Highlight of Portugal trip
Absolutely the highlight of our trip so far. Celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic tour of the city with Luis. Luis was amazing and very knowledgeable of the city and its history and it was just really fun touring the streets in a sidecar! Glad we started our visit to Lisbon doing this because afterwards we had an idea of where we wanted to explore more. The ride was a good mix of driving through the different areas and stopping at some of the sites. Great first day!! We took many pictures and many pictures were taken of us as we “zoomed” past.

Wonderful Family Motorbike Tour
We loved our experience with Daniel and Claudio. We had so much fun seeing the entire city with them. They brought us to all the major sites and showed us some of their favorite eats and markets. The tour was filled with history and stories. Our twin girls had so much fun and everyone in town was smiling and waving at us in our motorbikes!

Best experience in Lisbon!
This was by far my favorite experience of my Lisbon trip! I felt like I got to see all the highlights of the entire city in just 3 hours. My driver Claudio was absolutely amazing! So kind and he made the tour so much fun. He also took amazing photos of me the entire time which I really appreciated since I’m traveling solo. Do not hesitate to book this tour and definitely ask for Claudio!

Fantastic Tour
I wanted to surprise my husband for his birthday with this tour. Not only was he surprised but had so much fun! Our tour guide, David, was excellent, knowledgeable and punctual. I highly recommend this tour! Everyone was waving and smiling as we rode by! Folks were taking photos and inquiring how they could do the tour. I am so glad we did this tour! It was worth every dime! 😊

Great way to see Lisbon by Motorcycle side car tour with wife
Jorge was fantastic! We had a blast cruising around town on the side car motorcycle. It was for sure one of the highlights of our trip. Having perfect weather and opportunity to see many sights on the tour. Thanks for the good tips and conversations on the area. My wife who tends to be on the nervous side said it was the highlight of our trip! Really enjoyed our time Thanks Jorge!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar cost?
+
Prices start at €300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 383 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar?
+
Around 134 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
