Fantastic day riding along the beautiful coast of Lisbon. - Had a wonderful day cruising along the coast of Lisbon. Got to see many historical sites including a very secluded royal palace garden. Stopped for an amazing Portuguese lunch with delicious wine. The best part of the tour is getting to spend the day with the very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides Nibs and Jackie. Would highly recommended this tour while visiting Lisbon.

- Nibs and Jackie were absolutely wonderful! We were stressed as we were running a few minutes late due to traffic, but were met with big, warm, welcoming smiles!
They stopped us at all of the “must see” monuments, parks, etc. and were well informed on the history of each. We had a delicious traditional Portuguese lunch in a quaint park off the coast. After lunch, Nibs surprised my sister-in-law with a delicious chocolate cake from a local spot to celebrate her birthday! It was just the sweetest gesture and was so thoughtful!
We ended the day in peaceful historic park with vibrant flowers.
It was a beautiful day and Nibs and Jackie’s hospitality made this a top tier excursion! The customized video of all our spots was an added bonus!
A must-do if visiting Lisbon!
Thank y’all again for such a fantastic day! We will be sporting our new gear all the way in North Carolina!

Go for it - it's great fun! - We had a great day with Nibs, leasurely cycling along the beautiful coastline of the Tagus River, enjoying the touristic landmarks on the way and Nibs splendid historical knowledge about them! Although we had travelled this coastline before, riding on a bicycle offers you quite a new perspective. And everybody who knows how to ride a bicycle is able to enjoy this trip! It is very easy-going on mostly flat-out cycling paths, the bicycles are comfy and Nibs is the best and most warm-hearted guide you can wish for. Generally we don’t enjoy eating big lunches, so Nibs took us to his favorite café/pastelaria in Paco de Arcos instead, where we enjoyed freshly squeezed orange juice, galao, pastel de nata and a giant sandwich (so much for “we don’t enjoy big lunches”;-)). If you are interested in music you are in for a special treat chatting with Nibs about…well, all types of music! Conclusion: go for it – it’s great fun!

Epic Bike Trip with Nibs: Fun, Facts, and Tasty Stop! - I had an incredible cycle tour with Nibs, the most fun and knowledgeable guide I’ve ever met. We explored stunning historical landmarks and gardens, learning fascinating details along the way. The bikes were super comfortable, the ride was exhilarating, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a hidden local gem. It was the perfect way to spend the day.

Fun way to sight see - A fantastic day out. Easy riding and a most enjoyable way to take in key sites along the Tagus. Very well led by the knowledgable Nibs. An excellent lunch in a typical Portuguese local restaurant included.

Fantastic Tagus River cycle tour! - A few weeks ago, we did a 4 hour Tagus Coastal tour from Lisbon with Nibs and Jackie (fellow South Africans), and it was a fantastic experience! We started in Belém and cycled along the riverside to Caxias, stopping to look at various landmarks along the way. Our bikes were comfortable and well-maintained, making it easy to enjoy the ride. The meeting spot was conveniently located just outside the busyness of Lisbon.
Nibs shared interesting insights about Lisbon’s past, making the tour not only enjoyable but also informative. We loved the off-the-beaten-track itinerary, which included visits to hidden gems like a stunning garden inspired by Versailles.
The tour ended with a delicious meal of grilled chicken at a lovely family-run restaurant, which was the perfect end to the day. Nibs and Jackie were attentive throughout the tour, always checking to ensure we were managing well. Their warm, relaxed, and authentic approach created a personal atmosphere, and with a small, intimate group, we felt a genuine connection. The incredible weather added to the overall enjoyment of the experience. We are planning to do the 3 day Alentejo tour with them in 2025, can’t wait!
