Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood and the most charming one, it’s considered the historic soul of Lisbon and its steep, cobblestoned lanes stand just as they were in medieval times. This area is best known for its fado houses and the great festivities of Lisbon which honors “Santo António” (St. Anthony) during the month of June, luring thousands of people into the streets. This neighbourhood resisted to the terrible earthquake of 1755 and this is one of the main reasons that contributed to the preservation of its authenticity. This charming area retains some of the Moorish atmosphere with its alleys, staircases and clothes drying on the windows.

eBikes were in good condition and worked very well considering the very steep hills of the area. We were given an opportunity to practice on a flat surface at the start of the tour which was great. 95% of the tour requires you to bike on road alongside traffic which was a bit dangerous, lots of cars, steep hills, narrow streets, pedestrians. Guide did not have clear path of where we were going he seemed to be deciding on the fly. This meant he did not give instructions to us until the last second. Many times we were scrambling through intersections and at some points he had us stop part way up a hill before knowing which direction we were going. To engage the eBike you need to peddle. You can't balance on a bike on an incline and peddle, you must start on a flat surface. Many times had to either walk heavy bike up rest of hill or return to bottom of hill to be able to peddle and start up hill again. Not an easy tour to follow someone. Not so bad if you know where you are going.

Our guide Luis was very informative, kept us going at a good pace but was always considerate of safety, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We only had a day in Lisbon so it was a great way to get orientated and see a lot of the old town and moorish area of Lisbon, whilst learning about some of the history of this fascinating city.

Laurencio (hope I spelled that right) was a very patient and fabulous guide. Quick review how to work the bikes and we were off. With Lisbon having so many hills the electric bike was a treat. Wonderful areas taken to with fabulous views and of course having an informative guide essential. Small group was also a bonus. Would really recommend this experience

Our family LOVED this tour! We had the best time going up and down the hills of Lisbon on this tour. My chain fell off a few times and one of our bikes ran out before the end but we're an adventure loving family so, all was good! Our tour guide James was amazing too! Definitely recommend--now my husband wants and electric bike!

Good introduction to e-bikes and a fun way to see the less accessible parts of the city to other vehicles. Our guide Simon was great - very knowledgeable and informative. I was a nervous rider but felt very safe even when riding the busy city streets. Fortunately a lot of the tour was on quieter roads / paths. Got off the bike regularly to look around / take pics which I liked but my husband would have preferred longer cycling and less stops. Overall a really good experience and value for money - thank you.
