“My family of four did this bike tour and my youngest daughters front bike break popped off and failed for her, and it caused her to lose control and fall. I thank heavens that she didn't fall amongst the many cars that are very close to the bike paths. Our guide Silvia was extremely helpful though and helped clean her up, make sure she was okay, and traded her bike so my daughter can use while Silvia took the faulty one. Other than that, Silvia took us on many sites to see and we lucked out on perfect biking weather. This tour is good to burn off some calories and…”

“Fantastic tour! Angela was absolutely amazing and had so much knowledge of Belem. She also knew all the best spots for photos and took some lovely pictures of us. We had a small group of 6 people which meant we didnt get "lost in the crowd" and could ask lots of questions. The pace was great, we didnt feel rushed at all and spent a good amount of time in each location. We did a few tours in Lisbon during our trip but this one was definitely the best.”

“We waited for a bus for over an hour at the cruise terminal, right under the yellow flag bearing their name and a picture of the bus, which most people would interpret as the correct spot to wait. I was monitoring bus activity on the app, which kept changing the arrival time (first 10 minutes, then 20 minutes, etc.). Finally after more than an hour, a bus stops across the street from the terminal. We were unable to make that one given the distance we had to walk. Waited again for another bus but finally gave up and grabbed a TukTuk since our time was running out at the port.”
