Andres was an amazing tour guide. We got to see so much of Sintra and he was extremely knowledgeable. We got to bike to some very cool places and local.

We had an amazing private e-bike tour with Tomas. Five stars *****. This was the highlight of our 8 days in Lisbon and the surrounding areas. It was so much fun, the bikes are easy to use and make light work of those hills! We explored Sintra and then the coast with Tomas, and his local input and knowledge made it a much more authentic experience than just wandering through the beautiful, but over-populated main attractions of Sintra. Thank you Tomas!

This was the most amazing and fun tour and i cannot recommend it more highly as we saw all of the wonderful monuments Sintra had to offer with a very friendly and informative guide Tomas. It was such fun and so beautiful and the bikes were excellent quality and easy to operate. Tomas was so kind and helpful and I think this has been an absolute highlight of our trip. If you’re coming to Sintra make sure you book this tour.

I am compelled to write a bad review because of the dangers of this tour. My father and I tried to go on this tour, but had to stop early on because the bikes are outdated and broken. For two bikes the manual gears didn't work properly and the other bike the electric accelerator didn't work. We were too far away from the starting point to change bikes. I've ridden other bikes that are in much better condition, lighter with more power, so assuming these are either old or inexpensive models. Furthermore, they barely give any instruction on how to use the bike, but instead you start on a very busy street going up a hill. We were on the tour with two women, who also stopped because of how dangerous it was. When I complained, they said they would review the situation and decide whether to give me a refund. When I was complaining, they asked how old my Dad was (he's in his 70s). My father is perfectly capable of riding a bike that is working and instead of focusing on that, they were looking for excuses. I've followed up on the evaluation and refund, but no response. I am researching how to report this company to a Portuguese government agency regarding tourist safety.

After about a half hour, we had only ridden maybe half a mile due to the other companions who had trouble using the bike which took time and energy away from the event. I ended up leaving the tour early so we could do our own walking event. Unfortunate that this happened but still a beautiful area to view.

Tomas spoke excellent English and was very knowledgable about the local area and history. He pitched his talk really well and didn’t go overboard on the history. He made sure we had plenty of opps to get a drink and be in the shade. The bikes are very powerful and make it easy to go up the steep hills in Sinatra! It was a great tour and I would really recommend this company.

lizzyelks

Thomas was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgable. Made us feel very safe. The bikes were excellent quality. Fantastic afternoon. We have booked a full day with Thomas as a result. Would highly recommend.

anielsen_abc

What a fabulous day with Tomás Silva on the inaugural fat tire e-bike tour of Sintra. Tomás was as excited as we were to venture into secret parts of the Biester Palace. He navigated us safely on the cobblestone streets of Sintra and treated us to a lifetime of Portuguese history in bite-sized portions.

Callie D

Our guide, Alex, was very informative and friendly! We greatly enjoyed our tour and learning about some of Portugal’s history. He was flexible with our requests/preferences and went above and beyond to make sure we had a personalized experience. We will highly recommend this tour to everyone we can!
