“I had an amazing electric bike tour in Lisbon with Ricardo! He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but also super fun to talk to. His energy made the whole experience feel relaxed and engaging from start to finish — even when it rained a bit and the hilly roads got slippery. What made it even more special was discovering that Ricardo is also a talented rapper and artist — you can truly feel his creativity and passion in the way he shares Lisbon’s story. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see the city from a unique perspective with someone who genuinely…”

“This was a great way to start our week in Lisbon. Raquel picked us up at our hotel right after we arrived, and we spent the next hour and a half getting to know the different areas of the city. She familiarized us enough that we were comfortable getting around the rest of the week on foot. I would recommend this to anyone coming into the city for the first time. It is a great way to get a first look around before setting out to explore on our own.”
