A good way to discover your next destination is by bicycling! If you are a regular cyclist or even just a vacationer, the ride Lisbon tour suits you.
Our itinerary is always descending and flat so there is no necessity to provide any effort.
We’ll ride the 15km route during 3.5h hours from the city center with many stops on our way to Belém!
During our visit we’ll stop at some points where I’ll explain about what’s around.
We’re connecting Lisbon and viewpoints with memorable stories and facts on bike.
Finally we’ll end our visit with a sweet pastry in Belém where I’ll give you my best recommandations for restaurants and monuments to visit before to move back to our departure point in the city center.
It's the perfect way to get around in the city. It will be an experience you'll never forget!

The bike tour with Thomas was excellent from start to finish. We were a group of 8 but it was easy to stick with the group while biking and I never felt left behind. Thomas has an immense knowledge of Lisbon and Portugal in general. His fun and laid back personality made it the experience that much more enjoyable. The treats he provided along the way were a bonus! The bikes were in great condition (like new!) and were very comfortable. The bike route was mostly along the water so the level of effort was easy. He provided an extensive list of restaurant recommendations after the tour which proved to be very useful. I highly recommend booking this tour if you are looking for a comfortable way to explore and learn about Lisbon!

It was unforgettable! Thomas was very friendly and kind, he showed me a lot of interesting places and told a lot of stories and historical facts about the city. The bikes are very comfortable to drive and the route is very easy so even children can manage with it. We spent wonderful 3,5 hours , made about 18 km along the city and saw a lot of must seen spots of the city. I highly recommend this tour to start your Lisbon trip because it gives you enough info to plan your further experience in the city. Thanks Thomas!

This was by far the highlight of my trip to Lisbon. Thomas is an engaging and knowledgeable guide and he was helpful in giving us extra tips about where to go in Lisbon after the bike tour. The bike ride was a lovely way to see the city, and was not difficult so I would recommend this experience to everyone. I suggest this to be one of the first things to do in Lisbon, as it gives a good idea of the city and Thomas has great ideas about what to do and where to eat!

While planning our trip we saw many recommendations online to do a bike tour of Lisbon to help get a sense of the city and are grateful we booked Thomas' tour. It was our favorite thing that we did in Lisbon! Thomas provided a unique experience through his personal knowledge and connections throughout the different parts of the tour - it's like riding around the city with a celebrity! There are a few surprises along the way. We absolutely loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone we know going to Lisbon. Definitely do it on your first day, you cover a lot of ground and it really gives you perspective into the different areas of the city that you may want to explore in more detail on your own.

This biking adventure was hands down the best tour we did in Lisbon. Thomas was great, we learned a lot of the history of Lisbon, and got a ton of great recommendations on exploring and experiencing everything else the city has to offer. I highly recommend!

Thomas was very welcoming, and kindly waited as I was running a little late. He has a lot of knowledge about the history of Portugal and is passionate about the history and sharing what makes the area of Lisbon, Portugal unique. He shared a lot of interesting points that I had no clue about; and the treats along the way were a special touch. Being able to visit the first neighborhood (village) of Lisbon, the history and current state was interesting. The entire experience was well paced, great information, interesting points, and engaging. Thomas is highly recommended and I would definitely bring family and friends to do this experience. It’s also a great way to see areas that you want to come back and spend more time exploring. Try it out, you will not regret it.

My family and I had a great time biking in Lisbon with Thomas. He is very genuine and passionate about history of Portugal and made the trip to be a fun experience. We met at the bike shop that was easy to find and head out to town. It was our first time in Lisbon and we all had a great time. My favorite part was visiting Alfama /eating fresh fried sardines and learning of its unique history. Portuguese are very welcoming and caring people. If you are visiting in first part of June (teen digits) join their festivals that every town hosts that month. I would recommend this tour to all of my friends and family.

We just finished an afternoon with Thomas and a few other amazing tourists. From the moment we arrived (and even before with quick responses to a couple of questions) Thomas made us feel welcome. My family of four (including two teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed the sites, explanations, bike ride and of course pastries. The ride is 90% on a bike path which was a nice relief both for myself and our family. I highly recommend this tour!!! Thanks again Thomas

This tour was great! Thomas gave us super interesting insider insights into the life and history of Lisbon. The route was easy to cycle and ranged from old city parts (alfama) to modern (belem & lxfaxtory). Even though it started raining Thomas didn't lose the good vibes and always checked with us on our preferences. He's a lot of fun. Would definitely join again!

Thomas was very accommodating and a great tour guide who gave us a very thorough and enjoyable tour around the key landmarks of Lisbon. Also offered great recommendations to some of the best restaurants and places to go in the city after the tour. 10 out of 10 , definitely recommended!😊

I just want to make sure--the trip ends in Belem so I can meet up with someone there? Also--what time is the trip? Thank you!

It’s round trip, there is another company that ends in Belem and you’re responsible for the trip back. Look for Lisbon Bike Tour: Downtown Lisbon to Belém

Hi! We have two 9yr old, almost 10 yrs old. They are great bike riders. Is there any way we could have them take this tour with you?

I didn't think of this as a difficult bike ride at all. If I'd had children with me, my only concern would have been the several areas where we either used or crossed streets to get back to a path, and the times when we had to share the path with pedestrians. So, less a problem with endurance than with navigation. It was probably a 5 mile ride over the course of a couple of hours. You might do well to stay behind and close to your children. We did enjoy this tour.

I have several questions about this tour :
- only one time of day to start this tour ?
- where do we meet / start ?
- how do we book electric bikes instead of normal ones and at which price ? How do we specify that ?
- how long can we stay at the typical Belem monuments ? E.g. Belem tower : only 10 minutes ?
- how long do we get free time to discover Belem by ourselves ?
- what about the return trip : the entire distance at once, or also interesting stops ? Or do we park the bikes and return to the starting point on our own behalf ?
- whom do we get the information from ? TripAdvisor ? The agency "Ride Lisbon" ? Other ?
Any other practical info more than welcome !
