Awesome! It wasn’t what I expected; it was more physically taxing than I had understood it to be however, with the e-bike & a private tour with just our family, it was the perfect day out. Ricardo, our guide, was fun, engaging and informative. We rode for 42kms over the day, up the mountain, down the mountain and took in the views and scenery of Sintra & Cascais and everything in between. Lunch at the cyclists canteen was filling and suitable for the day. We rode through little towns, forests and valleys, along the beach front and to our train back to Lisbon. This is an amazing opportunity to do something with your family that they will remember forever, even if it did push the comfort boundaries for mum!!! Highly recommend the tour.

Met a great group of different kinds of people. It was so nice to hear the history and culture behind the food in Lisbon. I liked being able to orient and immerse myself more in the culture. I’d recommend this tour in the beginning of your trip. It really enhances your view point for the rest of your time in the city.

I got this card at noon on Saturday, and used it until the next day at noon time and it was the best choice to make as I can enjoy many famous destinations in Lisboa and use the transportation (including the famous Tram 28) to those destinations with no charge.

Luciano provided a well paced and very informative fun. Nice combination of history and local interest. would highly recommend as an inductory tour to Lisbon

Sophia was fantastic! Great value and so informative
