About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jamie L0 contributionsBest (and safe) way to take in the best of Lisbon for family with teens.We are a family of 4 with 2 young teens. This is the first time in Lisbon and going on bike with side car was the best way to take all of this beautiful city in! They journey was surprisingly smooth, and comfortable, and we felt safe the whole time in the hands of our riders and guides Louise and George. Both gentlemen kept the experience exciting, packed with interesting stories relevant to us and our teens. And it’s obvious the constant flow of positive energy from these gentlemen came from pure passion in showing the best of Lisbon (Portugal) to us. In addition, the entire experience from the onset of my booking online with Daniel (owner) was great. He engaged me via WhatsApp, sending me reminders and weather updates and was very responsive throughout. Kudos to Daniel, Louise and George. Thank you for giving us a wonderful and memorable experience. Keep doing what you do!Written November 18, 2023

- B1855LDjimt0 contributionsUnmatched tour experience of LisbonThis was by far the best way to experience and orientate to Lisbon. My husband and I are from NY and had never been to Portugal before; we finished the two hour tour confidently informed thanks to this thoughtful and charming experience with Daniel. He provided so much history and highlights of magical Lisbon and expertly embodied what makes Portugal so very special. We HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking for a unique and informative tour of Lisbon!Written May 7, 2023

- georgasimmons0 contributionsBike my side travel around LisbonThe best money spent. Wish I did it on my first day in Lisbon. Daniel drove me around Lisbon and we covered about 40 kilometres. We stopped at imported sites where Daniel explained the significance of the site and the history. I highly recommend the tour. Book in on the first day in Lisbon.Written February 11, 2023
- Jyonk0 contributionsSidecar tourThis tour was fantastic. Highly recommend doing this tour early in your travels so you can better plan your other days. Safe, friendly, fun. Go for it!!!Written June 29, 2022
- 881primap0 contributionsJeep Tour South of the RiverMy friends and I packed into Daniel’s Jeep and began the tour with an exhilarating ride across the 25 de Abril Bridge. That alone was worth it. We also saw a variety of spots we would never have found on our own including an abandoned military base and family-run vineyard. Daniel was very knowledgeable and chill. If you’re looking for a unique tour, book this.Written October 10, 2021
- 030419580 contributionsGet a true taste of Lisbon & SintraA stunning coastal trip towards Sintra stopping off to experience the unique and wild beauty of Cabo da Roca & just before arriving at Sintra a visit to the Capuchos Monastery. Our driver went out of his way to make our day really special. He even helped us locate a secluded restaurant on the beach where we enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch!Written May 20, 2021
- Coastal040898975060 contributionsBest tour guide! And so much fun!We visited Lisbon but had only 3 days. Daniel gave us a historic tour and a lay of the land on the side bikes. It was informational, fun, easy and comfortable getting around. Loved every minute of it and so did our teen aged daughters. We decided to follow up for an open jeep tour to Sintra. We thought a day long tour would be too much but we went for a it anyway and had no regrets. Again, similar experiences. Learned a lot and enjoyed our talks. Sintra is magical. We stopped to eat and at various great picture spots. It truly made our visit to Portugal unique and I truly recommend it!! It’s also a great town, fresh food, nice people, and inexpensive. You can’t go wrong. We will definitely be back and will definitely contact Daniel as well.Written May 17, 2021
- Hauzgrl140 contributionsFun TourSept. 2018 I visited Portugal. I was so excited to take the sidecar tour with Daniel but unfortunately due to protest and road blocks the day of my tour we had to change the sidecar tour to the Vespa tour. I was disappointed; however, riding around Lisbon on a Vespa was awesome. Daniel was a great tour guide. I was able to see so much and hear so much about Lisbon. Very safe too. I highly recommend taking a tour with Daniel. Note: TripAdvisor did not inched the month/year of my trip; hence, the discrepancy in travel date.Written May 17, 2021
- webbo140 contributionsFantastic trip and a wonderful guide.This was a fantastic was to do a whistlestop tour of Lisbon taking in all the main sights, with a really informed and professional guide. The motorbike and sidecar was great fun and a novel way to see the city highly recommended.Written May 17, 2021

- montill20150 contributionscool and extraordinary experienceDoing a city tour with Bike my side was a recommendation from our friends living near Lisbon. It was a great start to getting to know the city and its surroundings. We always felt safe with Daniel navigating Lisbon traffic professionally and prudently. Daniel (the owner and driver) was very responsive to all our questions and wishes, plus he has a broad knowledge about his beloved city and what’s going on where, so you gain lots of very good insights. A really cool and extraordinary experience that we always love to remember 🤩Written June 6, 2020
- bhairavim0 contributionsWhat a fantastic way to see Lisbon by night!I am so glad we decided to tour Lisbon by night with Daniel & Jorgel! That set the tone for our visit to Lisbon. Daniel recommended we take the bike ride on the day we arrived. We started at 7pm and finished at 11pm! Daniel and Jorge were well versed with the history of Lisbon through out our ride and showed us every significant facet of Lisbon! Daniel had extra coats and blankets for us as it was quite chilly in the night. He took us to the old neighbourhoods as well as the newer developments like the LX Factory. The kids enjoyed sitting in the side car with helmets and strangers gawking at us wherever we went. We finished the tour eating Pastel de Nata from the Pasties de Belem! By the time our tour ended we knew everything about Lisbon and had seen all the areas of this magnificent city! I would highly recommend a tour of Lisbon with Daniel & Jorge!Written November 3, 2019
- CATHERINE M0 contributionsHighlight of our Lisbon StayHad a fantastic time with Daniel and Luis. They took me, husband, 2 x 20 yr old sons on an informative and exciting tour. I felt we saw all the city - fantastic introduction to Lisbon. We got to see highlights, places to return to and ended eating nata - perfect. I'm not a very adventurous person but I felt perfectly safe on the back of the bike. My son and I swapped between pillion and sidecar on the various stops. Daniel gave such an interesting insight into Lisbon, it's culture and history. He and Luis were considerate of our pasty parlour and made sure we were in the shade. They took photos for us so we have some of our best group family shots for years. LOVED IT!Written September 13, 2019

We did the sidecar visit of Lisbon by night quite a few years ago and it's probably one of our most vivid memories! I highly recommend it. We took turns riding in the back of the motorcycle or in the sidecar, and i recommend you do the same as it's a very different experience depending where you are seating. The sidecar looks fabulous to begin with, and not only is it fun to do, but Daniel showed us tons of places around Lisbon, sharing stories and tips. I remember wondering why every city didn't offer this kind of visit, because it's a great way to see the sights and often we travel as a couple so makes total sense.
PS: for those who are not used to riding behind a motorbike, Daniel is a very careful driver, and we felt safe the whole time.

I booked a sidecar tour with Bike My Side after seeing the Netflix show Somebody Feed Phil, for an upcoming trip to Lisbon. Daniel, the owner, confirmed my reservation and was at the hotel ready to go (early) on the date. I highly suggest doing the tour at the beginning of your trip so you get the lay of the land, some history on Lisbon, and a taste of each of the neighborhoods to plan the rest of your days in the city. We covered so much in 3 hours, places we wouldn't have had time to see in our short 3 day stay if we hadn't done the tour.
The sidecar tour and afternoon spent with Daniel was an absolute blast. He clearly loves his city and is so knowledgable on the history, which he shares in a fun and engaging way - we learned so much!!
We did the tour in early Jan, and even though it was a gorgeous sunny day, it was still a bit cold. Not to worry - Daniel had extra jackets and a blanket.
The sidecar ride itself was safe, comfortable and so fun. The sidecar can go down the smaller alleys that the cars can't, and it was great to get a 360 view of the sites.
Can't recommend this enough!!!

We spent a fabulous afternoon with Daniel exploring Lisbon .I can honestly say it was the tour we have ever taken and the bike/sidecar was easily the best way to see the highlights of Lisbon on a fleeting visit.Be prepared to turn heads it's a really quirky way to get about It is clear Daniel is incredibly proud of his city and rightly so.The trip was amazing value and Daniel was happy to be flexible around what we would like to see.The bike/sidecar was immaculate and well maintained and as motorcycle phobic person ( trip was a surprise for hubby)I felt incredibly safe . Hopefully as the world opens up more people will grab the opportunity.Thankyou Daniel

Whilst in Lisbon for a four day city break, my wife and I decided to take the unusual step of taking the motorcycle and sidecar tour of the city with Bike My Side, To our surprise it turned out to be one of our best experiences ever whilst on holiday. As it turned out our guide, Louis, was punctual, professional and personable. We toured the city in the motorcycle and sidecar to what felt like every main attraction available spending approximately three hours in Louis’s capable company, with plenty of comfort breaks to stretch your legs etc. I don’t think there was much Louis didn’t know about the history of Lisbon which proved interesting and enjoyable. He even went to the trouble of trying to find a supermarket that stocked my favourite tipple. Would we recommend this excursion, most definitely and I would advise anyone else considering this way to spend time sightseeing around Lisbon, Bike My Side is the perfect option.

We had such fun on our first tour with Bike my Side that we booked a second one a few months later whilst we were on a cruise stop in Lisbon! On both occasions (back in 2016/17), we were two couples and we were all really well looked after by our guides. It was a fantastic way to explore the city and learn so much of it's history. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone - create a real stand-out memory for yourselves!! On our second trip, we were met at the quayside, and were the envy of many of our fellow passengers!!

The sidecar is a head-turner when you zoom through the city & the history of Lisboa is fascinating. My sister recommended Bike My Side since they toured with Daniel on a previous trip. It was a perfect anniversary adventure on our first day in Portugal! The weather went from warm & sunny to cold & rainy, but Luis was prepared with rain jackets. He picked us up from our hotel right on time, and communication with Daniel on scheduling was excellent. He even helped with hotel recommendations since we hadn’t yet booked when I reached out. This is an absolute MUST-DO if you’re visiting this gorgeous city.

This tour, by far, was my absolute favorite thing I did in Lisbon. It was incredible how much we were able to see. Daniel, my guide, taught me about the history of Lisbon, while sharing details about fine dining and and the arts. Cruising in the side car was not only fun, but comfortable. He easily maneuvered narrow streets and busy highways, while stopping many times for photos, interesting conversation and even pastries. If you are traveling as a couple or solo, the sidecar tour is a “must do”! Such a spectacular day!!

Daniel has an amazing team (we hade Jorge on this second experience) and it is such a cool way to see the city and it's narrow streets. Definitely a highlight of a trip to Lisbon!

This was so fun and a great tour of Lisboa, I had to do it again when I brought my sister and girl friends back with me the year after my husband and I traveled Portugal.
It's a perfect way to see all around Lisboa. Daniel is very informative, he gives you just the right amount of information without boring you! I recommend doing this tour on your first day, giving you the perfect lay of the land for the remaining days in the city.
I did the tour in May 2017 and 2018

Wow! This has got to be the best way to see the city.
Luis gave a friendly introduction to Lisbon and where we would be going on the tour and then we were off.
The sidecar was comfortable even with a few bumps in the road, and the open air kept me cool as we drove through the city streets.
Luis found a perfect balance of sharing facts and anecdotes without giving overwhelming amounts of information. We saw many of the city's key features, with a few stops to stretch the legs on the way.
For me it was the perfect way to get a flavour of the city, and over the next couple of days I returned to several of the places I had spotted during the journey.
Riding in a sidecar was on my bucket list and this experience exceeded my expectations. Book your tour now!
