“Mr Fantastic was absolutely Fantastic. A great day with really useful information and smiles for the whole trip.”
Meet Alex, George, Rubin, or another English-speaking host at Rossio Square, collect your Tram 28 ticket and 24-hour transit pass, then explore Lisbon independently. Ride through Graça, Alfama, and Baixa with a smartphone audio guide, using Tram 12 as a useful way to avoid Tram 28 queues.
“Alex our guide was very informative and helpful especially with the tram advice. Lisbon is lovely vibrant city would recommend this trip.”

“Hi! Thanks for your review. We're so glad to hear you had a great experience! We hope to see you again soon. 😄💫 Best, Sheneth”
Take the wheel of a compact Spinach electric car and follow narrated routes through Lisbon. Choose a guided outing with hosts such as Jeff or Gui, or explore Alfama, Chiado, modern Lisbon, and Belém on your own. The car gives directions, tells jokes, teaches Portuguese, and lets you stop when you please.
“We had such a fun and unique time touring around Lisbon in a self-driving electric car from Spinach! It was the perfect way to explore the city — easy, eco-friendly, and full of laughs. A big shoutout to Bea and Pedro, who welcomed us at the start and made everything super smooth. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to show us how everything worked before we set off. The controls were surprisingly simple to use, and they made sure we felt confident before hitting the road. Driving through Lisbon’s beautiful streets, stopping wherever we liked, and hearing all the audio guide stories along the way made it such…”
Take the wheel of a two-person Spinach electric car near Praça do Comércio. After a safety briefing, follow app-guided routes through Alfama, Belém, Chiado, Bairro Alto, and other Lisbon highlights, with audio narration, a lockable trunk, and staff support.
“A really fun and exciting way to experience the city. Cars are small so don’t try this if you are taller than 6ft and larger than 100kg’s 🙈. Also, the roads are bumpy with little car suspension so be ready!”
Visit Lisbon’s National Tile Museum at your own pace with an e-ticket and English audio guide on your phone. See Mudéjar patterns, the Mickey Mouse panel, the Dona Leonor Chapel, and centuries of Portuguese tile-making. Bring a charged Android or iPhone and headphones.
“The audio was a little bit hard to follow. It didn't really go in the order of the walk thru. We had to keep skating to the section we were in.”
Meet your host at Rossio Square, collect your official tickets, and take the train to Sintra. Use the hop-on hop-off buses to reach palaces and gardens, then return to Lisbon by train. An English audio guide adds background, though you must buy monument admission separately.
“Our guide was super helpful in explaining how everything worked and getting us started sending us to the train station. He gave clear instructions with maps and pictures and was just lovely in general. Definitely made the day a lot smoother”
Visit Lisbon’s National Palace of Ajuda with a mobile entry ticket, then use the Clio Muse Tours app for a separate self-guided Lisbon walk from the National Pantheon to Casa Fernando Pessoa. The palace has no audio guide included.
“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! these guys run a scam. I paid for two audio tours in Lisbon and they did not include the audio with the ticket for either tour!!! They fool you by saying you get a complimentary audio tour, but it’s not for your tour, it’s a city tour. Ridiculous! You can buy a ticket for much less when you get there directly. Don’t waste your money. They ruined this experience for us and wouldn’t give us our money back.”
You’ll collect a Giant e-bike near Lisbon’s Corpo Santo, take trains to Sintra and back from Cascais, then follow GPS routes through the forest, past Cabo da Roca, and along Guincho Beach. Choose your pace and palace stops, but expect road riding and bring confidence on a bike.
“A cool way to see the sites! Get a little exercise while you it! Nice people to deal with, very accommodating even when we arrived late.”
Use the Explorial app to guide your group from Restauradores through Rossio, Carmo, Santa Justa, Rua Augusta, and Praça do Comércio. Solve clues, answer questions, and complete photo tasks at your own pace. The tour takes about two hours, costs $9.24 per person, and is offered in English.
“What a great tour it was! We had so much fun completing the challenges and posing for the photo tasks! The tour is great! We got to see all of the most famous landmarks on a budget!”
