What a great way to explore Lisbon! From the narrow streets to the soaring heights of the Cristo Rei overlook, our motorcycle/sidecar adventure was thrilling. Steph and his team are personable, knowledgeable and fun! Highly recommend!

Itinerary
Located along the Tagus River, Praça do Comércio is one of Lisbon’s most iconic squares. Once home to the royal palace before the 1755 earthquake, it stands out for its grand scale, symmetrical yellow buildings, and elegant arcades. Opening onto the river, it offers a stunning panorama and serves as a spectacular gateway to the city, especially through the famous Rua Augusta Arch.
Located in the heart of Lisbon, the Carmo Archaeological Museum is set within the striking Gothic ruins of the former Carmo Church, partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. Open to the sky, this unique site blends dramatic architecture with history, housing a diverse archaeological collection ranging from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. A fascinating place that reflects both Lisbon’s past and its resilience.
Set atop one of Lisbon’s highest hills, the Miradouro da Graça offers one of the city’s most stunning panoramic views. From here, you can admire the colorful rooftops, São Jorge Castle, and the Tagus River in the distance. Known for its relaxed and authentic atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to take in Lisbon—especially at sunset.
Tucked between Avenida da Liberdade and the Príncipe Real district, Praça da Alegria is a charming square with a calm and elegant atmosphere. Surrounded by traditional buildings, it features a leafy garden, fountains, and a relaxed local vibe away from the crowds. It’s the perfect spot to take a break and experience a more authentic side of Lisbon.
A true landmark avenue in Lisbon, Avenida da Liberdade connects the historic center to the modern city. Inspired by Parisian boulevards, it features wide tree-lined promenades, fountains, and elegant architecture. Known for its luxury boutiques, upscale hotels, and theaters, it represents the chic and cosmopolitan side of the Portuguese capital.
Located in the heart of Lisbon, Praça Dom Pedro IV—better known as Rossio—is one of the city’s most lively and iconic squares. It stands out for its distinctive wave-patterned pavement, elegant fountains, and central statue of King Dom Pedro IV. Surrounded by historic buildings, cafés, and theaters, it has long been a vibrant meeting point for both locals and visitors.
Located in the Baixa district, Rua da Prata is one of Lisbon’s main shopping streets. Lined with elegant buildings rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, it perfectly reflects Pombaline urban planning with its balanced design and classical architecture. Lively and central, it connects Praça do Comércio to Rossio, offering a vibrant glimpse into the heart of the city.
Santa Maria Maior Cathedral, commonly known as the Lisbon Cathedral or Sé, is one of the city’s oldest and most iconic landmarks. Built in the 12th century, it blends Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles, reflecting Lisbon’s rich and turbulent history. With its massive towers and fortress-like appearance, it overlooks the Alfama district and offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s medieval past.
Located in the historic Graça district, Largo da Graça is a charming square with an authentic and relaxed atmosphere. Lined with cafés and traditional buildings, it’s a popular meeting spot for locals. Just steps away from the famous viewpoint, it provides easy access to one of Lisbon’s most beautiful panoramas, overlooking colorful rooftops, São Jorge Castle, and the Tagus River.
Located in the Alfama district, the Church of São Vicente de Fora is one of Lisbon’s finest examples of Mannerist architecture. Built in the 17th century, it stands out for its elegant, restrained façade and its cloisters decorated with azulejos depicting scenes of Portuguese life. The site also houses the pantheon of the Braganza dynasty and offers stunning views over the city and the Tagus River from its terraces.
Overlooking the Alfama district, the National Pantheon is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks, easily recognized by its impressive white dome. Housed in the former Church of Santa Engrácia, it honors Portugal’s most important historical figures. Inside, marble and symmetry create a solemn atmosphere, while the rooftop terrace offers outstanding panoramic views over the city and the Tagus River.
Located in the Alfama district, Santa Clara Market is a lively and authentic spot, best known for hosting the famous Feira da Ladra, Lisbon’s oldest flea market. With its mix of antiques, unique finds, and local goods, it offers a vibrant and distinctly Lisbon atmosphere. Set near iconic landmarks such as the National Pantheon, it’s a great place to experience local life.

Guide was Stefan, lovely guy, chatted just the right amount and knew alot about the area. Great way to see some fantastic views.
Stefani took us through a fun hour sidecar ride through Chiado and Alfama. Spent time Exploring breathtaking view points.
What an excellent experience, my wife and I throughly enjoyed the tour. Stéphane the driver is really friendly, a very carful driver and a knowledgeable guide. We got to see loads. Well worth the money. Great fun!
I surprised my family with this magical tour and they all LOVED it! Was a super introduction to the city and a lot of fun! Our guides were knowledgeable about history, took us to a bunch of sites and it was great being in the fresh air. Lisbon is the city of seven hills so this was much better than your typical walking tour. Steph was a great guide!

Prifessional information about tge city. If you are there, this is a must do it! If there again, will do it again! Susan and Laszlo
The tour in side car around Lisbon, with the guide, was a fantastic experience! The 1-hour duration of the tour is perfect to appreciate the ride with the vehicle, the tour around some great points of interest in Lisbon, without having to block half a day for the experience. The guide (french-speaking for our experience), was really attentive to us, helping us to get in and out of the vehicle if needed, and did not hesitate to make the tour last a little bit longer than scheduled. During the break, he also offered us coffee cups and local sweets, which was very well appreciated. Thank you very much for the wonderful moment !
Our daughter had a fabulous time with her dad on the bike tour. It was fun, informative and great value. Stephane was really lovey to deal with and arranged a tuk tuk tour for the rest of our group and we travelled together. Definitely a highlight of the trip.
Absolutely amazing ride in Lisbon on a retro 3 wheeler!!! 🏍✨✨✨ Stephane was great and made our ride smooth and pleasant..

The motorcycle tour around Lisbon was an absolute thrill! He expertly navigated us through charming streets in Lisbon. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Lisbon in a fun and affordable way!
Rétro Tour Lisboa is a great way to visit the city! We were tired of walking around and felt like we had done all the site seeing but Stephane was so nice and he took us to very interesting places around the city. We loved it, it was such a treat! We truly recommend to use them!
It was really Great! It was such an amazing experience to visit Lisboa like this, I would really recomend it to anyone visiting Lisboa
Perfect way to see the city,I always wanted to try on of those bikes,we had a blast and the guide was awesome.
We had an amazing tour with retro tours, you get to see Lisbon from a whole different and special view, it’s super fun and felt adventurous due to the adrenaline kick on the motorbike. Also the guys from retro tours are very gentle, easygoing and funny.. it felt like spending the afternoon with friends. 10/10 would recommend!
The best way to discover lisbon with local funny and knowledgable drivers ! You will enjoy small street and made awesome photo stop ;)
We loved our sidecar experience in Lisbon! It is really a unique and original way to visit the city, away from the classic tourist circuits. Settled comfortably together, with one of us in the sidecar and the other behind the driver, we were able to fully enjoy the scenery, picturesque alleys, hills and magnificent views. Our guide was passionate, warm and full of interesting anecdotes about the history and culture of Lisbon. The pace was perfect: neither too fast nor too slow, with several stops to take pictures and admire the monuments. Value for money, it’s largely justified: it’s a personalised, intimate and much more immersive experience than a bus or tuk-tuk tour. As a couple, it is even more pleasant and romantic! We highly recommend to all those who want to live Lisbon differently and leave with full memories!
Great experience. A very original way to discover Lisbon and its surroundings differently. Stephane and his team are real enthusiasts; perfect conditions of safety and comfort. We love it!
Lisbon is teeming with TukTuks, golf carts and other tourist vehicles. We suddenly saw the motorcycle with side car and that immediately appealed to us. We received a good explanation of the possibilities from a super enthusiastic motorcyclist, who later took us on a motorcycle and took us to the most beautiful places in Lisbon. We got a word of explanation here and there, we stopped for a photo and it was super cool! Highly recommended and .... this is nothing different than those ordinary tuktuks! #wearenottuktuk!!
A great experience, for adults and children alike. Super friendly pair. Thanks to them we discovered Lisbon through its main monuments, always with a little historical reference. A big thank you to them! To recommend without hesitation :)
Very nice experience! Stéphane was attentive and gave explanations during the tour, including advice for things to visit.
