Itinéraire
La visite commence par un briefing sur le fonctionnement des vélos, au Largo da Severa, Mouraria dans le centre de Lisbonne. Vous vous dirigerez ensuite vers la gare Rossio pour prendre le train pour Sintra. Pendant le voyage en train, vous aurez le temps de faire savoir à votre Guide si vous souhaitez visiter certains palais en cours de route ou si vous souhaitez simplement faire du vélo.
Lorsque vous arrivez à Sintra, vous pouvez visiter le Palais national si vous le souhaitez. La majeure partie de votre randonnée à vélo se déroule dans le parc naturel de Sintra-Cascais.
Vous aurez la possibilité de visiter la Quinta da Regaleira, construite entre 1904 et 1910, lieu réputé pour son symbolisme, sa magie et son mystère.
Peu de temps après, vous passerez devant Seteais, un ancien palais du 18ème siècle qui est maintenant un hôtel 5 étoiles.
Continuez votre voyage sur des routes bordées de bosquets majestueux jusqu'à l'entrée du parc et du palais de Monserrate, l'une des plus belles créations du romantisme portugais.
Arrivez à Colares, un lieu réputé pour ses vignobles.
Continuez vers le village de Penedo, où vous aurez une vue imprenable depuis l’atrium de l’église, avant de continuer à vélo jusqu’au village d’Urgueira. Faites une pause déjeuner dans le village d’Azóia, où vous trouverez une grande variété de restaurants.
Avec une énergie renouvelée, continuez votre route dans une ancienne forêt et montez jusqu'au sanctuaire de Peninha, situé à 488 mètres d'altitude.
De là, vous aurez une vue panoramique du cap Espichel et Arrábida, au sud, du cap Carvoeiro et des Berlengas, au nord, et de l’ensemble de la montagne Sintra au nord-est. De retour au centre de Sintra, vous ferez du vélo pour jeter un dernier coup d’œil au palais de Pena, un monument important du mouvement du romantisme portugais. Vous voyagerez avec un guide informatif et utile, aussi passionné par la chère Sintra que par le cyclisme.
Vous pouvez également descendre à la plage sauvage de Guincho - avec ses dunes sans fin et ses vents typiques qui sont si précieux pour les amateurs de planche à voile - jusqu'à la piste cyclable menant à Cascais.
Retournez à Lisbonne en train par la magnifique ville de Cascais où vous aurez l'une des vues les plus étonnantes sur la côte portugaise.

This trip is absolutely awesome. While the route is great and the sites are memorable Bruno makes it all come together. Bruno greeted us warmly and made sure the group on our ride was introduced. He was very attentive to our safety throughout the ride. We felt like family by the end of the trip. He helped us navigate the crowds in Sintra and then guided us through the incredible nature park and all the way to the beaches in his hometown of Cascais. We had a wonderful lunch, family style, at Refugio do Ciclista with a group of locals. The views from the mountains above the beach are spectacular. The ride provided a good workout even with the e-bikes. We did over 23 miles with 200 feet of elevation gain. I would highly recommend this trip!
Our guide, Daniel, was amazing! He took us to the mountains, the sea shore, castles, and to a phenomenal authentic Portuguese restaurant. He was full of interesting historical facts, and so very kind.
George was a fabulous guide. He made sure we were safe and had a wonderful experience. Great day and great bikes
Fantastic cycle tour with Bruno. Great route with lots to see. Bruno stopped and explained each place of interest in detail while keeping us all safe. We would highly recommend this trip.
Book direct, a bit cheaper. The whole day was amazing. Our guide-Bruno, very cheery, knowldegable and looked after everyone. Train from Lisbon to Sintra included. Mixed ability riding group helped by the well maintained e-bikes. Stopped at a local cycle cafe- meal, desert and glass of local wine €10. 100% recommend. Thank you.
This was a wonderful experience and highly recommend we saw so much and didn’t feel just like a tourist
Absolutely fantastic trip. Ricardo the guide we had was amazing. Great cycling route, fantastic views and great stops for coffee and lunch. We travelled to Sintra by train with the bikes and this was a great experience too. Would really recommend this tour. We have been on 3 tours since we arrived in Lisbon for our weeks holiday and this one was definitely the best. You would definitely need to be able to use a bike and be a confident enough cyclist in traffic etc but you would not need to be too fit as the e bike does all of the work on the steep climbs. A great day out of the city, well organised and relaxed.
We did the tour in german with Claudio as a tourguide. We had a really great time. We thought about renting ebikes and do some tour on our own, but we are so glad we didn't! It was a perfect mix about just enjoying the nature and scenery and learning about the history. Maybe it was because our guide Claudio always let us lead the experience. I think without Claudio we would not have driven this really magnificent route. And even if we did by chance, without our guide we maybe wouldn't have felt completly safe as we did all the time. Claudio was really open minded and we felt comfortable to ask about all aspects of the past and current life in Lisboa/ Portugal and he was super friendly and courteous for the whole length of our trip. The bikes and helmets were of perfect quality. It was our first guided ebike tour, but it will definetly not be the last! Thanks again to Claudio and of course to all the other people involved letting us have this experience which we surely will remember for quite some time.
An absolutely fantastic bike tour! Bruno was an outstanding guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. He shared interesting historical insights with a perfect balance between learning and enjoying the ride. The route itself was beautiful, with stunning views throughout, and the pace was just right. Overall, this was a perfect way to explore the area by bike. Great guide, great local lunch spot, great views—highly recommend!
The day was very well planned and the weather was perfect for cycling. I had never been on an e-bike before but it was so easy. George, our guide was very knowledgeable about the region’s history. He was very friendly and interesting to chat with. We felt very relaxed in his company. We stopped off at a lovely restaurant at the top of the hill that was popular with cyclists. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The views on Sintra and Caiscais were beautiful. My sister and I are in our 50ies and moderately fit. The hills were easy on turbo mode. I highly recommend this tour to those who love the outdoors and like to experience the region with a local expert.
