Portugal Day Tours

Land of Fado

Let the soulful sounds of Portugal’s Fado music, combined with the fresh flavors of its gourmet gastronomy and its colorful cultural heritage, captivate you on a bike tour of this idyllic Iberian destination. From the tiled buildings of its capital, Lisbon, to the winding streets of picturesque Porto and the scintillating spires of Sintra’s castles, Portugal has all the makings of a perfect bike tour destination.

Lisbon is Europe’s second-oldest capital city, beaten only by ancient Athens, ensuring centuries of culture and sightseeing opportunities for travelers. The city is notoriously hilly, so taking an e-bike tour is the best way to see the sights while conserving your energy for evening indulgences. Cycle through the charming Alfama district, the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon, and get lost in its narrow alleys filled with Fado music and authentic local eateries. Explore the iconic Lisbon Cathedral and get your guide’s recommendations for the best spots for pasteis de nata or Bacalhau à Brás.
