Cover Lisbon’s essential sights in a small group of up to eight, walking from Rossio through Alfama, cycling the flat Tagus route to Belém, tasting the original pastel de Belém, and returning by boat. The yellow tram section is temporarily unavailable.

“The tour was excellent, we had an amazing time! Our guide, Joao, was very friendly and laidback but extremely knowledgeable - so much so that we decided to book another tour with him to Porto for the next day. The lenght of the tour is just right and you get a little bit of everything - walking around the city centre, cycling along the river bench as well as enjoying the waves on the boat ride. An ideal tour to get an idea about the city and it's vibe, highly recommend it!”
