kept things really relaxing and fun. We had a great lunch together sharing life stories and adventures. I'd recommend 100% Free Tours Lisbon to everyone who wants to experience cycling in Sintra and Cascais. If you ever get Maya as your guide then it is a super bonus ! Thank you Maya (enclosed a side view of Maya) for showing us places (yes even that steep hill you make us cycle up - I have forgiven you😁), that we will remember for a long time. Regards, Polly and Leon ( Singapore)

Maya was an amazing tour... - Maya was an amazing tour guide and the experience would not have been the same without her. She provided a curated experience to what our group wanted to do specifically and provided a much appreciated local perspective on the trip, as she used to live in Sintra.

Great Sintra - Our tour through the Sintra national forest with Maya was a true highlight. Maya’s energy and passion enabled her to curate a unique experience for our cycle group (our selves and and a lovely couple from Australia) from the distance covered, stunning views of the forest and valleys to providing history and context to development of the area. Maya adjusted the tour to include a stop at the oldest pastry and coffee shop in Sintra as well as an introduction to friends at a local community market with amazing wine and food. Safety and attention to gear and equipment, transfers on trains with a quick cycle from station to shop well done. Shared the day with great people, Thank-you Maya for a fantastic experience!
