We loved seeing Alfama on Segway’s. The food tour part was a bit light, but it was a great way to see the old town especially when we were jet lagged. Joao was a great tour guide!

We have done Segway tours all over the world and this was one of the best. Seeing Alfama by Segway was the best way to see the old town. The food was great and Eduardo was the best tour guide.

It was just my husband and I with a wonderful young guide named Juan (John)? He was very patient and a good teacher as we are 84 and 79 . He took extra care with us and at each stop, explained Portugal’s history. At one point we left the segways at a food stop and he walked us through the old Alfama neighborhoods. I highly recommend Boost for their exceptional care. Including the office guys as well as our 🥇 guide

Check the weather forecast as they don’t cancel even in downpours. Was only able to do about 20 minutes before the heavy rain made it impossible to continue. We stopped for coffee hoping it would let up but it was hopeless. The guide was great and was willing to continue but even with raingear the wind and water hitting my face made it unbearable.

Peter was a wonderful guide! He was very knowledgeable on Portugal history and took us to some wonderful sites to take pictures and taste some delicious Portugal cuisine. He took care of us as we traveled up and down some steep terrain at times. He was the bomb!! Would highly recommend this tour!

We loved our tour with Peter! He was a wealth of knowledge and related all the points of interests with history. Highly recommend!
Gerald_B, Aug 2024
My wife and I both had a great time in this tour! Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable and obviously enjoys his work and showing us the beauty of Lisbon. I highly recommend this Segway tour and our guide Peter, who found us the best pateis de nata we had in Portugal, even in Belem!

Price_B, Aug 2024
We thought the tour was fantastic. Peter was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it. The streets in Lisbon are very hilly and a Segway makes it much easier.
Jaime_M, May 2024
I would not consider this a food tour. While we did stop for a couple items of food, I would consider this a sightseeing tour with some food a long the way. It was an ok time, but I've had better segway tours than this one. It seemed a little disorganized.
Melinda_S, May 2024
Simone was great. He knew a lot about the history of Lisbon. This was my first time on a Segway and was a little nervous, but he was very patient and helped me through the narrower/more crowded areas. It was a fun way to easily see different parts of the city!
Alex_H, Mar 2024
Fantastic and fun tour with the excellent Tony. A great way to see part of the city without having to climb up the hills. Love the segways! Food delicious also.
Qiong_L, Dec 2023
Our guide Peter is so knowledgable, and it’s really nice for the first-time visit to the country to learn a great deal of the history. The trip itself is so fun, especially on all the hills. We love it!
Tricia_O, Nov 2023
Simon was lovely, fun, informative. It was so fun on the Segway, saw much of Alabama without struggling with the hills. Great time.
Denise_P, Oct 2023
Romain was a fabulous tour guide! We really enjoyed our time with him. He was very knowledgeable and so easy to talk to. We HIGHLY recommend him for any tours you do! He was so accommodating for us as my husband couldn’t ride the Segway so we did a marvelous walking tour! We can’t say enough about Romain❤️❤️❤️
Janice_B, Sep 2023
We were met in an easily identifiable location by our lovely hostess. We had an informative walking tour stopping off at 2 places for tapas and wine, delicious. The second stop the restaurant owner wasn't what you'd call welcoming but entertaining because of this. Our last stop was main meal listening to Fado sung by 3 different performers. Highly recommend.
Craig_H, May 2023
Best tour ever! The guide was a legend! Very knowledgeable. Great food. Highly recommended and lots of fun.
Rita_Y, Mar 2023
It was good experience with kind and friendly guide Andrew🙂. He knowledge about the city and he gave us some recommendations.
Glenn_W, Feb 2023
Our tour guide Tony was great. We had a fabulous Segway tour and would definitely recommend it as it was a great way to see the city and learn about its history.

laurie_s, Dec 2022
Peter was the most knowledgable, unique, engaging guide. We learned SO much and had a great time. We had 2 new guides with us training. They were all wonderful. I highly recommend this tour. If you can request Peter you wont be disappointed. We LOVED Portugal!
Kimryn_R, Oct 2022
This was a fun and memorable way to interact with a new city. The tiny streets were perfect for segway, and although it was our first time we managed well, even on steep cobblestone streets! The guide was terrific and gave us an inspiring overview of the history of Lisbon and Portugal. Great food and ended with a tapas and wine/beer in downtown. Excellent!
SIMON_L, Jun 2022
Great way to see the marvellous city of Lisboa. Tony was our perfect guide - funny, informative and attentive to all our group. My family and I had a fantastic time and would fully recommend to others. Segways are easy to get along with, especially with Tony's expertise and support. Lovely Tapas and drinks to finish off the tour with a special mention to the lovely Australian couple who were great company.

Margarita was a sweet and fun guide. She easily made us comfortable and this was our first Segway tour. The snacks were delicious and the guide kept and easy relaxing pace which was perfect for our small group. Highly recommend.
Matthew_H, May 2022
Fantastic! Peter is a true gem, and we feel so fortunate to have had him as our guide. Great teacher for Segue riding, very patient with our questions, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept things moving along at a good pace. He has a wonderful way of explaining events, people, and circumstances with relevant analogies and examples. We walked away with an education we didn't quite expect, and a thirst to know more about this city's storied history. The two tastings throughout the tour and cheese sampling at the end were frosting on an already wonderful cake. We would go again, and highly recommend this tour.
Deborah_D, Apr 2022
What a great way of seeing bits of Lisbon we would never otherwise have found. This is a fantastic tour with a friendly guide who put us at ease in those first few nervous minutes. Once we had "found our feet" we were off and away and got to see so much of the city that we could never have seen on foot or by alternative means of transport. The food stop in the middle was excellent. I cant recommend this enough. Do it, even if youre a bit nervous, once you get going its brilliant!
choewt, Mar 2022
Ines was really a great guide -- very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and so patient with our Segway noob family! The food items were delightful as well. A really great way to see the city at street-level, and much more intimate than those tuktuk tours.
stephen_M, Mar 2022
Great way to explore Lisbon our guide Peter was fun and entertaining throughout the tour plus his historical knowledge was amazing!!
Zorayda_H, Oct 2021
Everything: the segway, the places, the guide Luis, the food
