Itinerary
.Comércio Square: This Square was the centerpiece of the reconstruction that took place after the earthquake of 1755 which has reduced Lisbon to rubble. In a privilege location, facing the river, this is the most popular square in Lisbon and one of the largest in Europe.
Learn about Alfama's connection to Fado music. A genre so pungent and touching that it will not easily leave anyone indifferent. It's even said that Fado makes the cobblestone streets cry.
.National Pantheon: Also known as St. Engratia Church, it’s a majestic baroque monument that took three centuries to build (from 1682 to 1966) and is the resting place of the most important cultural and political figures in the country.
It is one of the most important monasteries and mannerist buildings in the country. The monastery also contains the royal pantheon of the Braganza monarchs of Portugal.
Graça is on the highest of the seven hills, Graça is located next to the iconic São Jorge Castle and this area is famous for its two beautiful viewpoints: Senhora do Monte belvedere and Graça belvedere, also known as Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen viewpoint. During the 20th century this neighbourhood became a residential area for factory workers mainly. At that time this neighbourhood was characterized by its courtyards, traditional taverns and grocery stores, hosted popular festivities and the first public school was founded here (Voz do Operário) as well as the arrival of the iconic 28 tram.
Crossover the castle coast, climb to Graça to see the most incredible picture of the Lisbon Castle.
Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood and the most charming one, it’s considered the historic soul of Lisbon and its steep, cobblestoned lanes stand just as they were in medieval times. This area is best known for its fado houses and the great festivities of Lisbon which honors “Santo António” (St. Anthony) during the month of June, luring thousands of people into the streets. This neighbourhood resisted to the terrible earthquake of 1755 and this is one of the main reasons that contributed to the preservation of its authenticity. This charming area retains some of the Moorish atmosphere with its alleys, staircases and clothes drying on the windows.
.Lisbon Cathedral: Officially referred to as Santa Maria Maior de Lisboa (Patriarchal Cathedral of Saint Mary Major) is the oldest place of worship in Lisbon, dating back to the mid 12th century
.Praça do Martim Moniz is located in Lisbon, near Rossio. The square honors the nobleman who, in 1147, helped D. Afonso Henriques to conquer the castle by crossing the door so that his companions could pass through

This was a great, kid‑friendly way to see more of Lisbon. Peter was fantastic — super knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. I’m in the travel industry myself, and he truly ticked all the boxes.
Really good. Great guide. Passionate about Cadiz. He is local and very knowledgeable. I would recommend to anyone
What a wonderful way to see and experience Lisbon. Was a bit worried about our 3pm tour given the peak of the heat, but it was totally ok as we felt the breeze as we biked up and down the Alfama and along the cobblestone streets taking us to different lookouts of the beautiful city: Sofia was our guide and she was kind, knowledgeable and very thoughtful. Highly recommend this tour!
When we first arrived, we took the tour. It was such a great way to see the city and the main attractions/sites (so we could check them out later). The company was excellent. They had washrooms and a water bottle fill station for you. We went on a hot day, bring water! There was a little cargo bag to keep your stuff attached to the r-bike. Our guide Alejandra was simply fantastic. Knowledgeable, funny and so personable. I highly recommend.
Brilliant - really fun, easy to get up hills with electric bikes. Highly recommended 😀. Would do it again in a heartbeat
Had a great bike tour of Lisbon and saw many awesome sights around the city. Our guide was great in helping us along the route making sure no one was left behind. Would definitely recommend if visiting Lisbon!
It was fantastic! Jeferson was very knowledgeable, great with all the info, let us know what to expect next, gave us time to explore and he even received a praise from a local who was listening to his description. We were 4 people, me, husband, 15 YO and 19 YO. Everyone loved it.
My family (my wife and 2 kids - 19y and 15y) had a lovely time during the tour. The size of the group (8 people) was appropriate so that the guide could take care of everyone. Ricardo, our guide, was always attentive and insightful. His knowledge and storytelling really made a difference on the experience.
Jonas was a great guide. Very attentive, very entertaining TOUR
