A perfect day with a perfect guide and tour-mates! - This tour is really an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide Maya was so genuine thoughtful and passionate about the experience she provided us on this curated tour she put together. All the views and different rides through towns, mountains, forest, beaches etc. were so incredible. I would recommend this as the top thing to do on Lisbon if you have any interest in biking and scenic adventures. From your new friends in the states Chad & Reese … Thanks Maya!

Best Lisbon Tour - Our group included my family of 4, one other couple, and our wonderful guides, Miguel & Leo. Few words can describe just how amazing and magical we all thought the tour turned out to be. At first, Miguel guided us to the mountain of Sintra, stopping at key points to show the incredible views and sharing his knowledge of his country. The tour ended up feeling private and unique throughout as they took us through an off beaten path through the forest where the views looked as if they came out of a movie, they were so picturesque. Miguel was always at the front, guiding us and Leo was at the back of the group, making sure we all stayed together. Miguel's charm, silliness, and art of storytelling made us feel truly happy to be there. The tour ended at Cascais and not only were we given the opportunity to jump in the ocean but Miguel and Leo went above and beyond as they helped us find the sock my daughter dropped and that had sunk to the bottom. If you enjoy biking you must take this tour. We highly recommend it. This is the best bang for your buck!!

Awesome day out - I had a fantastic day with Rodrigo - great sites to see, informative and interesting host, and we were introduced to a great spot for lunch that I'd have never found on my own if I lived in Lisbon for a decade! Would definitely recommend :)

So glad I did this e-bike tour!!! - What an amazing day and experience on the e-bike tour of Sintra- Cascais! If you want to get an birdseye view of the area, taste the local cuisine, learn about the history and culture of the area, enjoy being in nature then this trip is for you! Our guide Rodrigo was excellent and made sure that we enjoyed our day from beginning to end. He tailored the tour to our levels, always looking out for our comfort, safety and ENJOYMENT! I took the tour my second day in Lisbon and what a great way to start my trip ! Rodrigo made sure we tried the traditional baked goods and we had the most wonderful seafood at a restaurant that he knew served fresh and tasty food. We were able to bike to the highest point in the area to get an incredible view of Cobo de Roca and area. To get there we went through lovely forests and saw a few large birds. The e-bikes made the ascent so easy! And the descent was fun. From beginning to end, Rodrigo stopped at key areas to tell a story, history or take a picture. He also is a very good e-bike teacher and coach (I wasn’t very familiar with riding an e-bike but got quickly comfortable with his instruction). I almost didn’t sign up for this tour because I was concerned it would all be too hot (August) but I was pleasantly surprised! Sintra was pleasant and the higher we got the cooler and breezier it got. Rodrigo kindly brought us jackets but we didn’t wear them because the cool breeze was so refreshing after being so hot all summer! The bike ride along Cascais was a bit warm but definitely manageable! I highly recommend this tour for someone who really wants to get to know the area without feeling the need/want to visit the palaces. I may save that for another trip but I’ll most likely repeat the e-bike tour instead! Thanks again, Rodrigo, for this exceptional tour!

Beautiful must do tour! - Such a great experience. We had some technical problems but we stayed relaxed and still had an amazing time. Rodrygo and Andre are great! They've led us for 8 hours over the tour, and we are some delicious sweets in the morning, ate at a great local restaurant, and we had the best view of Sintra, basically the first thing you say is 'WOW'. Then afterwards we cycled along the beach, super duper relaxed and beautiful. The ebikes are good so I didn't even sweat to be honest.

You'll be GLAD you did! - Hands down, this was the best e-bike tour experience we could ever have wished for. There were just 3 of us, 4 with Rodrigo our guide. He told us that due to heavy clouds the beautiful coastline of Caiscais would likely be blocked from view. However, the clouds made the trip 100 percent BETTER. They blocked out the heat + made the peaceful forests of Sintra appear misty and magical. What a bonus! Rodrigo is the ultimate guide: he's knowledgeable about history and local highlights, sensitive to individual strengths and limitations and attentive to our varying interests: like climbing hills? the e-bikes let you soar. Like stopping for photos? Rodrigo gives ample opportunity. I highly recommend this tour and I hope you have Rodrigo as your guide. You will NOT be disappointed!! If we ever come back here -- Free Lisbon Bike Tours will be our first stop❣️🇵🇹

An amazing way to see some of the most beautiful places in the world! - Andre was an excellent guide. He listened to and accommodated the needs of everyone on the tour. He was very knowledgeable and funny. The tour itself was made so much more accessible thanks to the ebikes which made the hills of Sintra a lot easier to navigate. An amazing way to see Sintra and Cascais while picking up some local knowledge and eating some lovely food on the way. We even got to stop off at the beach for a dip in the sea to cool down. An excellent day! Thank you!
