Booking through this site was a breeze. We chose the e-bike tour and loved riding along the river. The guide was fantastic, and the pastry at the end was divine!
We wanted a private tour without the hassle of walking too much. The eco tuk-tuk was perfect. The booking platform made it easy to compare and find the best price.
The walking tour itself was incredibly informative, especially the history of the Age of Discoveries. Just be prepared for crowds at the monastery!
The Secret Food Tour in Belém was phenomenal. We tried so much more than just the famous custard tarts. Highly recommend booking this specific tour!
Loved how easy it was to find a top-rated tour. The instant confirmation gave us peace of mind. Belém Tower is absolutely stunning at sunset.
The e-bike tour was perfect. We stopped at all the major monuments and the guide knew exactly where to get the best photos without the crowds.
Very good booking experience. The history of the Age of Discoveries was explained brilliantly by our guide. It was quite hot though, so bring water!

No, both the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery are closed on Mondays, as well as on certain public holidays like January 1st, Easter Sunday, May 1st, and December 25th.
While 'Pastel de Nata' is the general term for Portuguese custard tarts sold worldwide, the 'Pastel de Belém' is the original version, made since 1837 following a secret recipe exclusively at the Fábrica dos Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon.
This depends on the specific tour you choose. Most walking, biking, and tuk-tuk tours view the monuments from the outside to maximize time. Be sure to check the 'Inclusions' section of your chosen tour to see if interior access and tickets are provided.
Belém is located about 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) west of central Lisbon. Most tours include transportation, or you can easily reach it via the scenic E15 Tram or a short taxi/rideshare ride.
It depends on your preference! The riverside path from central Lisbon to Belém is completely flat, making bike tours extremely popular and scenic. Walking tours are better if you prefer a slower pace to absorb the deep history of the district.
