You know it’s a winner when the kids want to go again! - Thank you Rodigo for a fun and memorable highlight of our short time in Portugal! His thoughtful route with all terrains and spectacular views won over both our 14 and 11 year olds. You can get super active on this ride or hit Turbo mode when you want to cruise. The lunch venue was lush - we wouldn’t have found it on our own. Rodrigo also took great footage and compiled a little reel which I thought was so above and beyond. The girls are begging us to book another route with Rodrigo before we go. Such a fun day.

Exceeds already high expectations! - Let me just add to the chorus praising Rodrigo and this fantastic bike trip! Just do yourself a favor and go. He's great, the bikes are great, and the sights are great (make sure you go to the monastery for the super view). Guincho beach for lunch was a perfect lunch spot. We're self-described "active seniors" aged 63 and 66 and it wasn't a tough ride but was challenging just enough to break a good sweat. A perfect day with a great guide, muito obrigado Rodrigo!

Super Fun Bike Tour - Small Business Owner and tour guide Rodrigo is super knowledgeable and really knows the ins and outs of the area. We had very high winds forecasted for that day, so we took our group to a safe but still breathtaking viewing point that is nowhere on the map. If you are comfortable biking trails, this is an adventure you must not miss. I am hoping to return with my friends to Portugal one day and take another one of Rodrigo’s bespoke tour from Lisbon to Nazareth. See you then!

Fantastic E-bike ride with an amazing guide! - Such a beautiful bike ride. The help of riding an e-bike made this very comfortable and not difficult at all. Rodrigo is an amazing guide and he will take you to some wonderful viewpoints along the way. I just wish I had more time to spend in Cascais after getting a glimpse of it during the tour. I definitely recommend this tour. It’s amazing!

Outstanding E-Bike Tour from Cascais to Sintra - If you’re in Portugal and looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend the e-bike tour from Cascais to Sintra. This tour, expertly guided by the incredible Rodrigo, is a perfect blend of scenic beauty, local culture, and thrilling exploration. Rodrigo, our guide, was exceptional. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the area made the tour engaging and informative. He shared captivating stories and historical insights at every stop, making us appreciate the rich heritage and natural beauty of this region even more. The tour began in the charming coastal town of Cascais. Riding along the stunning coastline on our comfortable and well-maintained e-bikes, we made our way to an abandoned monastery. The monastery, perched on a hill with an unmatched view of the surrounding landscape, was a highlight of the trip. Rodrigo’s storytelling brought the history of this serene and somewhat mysterious location to life. We also visited Quinta do Pisão, a beautiful and tranquil farm where we had the chance to see various animals and sample local delicacies. Rodrigo introduced us to bee pollen and queijadas, a traditional Portuguese pastry, giving us a taste of the local flavors. The visit was both educational and delightful, adding a unique touch to our adventure. Our next stop was for a lovely beachside lunch at Bar do Guincho. The setting was perfect, with the sound of waves and the fresh sea breeze enhancing our delicious meal. The local cuisine was delectable, and it was a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy the company of fellow riders. The e-bikes made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable, effortlessly handling the varied terrain and allowing us to focus on the stunning scenery and rich cultural experiences. This e-bike tour from Cascais to Sintra is a must-do for anyone looking to explore this beautiful part of Portugal in a fun and engaging way. Highly recommended!

Phenomenal ride & experience! - We absolutely loved this gorgeous ride with Rodrigo! He’s so knowledgeable, welcoming, and supportive. Our 9-year-old had some moments when she was challenged on the ride and his coaching & support for her was pitch-perfect, building her confidence as he helped her through the tougher spots. And the scenery! From the ornate castles of Sintra, over the mountain covered in pine woods, through gorgeous fields of flowers - it was just delightful at every turn. We can’t wait to go back & recommend this trip very highly!
