The tour begins with a briefing on how the bikes work. Then, head to Rossio station to catch the train for Sintra. During the train trip, you’ll have time to let your guide know if you’d like to visit some of the palaces along the way or if you just want to cycle. When you arrive in Sintra, you can visit the National Palace if you like. Most of your cycling tour takes place within the natural park of Sintra-Cascais. You’ll have the option of visiting Quinta da Regaleira, built between 1904 and 1910, a place renowned for its symbolism, magic, and mystery. Shortly after you’ll pass by Seteais, a former 18th-century palace that is now a 5-star hotel.   Continue your trip along roads flanked by majestic groves until you reach the entrance of Monserrate Park and Palace, one of the most beautiful creations in the Portuguese Romanticism style. Arrive at Colares, a place that’s well known for its vineyards. Continue on to Penedo village, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views from the atrium of the church, before cycling on to Urgueira village. Take a break for lunch in Azóia village, where you’ll find a great variety of restaurants. With renewed energy, continue your tour through an ancient forest and make your way up to the Peninha Sanctuary, located 488 meters above sea level. From here, you’ll have a panoramic view of the Espichel Cape and Arrábida, to the south, Carvoeiro Cape and Berlengas, to the north, and the entire Sintra mountain to the northeast. Returning to the center of Sintra, you’ll cycle downhill and have one last look at Pena Palace, an important monument of the Portuguese Romanticism movement. You’ll be traveling with an informative and helpful guide, as passionate about beloved Sintra as about cycling. Alternatively, go down to Guincho wild beach – with its never-ending dunes and typical winds that are so treasured by windsurfing lovers – until you reach the bicycle path to Cascais. Return to Lisbon through the beautiful town of Cascais by train where you will have one of the most amazing views over the Portuguese coast.

Brilliant tour of Lisbon with David. Recommend a 2 hour plus experience to see as much as you can on zippy segways. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide, he soon put my young sons fears at ease as he mastered Segway within a couple of minutes training from David. Lisbon is covered in hills so this tour made life a breeze as we watched people struggling up steep inclines. Good knowledge of the city from a true local. Would recommend you do these tours as your first activity as it definately helps you with your bearings and makes the rest of your trip easy to plan. Highly recommended your with a fantastic guide.

The system had overbooked, but they found a solution and made it happen anyway. The staff was friendly, the instructions on how to drive the segway was patient and precise. We had chosen a tour in english and the guide was eysy to understand. The tour was interesting and fun. It is a good way to see Lisbon, you cover a large area without getting tired and you are still close to the the city as a contrast to a tour on a bus. A fun and informative activity. Thank you. to our guide David!

Sofia was a great guide bringing the city to life. Many trips take you to cafes to get a cake as an extra, it was pleasantly surprising that this was within the price. A good visit was improved by the tour

David was very friendly and very knowledgeable, the whole experience was great fun and I would definitely recommend it

This was the best thing I did in Lisbon! Would highly recommend, if you're on the fence go for it.
