Rodrigo was the most fantastic tour guide - his professionalism yet relaxed approach throughout the ride enhanced our experience He was so attentive to our needs throughout the trip- we enjoyed a variety of terrain We would highly recommend him if youre considering a bike ride out of the city
This tour was fantastic! Rodrigo is a great guide & truly cares making the experience fun, comfortable & safe for everyone. Some parts of the trails were a bit strenuous, but the views were so worth it! Would definitely recommend this experience!
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! It was the best tour we did on our 10-day trip. The tour was exactly as described. Rodrigo was helpful, informative, and flexible. With e-bikes, you get as much of a workout as you’d like, and Rodrigo helps make sure the fit/mechanics are perfect and ensures that you stay hydrated throughout! The scenery is (obviously) gorgeous, and we appreciated being on paths/routes that we would never have been able to find on our own! While you certainly don’t need to be an adventurous biker to enjoy this activity (we aren’t!), I do think it would be a challenge for a particularly nervous/uncertain biker, since there are some significant hills and moderate uneven terrain. Rodrigo always made sure we were 100% safe. Again, highly recommend!!
Our bike tour with Rodrigo was excellent! He communicated well prior to the excursion. Rodrigo adapted the tour to the two of us because we had biking experience, souvenir shopping desire and were the only ones biking that day. Rodrigo was punctual in picking us up from our hotel, personable and shared lots of information about Lisbon and Cascais. We definitely will encourage our friends to book with him and we will as well when we return to the area.
Over some years of traveling, we’ve participated in many tours that were “knock our socks off” great. I think our e-bike tour with Júliano has set a new standard that will be hard to beat. The trip went off exactly as described, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to spend the day this way. It’s a GREAT way to get off the beaten path, get some exercise, and learn more about the geography/layout of the area. Would do this again in a heartbeat. We were picked up on time at our Lisbon hotel by Rodrigo and driven to our starting point in downtown Cascais to meet the rest of our cycling group. Júliano was leading that day’s ride and we were soon making our way out of town on the Trilho das Vinhas through a beautiful and fascinating countryside.The pace was steady, yet we kept moving because we had a lot of ground to cover (There was a stop for water/info at a facility about an hour into the ride.) - through Sintra Forest up to the top of the mountain for a couple of amazing viewpoints looking over Lisbon and the Atlantic. Then downhill to the beach for lunch (delicious, fresh options) before completing the 22 mile circuit back to Cascais (mileage as per Apple Watch- so don’t hold me to it.) The tour ended where it began - at the Cascais train station, where we could easily get a ticket and ride back to Lisbon. The e-bikes are great. You still have to peddle, but you have levels of assist. Most of the day was at a lower level (could have done without, but… why?) On the mountain climbs, I couldn’t have done it without the assist, but I guess that’s the beauty of e-bikes. My husband is ready to go e-bike shopping- so maybe that’s as good a testament as any?
My son and I had a wonderful adventure around Cascais and enjoyed having Pedro as our guide. It was a lot more legwork than I was expecting, even with an E bike, but I really appreciated the workout when we were going uphill. All of the views were spectacular, so I highly recommend this tour for those who enjoy a more active exploration of that area of Portugal.
We (family of 4) had so much fun on this ride! Juliano was very knowledgeable of the area and attentive at all times. We met him at the beach and immediately got riding, no time wasted on this tour! Saw many, many scenic views, especially at the top of the mountain. Stopped for lunch at a beachside cafe that was beautiful with great food (always buy your guide lunch if possible). 10/10 would recommend, and if you want a work out, you can avoid turbo mode.
We absolutely loved this adventure. Our guide ( Julian I think that's correct spelling) was great!!!! He showed us the beauty of CasCais Portugal and then we rode into the mountains of the Cascais and Sintra Forest. Stunning views. We then transition down the mountains through small villages and ended up on the coastline and had lunch at a great little restaurant overlooking the ocean in beaches. The final ride into town was great as you transitioned along the ocean.. if you can ride a bike, I highly advise you to try this e-bike tour.. One of the highlights of our trip
Rodrigo took amazing care of us and showed us the beautiful sites of the area. Despite the recent storms Rodrigo made sure we were on a safe route. The lunch stop had amazing views. We enjoyed Rodrigo’s informative tour and I plan to book this again when I return to Portugal in the future.
It was an amazing experience from the start to finish. Rodrigo was a fun and friendly guide. Would thoroughly recommend this trip.
What a fantastic experience! My teenage boys and I loved our day out with our guide Juliano. The national park and coastline are peaceful and beautiful. The cycling was made easy by the e-bikes and the route was perfect for my boys to enjoy but also for me (a nervous mountain biker!). Thank you Juliano!
Had an excellent time with Rodrigo and Juliano. We were picked up from our hotel which made it very convenient for us. Beautiful scenery along the way, bikes very easy to ride! We definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portugal! Thanks again for a great time, your Downers Grove, Illinois connections, Michael and Maritza Meifert
Fun bike ride through the mountains and along the coast! Rodrigo was very friendly and made sure we were all comfortable in the few sections of the tour that took you through Cascais.
Great ride. Beautifully scenic trails. Knowledgeable guide. Took great care of our 10 year old daughter - she had a great time
A wonderful ride. Rodrigo really cares about the experience. And it shows. Best thing we did while in Lisbon.
This was a fantastic way to spend a day in Lisbon! Our bike tour began and ended in Cascais, taking us through Sintra and along the stunning coastline, where we stopped for a delicious seaside lunch at a beach café. Our small group of five, plus our guide, made the experience feel personal and relaxed. Be prepared for some uphill riding, though the e-bikes make it manageable since you can adjust the level of pedal assist to match your comfort. Some sections of the route are on bumpy, gravelly roads, so it may not be the best option if you have joint or muscle concerns. Our guide, Juliano, was outstanding—fluent in English, knowledgeable about the history and culture of the areas we explored, and an all-around great leader. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to combine adventure, scenery, and history into an unforgettable experience.
This bike trip was the highlight of our trip. The e-bikes made the challenging stretches easy. The route was incredible, a beautiful ride thru the National park and an incredible ride up the coast. I would highly recommend it for anyone who likes to be active while seeing the sites.
A thorough and beautiful tour! Rodrigo took such good care of the participants and curated a fantastic experience. We saw Pena Palace from the Sintra National Park and went to nearly the Westernmost point in mainland Europe! This trip is suitable for beginner bike riders as well as experienced ones as Rodrigo is looking out for everyone!
A fantastic day. Rodrigo was a brilliant guide with excellent local and historical knowledge. The route was varied and enjoyable. The bikes were very good. We would recommend without hesitation.
This is experience did not feel like a tour. It felt as though we were visiting our friend in Portugal who wanted us to have an amazing experience. Rodrigo was saint-like answering my MANY texts about the weather and if we should cancel or not. For context, there was unprecedented rain and winds and even a small tornado in Portugal while we were there. There were many occasions when our path was blocked by downed trees or crew doing cleanup after the storm. you will see everything from bustling seaside town, beautiful farm and garden lands, as well as sand dunes and the Atlantic in full force That didn't stop our intrepid group. Rodrigo was great at navigating around obstacles and ensuring that we were safe and enjoyed our time. We did not get to go to Sintra because of the weather and other factors, but Rodrigo brought us a special treat to sample from one of the famous bakeries there, My 13 year old who is usually picky ate three! When we travel, we always do a bike tour as it is a great way to experience a new locale. My 16 year old who "hates everything" loved the ride and stated it was their favorite bike tour to date.We definitely rode at a good clip( we were trying to beat the rain) and the small group size made it easy to stay together. I would not hesitate to.book again with Rodrigo when we return to Portugal
Can't rate Rodrigo highly enough! Very accomodating when my bus to the meeting point was cancelled making me late and then I even ended up with a private tour because no one else had booked for that day. Knowledgeable about all the questions I had along the way and great for a chat when we had our lunch on the way back down. Highlight of my trip to Portugal! 👍👍
This ride was the highlight of our stay in Portugal. Rodrigo was a terrific guide, knowledgeable and fun. He made sure we saw fabulous sites and felt safe doing so. The bikes were high quality and very fun to ride. I’d do another tour with Rodrigo any time!
The tour is an excellent way to experience the beauty of both the mountains and the coastline. Rodrigo does a great job of leading the way and providing a friendly experience throughout the journey. Our group had lots of fun and will take home plenty of memories!
Thank you Rodigo for a fun and memorable highlight of our short time in Portugal! His thoughtful route with all terrains and spectacular views won over both our 14 and 11 year olds. You can get super active on this ride or hit Turbo mode when you want to cruise. The lunch venue was lush - we wouldn’t have found it on our own. Rodrigo also took great footage and compiled a little reel which I thought was so above and beyond. The girls are begging us to book another route with Rodrigo before we go. Such a fun day.
Let me just add to the chorus praising Rodrigo and this fantastic bike trip! Just do yourself a favor and go. He's great, the bikes are great, and the sights are great (make sure you go to the monastery for the super view). Guincho beach for lunch was a perfect lunch spot. We're self-described "active seniors" aged 63 and 66 and it wasn't a tough ride but was challenging just enough to break a good sweat. A perfect day with a great guide, muito obrigado Rodrigo!
Small Business Owner and tour guide Rodrigo is super knowledgeable and really knows the ins and outs of the area. We had very high winds forecasted for that day, so we took our group to a safe but still breathtaking viewing point that is nowhere on the map. If you are comfortable biking trails, this is an adventure you must not miss. I am hoping to return with my friends to Portugal one day and take another one of Rodrigo’s bespoke tour from Lisbon to Nazareth. See you then!
Such a beautiful bike ride. The help of riding an e-bike made this very comfortable and not difficult at all. Rodrigo is an amazing guide and he will take you to some wonderful viewpoints along the way. I just wish I had more time to spend in Cascais after getting a glimpse of it during the tour. I definitely recommend this tour. It’s amazing!
Rodrigo did a great job to enure that my husband and I and our 7 month old son had a fantastic day! The weather wasn’t great, but we had so much fun and the kindness that Rodrigo showed to our baby was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you have a baby- it’s safe and a really awesome adventure!
If you’re in Portugal and looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend the e-bike tour from Cascais to Sintra. This tour, expertly guided by the incredible Rodrigo, is a perfect blend of scenic beauty, local culture, and thrilling exploration. Rodrigo, our guide, was exceptional. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the area made the tour engaging and informative. He shared captivating stories and historical insights at every stop, making us appreciate the rich heritage and natural beauty of this region even more. The tour began in the charming coastal town of Cascais. Riding along the stunning coastline on our comfortable and well-maintained e-bikes, we made our way to an abandoned monastery. The monastery, perched on a hill with an unmatched view of the surrounding landscape, was a highlight of the trip. Rodrigo’s storytelling brought the history of this serene and somewhat mysterious location to life. We also visited Quinta do Pisão, a beautiful and tranquil farm where we had the chance to see various animals and sample local delicacies. Rodrigo introduced us to bee pollen and queijadas, a traditional Portuguese pastry, giving us a taste of the local flavors. The visit was both educational and delightful, adding a unique touch to our adventure. Our next stop was for a lovely beachside lunch at Bar do Guincho. The setting was perfect, with the sound of waves and the fresh sea breeze enhancing our delicious meal. The local cuisine was delectable, and it was a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy the company of fellow riders. The e-bikes made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable, effortlessly handling the varied terrain and allowing us to focus on the stunning scenery and rich cultural experiences. This e-bike tour from Cascais to Sintra is a must-do for anyone looking to explore this beautiful part of Portugal in a fun and engaging way. Highly recommended!
Beautiful scenery. Lots of fun. Rodrigo was great experienced guide. I highly recommend Rodrigo and this adeventure.
Rodrigo was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the bike trail and general area. Great lunch spot and beautiful views. The area is hilly but the e-bikes were the way to do the experience and still get some exercise. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved this gorgeous ride with Rodrigo! He’s so knowledgeable, welcoming, and supportive. Our 9-year-old had some moments when she was challenged on the ride and his coaching & support for her was pitch-perfect, building her confidence as he helped her through the tougher spots. And the scenery! From the ornate castles of Sintra, over the mountain covered in pine woods, through gorgeous fields of flowers - it was just delightful at every turn. We can’t wait to go back & recommend this trip very highly!
The bike ride itself was fantastic. The scenery was beautiful and we love to bike in any place we go. The only downside of it was the transportation back. We felt like we were dropped off and told what to do to get back. That was somewhat disappointing.
Rodrigo was a great guide and this tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Truly memorable and would highly recommend!
Easy ride (don't think it can be difficult in any way), very enjoyable scenery, different way to discover the area of Cascais. All that with a great guide and with a great meal next to the beach. We recommend strongly.
Our tour guide, Rodrigo was great! He picked us up from our hotel. We tour the coastline along the countryside then up to mountain. This was my highlight of my trip and worth doing. Great for family or couples.
This was definitely one of the top highlights of our 10 day family trip to Portugal. Rodrigo was an amazing tour guide, the scenery from Sintra to Cascais was unbelievable and the bikes were a blast. It was so wonderful to be in nature and experience the unique landscape offered by the trails. We ended the trip entering Cascais as the sunset and enjoyed the amazing Christmas lights. We were a family of 5 with a range of bike experience and the E Bikes made this trek a no brainer. We highly recommend this unique experience. Thanks Rodrigo!
This was the best way to escape the city for a day!! We biked through so many landscapes: rolling hills, farms, forests, and coastline. The tour was thoughtful and well-planned--we'd go again!
Rodrigo was excellent. Good communication and everything went smoothly. The bike tour was great and the bikes were good quality and comfortable. We had a great time.
What a great bike ride through the forest up to an incredible view over the coast and a exhilerating downhill ride to a wonderful beach. Rodrigo is an outstanding guide. Don't miss this adventure
Rodrigo was absolutely amazing. Booked the bike tour for me and my girlfriend, we had the best time. Very lovely guy, made our trip so special. Would highly recommend!
It was such an amazing experience! Although, the weather was a bit unstable, the bit of rain we encountered on the way, did not spoil the beautiful ride and stunning views. Rodrigo is an incredible guide, always attentive and supportive to ensure we were comfortable and safe.This experience is totally a must do!
This was a highlight of our trip to Portugal! Such a nice way to experience the countryside, and our friendly guide on our private tour was like going with a pal.
Rodrigo is a relaxed, interesting and capable guy. He made the full day fun as we explored a beautiful area on w-bikes. We covered about 25 miles but with breaks and at a pace we all found comfortable.
We had a wonderful e bike ride through Cascais and the Sintra mountains. We rode for approximately 26 miles. The countryside was beautiful. Our bike ride finished at the coast where we got to see the Atlantic Ocean. We also had a traditional Portuguese lunch at a local restaurant. Rodrigo was our guide. He was very attentive to our safety and comfort on our bike ride.
I had the privilege of joining this incredible bike tour in Cascais and Sintra that left me thoroughly impressed. The tour featured a perfect blend of gravel roads and smooth asphalt, showcasing the region's diverse landscapes. The attention to detail, well-maintained e-bikes, and carefully chosen stops for breathtaking views demonstrated the organizers' dedication. Rodrigo's insights and nice conversation added a special touch, making the journey even more engaging. It truly made my Portugal trip unforgettable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an exceptional exploration of the area. I took my 3 and 5-year-old sons in a bike trailer and they loved it as well. It was an enchanting family adventure.
Rodrigo, Thank you for a memorable experience. Fantastic day. Easily doable 25 mile eBike ride. You are the best tour guide.
Rodrigo did a fantastic job guiding us through a beautiful route in Cascais. We would have never been able to navigate what we did ourselves and he made pickup and transport easy. It was great talking and enjoying the beautiful views - thanks for the experience Rodrigo!
Thanks Rodrigo! You and the trails were so fun. I think you have taken your time in finding beautiful places to bike and great equipment to use. It was an experience of a lifetime! Loren & Kari
