This lived up the reviews - the segways are great and the scenery amazing. Vasco was so patient with our occasional mishaps and always concerned to give us the best possible time. He even dropped the DVD off at our b&b before we'd even gone out for the evening as we were leaving the following day. Don't be fooled not... More

have been in Cascais for 3 days and we took 3 segway tours with my wife. Must say, this was a unique experience. Each day we have been to a different part of the hill, and each day was different from another. Vasco showed us places we would never visit and see ourselves. The forest is extraordinary, I have never... More

Vasco made this trip memorable. Not only was it really cool to take segways off road, it was made even better by Vasco. He even gave that extra customer service by taking pictures and videos of me and my colleagues while going up and down the various hills and trails. I will be talking about this trip for years to...

The Segway machines were fun and felt like 2nd nature after a bit of tuition. We had some pictures and videos of the experience to take away, which was needed as there is no way you could take pictures yourself. Certainly one of the highlights from our break. Vasco was more than happy to accommodate our needs on the day.... More

We went on the skinny option of the tour (through the woods), really good value as the tour lasted for around 3hours, and we had a lot of fun. Vasco was a really good guide, he showed us what to do, and really looked after us when we got stuck. The tour was really fun, we went through the forest... More

Loved this tour, it was one of our holiday highlights (and we have a dvd and pictures taken as part of the tour to prove it). Great views, great fun and Vasco is a great instructor and tour guide (spoke perfect English). The segways are awesome and Sintra forest is the perfect playground to explore. We can thoroughly recommend you... More

I recently went on a Silencetour in the mountains outside Cascais, and it was immediately evident why this activity is so highly rated here on Trip Advisor. I have only one caution about going on a Silencetour: it sets a really high bar for fun that will be difficult for future Segway tours you take to live up to. This... More

Not much to add to previous entries - brilliant day out, wonderful views, Vasco is a patient and helpful guide. One word of warning - off road is not as easy as on road. The segway has difficulty carrying heavyweights (like me >110K) up steeper hills and ridges, resulting in a couple of minor falls. However, this did not diminish... More

If you are in the Lisbon, Sintra or Cascais area just go do it! The scenery is amazing and the off-road Segways are a blast. A lot easier to use than they look and a lot of fun on mountain tracks. The company also offers tours on some milder terrain. We spend a few days in the Lisbon area for... More

The tour takes you to the fabulous area of Sintra that is off the beaten path for most tourists. You enjoy the nature, fabulous views, the stories of the guide, while breathing in the clean air and having some fun on the segway!!! Cannot be more complete and more fun! The segway is easy to learn for anyone of any... More
