a unique experience
Amazing way to see Lisbon!
We did the Cristo Rei sidecar tour in May as a couple and absolutely loved it! Crossing the 25 de Abril Bridge was an amazing experience, with incredible views over Lisbon. Fun, original and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

A great ride
"Lisbon as a couple ❤️
Coming from the south of France, we discovered Lisbon by sidecar all the way to Cristo Rei. The ride across the 25th of April Bridge was great, with an incredible view of the city. A great experience for two that we won't soon forget!
Operator response
Merci beaucoup, Luc ! Ce fut un plaisir de vous faire découvrir Lisbonne en side-car jusqu’au Cristo Rei. Je suis ravi que le passage sur le pont du 25 Avril et la vue sur la ville vous aient autant marqué — c’est un moment que j’aime toujours partager avec mes passagers.
Merci d’être venus du sud de la France pour vivre cette aventure à deux. Au plaisir de vous retrouver à Lisbonne !

An Unforgettable Ride to Cristo Rei!
We did the Lisbon & Cristo Rei tour in July and it was such a memorable experience! Crossing the 25 de Abril Bridge in the sidecar, with the sunshine and wind, was absolutely fantastic. Amazing views from Cristo Rei and a really original way to discover Lisbon. One of the highlights of our trip!
Operator response
Thank you so much! I’m delighted that your Lisbon and Cristo Rei sidecar tour became one of the highlights of your trip. Crossing the 25 de Abril Bridge with the July sunshine and wind is quite a feeling, and I’m glad you loved the view from Cristo Rei too!
It was a pleasure sharing that ride with you. Hope to see you back in Lisbon someday!

An excellent way to discover Lisbon!
The sidecar tour lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes and allows you to see the main neighborhoods and points of interest in the city, with regular stops for explanations and visits. It is ideal for a first discovery of Lisbon, before returning later at your leisure to the places you preferred.
The route is very flexible: you can ask all your questions, ask to adapt certain stops or neighborhoods according to your wishes, and even repeat the experience without necessarily following exactly the same itinerary.
Another real plus: the guide picks you up directly at your hotel, even if it is a bit out of the way. Everything is very simple and fluid, you get on and off the sidecar easily to visit a church or discover a point of interest before leaving again.
The hour and a half goes by incredibly fast! The price seemed completely justified to us considering the service, the flexibility, and the very personalized nature of the experience.
To do without hesitation as a couple. And for families or groups of four, it is also possible to book two sidecars with two guides at the same time, which is very practical.
Operator response
Merci beaucoup pour ce retour si détaillé ! Je suis ravi que cette balade privée en sidecar vous ait permis de découvrir Lisbonne à votre rythme, entre quartiers emblématiques, arrêts pour explorer et petites découvertes en chemin.
C’est exactement ce que j’aime dans ce tour : pouvoir adapter le parcours à vos envies, prendre le temps de répondre à vos questions et vous laisser profiter pleinement de la ville. Et oui, 1h30 passe toujours trop vite ! 😊
Merci aussi d’avoir mentionné la prise en charge à l’hôtel et la possibilité de partir à deux sidecars pour les familles ou les amis. Ce fut un vrai plaisir de partager Lisbonne avec vous. À bientôt peut-être pour un autre itinéraire !

Extraordinary day
We were with friends and wanted to spend an unforgettable day, and that was the case!!
Great experience to visit Lisbon in a different way.
Plus, our guide only had good advice to give us; you can tell he knows the city like the back of his hand.
I recommend everyone try the sidecar in Lisbon!!! Thanks again 🙏

Incredible.
This visit was really excellent, we went to Cristo Rei, the most incredible thing is when we crossed the 25 de Abril bridge and what is good is that Stephane always has water bottles with him.
So this visit was really incredible. Thank you.

A breath of freedom in a sidecar
I wanted to give my daughter an original experience: discovering Lisbon by sidecar. And what a beautiful surprise!
We loved this feeling of freedom and the possibility of exploring places that we probably would never have discovered on our own. Stéphane knows Lisbon like the back of his hand and took us to incredible spots, far from the usual circuits, with breathtaking views of the ocean.
Throughout the route, he shares anecdotes, stories, and little secrets about the city that make the discovery even more lively and exciting.
Between the landscapes, the unusual places, the sensations of the sidecar, and Stéphane's personality, we experienced a true moment of escape and mother-daughter bonding.
I recommend this experience without hesitation to anyone who wishes to discover a different, authentic, and unexpected Lisbon, with a driver who will know how to transport you… literally and figuratively!
A wonderful memory that we will keep for a long time. ❤️
Operator response
Quel bonheur de découvrir un avis aussi généreux et joliment écrit ! Vos mots me touchent profondément, car ils racontent exactement ce que j’espère offrir à travers chaque balade : bien plus qu’une simple visite de Lisbonne, une véritable parenthèse de liberté, de découverte et de partage.
J’ai été très heureux de vous accompagner, votre fille et vous, à travers ce Lisbonne plus secret que j’aime tant, jusqu’à ces paysages ouverts sur l’océan qui donnent l’impression que le temps s’arrête un instant. Mais le plus beau reste de savoir que cette aventure en side-car est devenue un souvenir précieux de votre complicité mère-fille.
Merci du fond du cœur pour votre confiance, votre enthousiasme et la délicatesse de ce témoignage. Votre jolie formule sur le fait de vous avoir « transportées, au sens propre comme au figuré » restera longtemps avec moi. Cette rencontre fut également un très beau moment, et j’espère sincèrement que nos chemins se croiseront à nouveau ❤️

Why settle for a tuk tuk when you can have a vintage motorcycle!!
Absolutely fantastic way to see Lisbon. Driving up and down the winding streets and seeing all the beautiful views of the harbour and bridges. Stephane and Gus were knowledgeable, and fun and really went out of the way to make sure we had a great time. Definitely made our Lisbon visit memorable! Thank you both so much!
