Our Bike Tour is "Best of The Best 2021" by TripAdvisor


It was with great honor and happiness that we received the news that our bicycle tour, between the Center of Lisbon and Belém, was distinguished on Trip Advisor, by travelers from all over the world, as “Best of The Best”.

 

Due to the way it’s planned, due to the knowledge and love that our guides have for Lisbon, this experience is much more than a traditional bicycle tour, it’s a unique way to get to know this city.

 

We don’t limit ourselves to making known the most important areas and monuments of Lisbon, nor to speak only about the history of the city and the country.

For us it’s very important that everyone also gets to know how the Portuguese live and how is the life this wonderful town.

For this it is very important to look for contrasts, mix the old versus the modern, the fancy versus the traditional, the urban versus nature and, very important:

 our guides are must be genuine, able to get to know Lisbon in an authentic way.

 

For 4 hours, sometimes a little longer, it’s possible to visit some of the most traditional, important, famous and historic places in Lisbon, such as the Belém Tower, the Jerónimos Monastery and an important part of Lisbon city centre, but also pass by other radically different places, where for example urban art and graffiti are the highlights.

We also passed by some of the trendiest places in the city, such as Time Out Market, Rua Rosa, Rua Verde and Lx Factory.

Visiting some of the most traditional neighborhoods in Lisbon, where buildings covered with tiles (Azulejo) and in bright colors stand out, is another highlight of our tour, but passing through modern buildings, designed by contemporary architects, such as the MAAT or the Champalimaud Foundation is also mandatory.

Being a city tour, in a city like Lisbon, the biggest and most important in Portugal, you might think that it is a tour made in the middle of cars and surrounded by people in stress.

It’s true that sometimes we pass near some streets with traffic and where there are also Portuguese people who stress, this is inevitable, but our tour is designed in such a way that most of the route is done on streets with few cars and bike paths, crossing some very nice green parks and also along the banks of the Tagus River, so that everyone can feel relaxed and that everyone can enjoy every moment of this experience.

This tour is always done at a moderate pace, the traditional Portuguese rhythm, so there is time for everything.

There is time to cycle, to take pictures, to sit on a terrace (something the Portuguese love to do) to have a coffee (bica) and talk about the most diverse topics, taking the opportunity to taste some Portuguese specialties, such as the famous Pastel de Belém and/or Pastel de Bacalhau and sometimes even a glass of Ginjinha or Vinho Verde.

Everything described above contributes to creating a very familiar and fun environment on our tours, which is decisive to make this Lisbon Bike Tour a unique experience.

After we earned the Certificate of Excellence in 2019 (TripAdvisor), of a year in 2020 without tourism (Covid), it’s for this reason, with double satisfaction and happiness that we received the news of this distinction “Best of The Best” in 2021.
