Lissabon: Riverside E-bike tur til Belém

Had an amazing time! Bruno was amazing!

We had a great guide, Xavier. He explained the history of Lisbon and Portugal in general very well, it is very interesting. Our bike tour in the city was very safe, I recommend this outing!

We had a three-hour bike tour scheduled, and when we arrived, we realized it was a private tour, just my companion and me, which was a very pleasant surprise. Our tour took us to the town of Belém, and our guide, Xavier, grew up there, so his knowledge of the area was incredible. We saw so many places, and if you’re going to explore Lisbon by bike, the e-bikes are absolutely the way to go. There happened to be a marathon taking place that day, but thanks to Xavier’s deep familiarity with the area, even the detours we had to take turned into interesting parts of the experience. The highlight of the tour was stopping for Pastéis de Belém, without having to wait in the long line. Xavier is so well known that he even left with an extra pastry for his mom. His personal stories and life history were just as engaging as the tour itself. Coming from Baltimore, it was fascinating to see how similar Belém felt to a port town like home, especially seeing the old power plant transformed into part of the MAAT Museum, it was strikingly familiar. The tour was the perfect length, and even the area where Lisboa Autêntica is located is charming, with benches and orange trees out front. This experience was informative, personal, and truly memorable. Highly recommended.

Our guide Jorge was excellent and helpful. We would have preferred a little less lecture time and a little more riding time. The trip did not last the full 3 hours.

A very varied walk with a passionate guide, we made the walk two adults and a child, in impeccable French.

We had such a great day on this bike tour with Xavier. He was a fabulous guide and so knowledgeable. We learned a lot while having so much fun riding the e-bikes. I was a bit nervous about getting out of the busy city center to the river paths but it was so easy! Lisbon is definitely more bike friendly than many cities. Once we were at the river it was a lovely ride on a bike trail with not too many people around to worry about. I haven't biked in a while but the e-bikes were fabulous, so easy. They allowed us to cover a lot of ground and see so much. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are looking for a different way to see the area. It was one of our favorite days.

Excellent way to see Lisbon and learn some of its rich history. Bill was excellent as a guide. Highly recommend if you want to see and learn about this fantastic city.

We had an amazing time on our bike tour of Belém and Lisbon! The whole experience was a fantastic way to see the city, and our guide George truly made it unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Lisbon’s history and culture. One of the highlights was an unexpected detour — there was a Corpus Christi procession happening in town, and George quickly rerouted us through a back way that only a true local would know. It was a crazy steep climb, but well worth it for the unique perspective and quiet streets. It really added a special, off-the-beaten-path element to the day! The tour was well-paced, full of interesting stops, and George made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Lisbon in an active and authentic way!

My wife and I together with two friends were novices at riding e bikes but what a wonderful way of seeing parts of the city. Our guide, Bruno, was brilliant, very kind and patient with us. He was very knowledgeable about the historic sights of Belem and I would definitely recommend this trip.

Had an absolutely brilliant ride. Was smiling the whole time. Hadn’t been on a bike for 10 years! Bruno was lovely and very reassuring.
