Plus, see more of hilly Lisbon’s old town—including Alfama, the Lisbon Cathedral, and Sao Jorge Castle—than you could on foot.

- Relax5488550 contributionsGreat tour with RicardoThis was a lovely trip. Ricardo our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. We quickly got the hang of the Segways under his guidance. The route was good too. Got to see a lot of the Old Town and understand more of the history of Lisbon. Would highly recommendWritten 8 July 2023
- Deejayn19830 contributionsSuper nice serviceWe wanted to go on that Tour but stayed only one night in Lisbon and accidentally picked the wrong date. When we noticed our mistake it was to late to cancel and get a refund. Sitgo was really nice and helped to get our money back even though he wouldn't have to. Very friendly contact, great service, we will definitely go on a Tour with them next time we are in Lisbon.Written 18 November 2022
- fixemflyem0 contributionsOld Town Segway Tour by SitgoReally enjoyed this tour. Sitgo is an excellent and witty guide, very knowledgable and easy going. The weather on our day was a bit changeable but Sitgo was accomodating and adaptable making it as easy as possible for us. I would go on a tour with him on the Segways again.Written 24 October 2022
- thomaslA1825QA0 contributionsMonument paradise part of LisbonWe had a good time riding the Segways in Belém, which is kind of a monument disneyland, full of interesting architecture and nice river views. Guide was very friendly and gave a lot of interesting facts about the buildings and history. I recommend!Written 21 August 2022

- MADDreas640 contributionsSCAMSCAM! Don't do it! I booked for 7 people last weekend, but when arrived at the location there was nobody there. The telephone numbers provided don't work and I'm still waiting for a response to my chat messages I sent in the available chat function... Even when I asked around at the location (in front of the ice cream shop at Cais de Sodre), they never seen anything like a bike tour. Luckily I got my money back via Tripadvisor, but just don't waste your time, energy and money on this.Written 8 September 2021
- hrevie2560 contributionsCouldn't reccommend more highly!We split out sitgo tour and cruise across two days and couldnt have been happier with the experience. Our SitGo guides where extremely patient with the nervous ones within the group, and the tour itself was through old town, slightly tricky to navigate but really interesting and a lot of fun! Our boat tour was 1hr, plenty time to relax and enjoy but definitely wouldnt have said no to a slightly longer trip! The two hosts on board were incredibly attentive and the boat itself was really well maintained, All round excellent experience, and top value for money!Written 6 March 2020
- Chike O0 contributionsAmazing way to see the old townGreat way to see the old town! Our tour guide was really good and riding a Segway for the first time was a great experience! Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend!Written 4 March 2020
- Ciara C0 contributionsVery enjoyable experienceMyself and my boyfriend spent a great hour with hour guide going around some of the open areas as well as the back streets of Alfama. We got a quick lesson on how to use the segways and picked it up very quick. Don't be afraid, this was our first time to try them and we were whizzing around on them by the end! A unique experience with a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. Would highly recommend!Written 27 February 2020
- Clourenci0 contributionsGreat!!!Not sure how it can get any better. What a wonderful and informative morning spent with Sitgo on our first visit to Lisbon. There is no better way for a first time visitor to see Lisbon than to spend it on a Sitway under the guidance of Joana. By far the most informative and interesting tour we have experienced to date. The guide knowledge of the history of this great city was beyond belief. Having none experience riding Sitways She was so kind and patience to help us. I highly suggest and recomend you this experience, you will not only find an enjoyable and safe journey around Lisbon but you will receive one of the most inclusive history lessons from (who we refer to in our home as) the "Professor on Two Wheels". This is a must do experience for any Lisbon visitor. Thank you for the wonderful experience.Written 8 February 2020

My fiancée and I had a great time going around the old town of Lisbon with our tour guide. He was really fun and knew so much about the old town. The sitgo's are really fun and a nice break away from segways which we have enjoyed in the past. The only thing I would say is that we could have seen more of the old town, but I understand that we need to go along the flat for a bit first to learn how to control the sitway.

I go try Sitgo when in Lisbon with my wife. I do Old Town tour and we liked very much! Is so fun! Our guide was very informative, he tell us historical facts that we never know about and he show streets of Lisbon in a very fun way. We even stop to drink cherry liquor, where else?? It is very easy to learn drive Sitway, becomes almost an instinct after first couple minutes. Try this guys, you won't regret it. I know we did not and will come back soon with big group because very fun.

Fantastic concept, better than walking as you. An see places faster. The only issue is that in August Lisbon is crowded and not always easy to slalom around the walkers. Good fun with friends, just riding was exciting !
No pictures as riding this thing and taking pics is dangerous ;-) I was riding more than sightseeing...

Similiar to another user I turned up, no one showed tried both numbers (calling and texting) and stayed an hour at a nearby restaurant. Also tried the website. Now trying to get the booking company to refund.
Based on the other reviews I'm guessing they've gone bust but still showing as active. Wouldn't the best idea there be to shut down the business with a message and maybe reopen in the future.

Hi,
We're so sorry for what happened back then. Indeed, Sitgo wasn't operational at that time (since the pandemic) and the calendars were supposed to be closed. By now Sitgo is open again under new management/ownership and ready to hopefully take you on a tour in the future.
Kind regards,
Sitgo

Segway is much more comfortable and easier to maneuver. This tour started out late and it was done within one hour. We did get to drive up some twisty small roads which was cool but overall not a great view and not great descriptions from the guide. Our legs and thighs were sore after riding the sitgo. I would rather ride a normal bike probably cheaper also.

My family tried this for the first time when in Lisbon last week and we really enjoy it! It was great fun! We explore the streets of old town with our guides who were very friendly and very informative. It was an experience we never had before and I would recommend it especially if you have teenagers with you. They will really enjoy this alternative tour.

A great fun way to get around the old city. A slight pain in the pelvic region for some time after the ride, but it was totally worth it 🤣 Hope that it will be possible to buy a sitgo - it would be great fun to own one! 😎 -even more fun if it would run faster 🚀

On my recent visit to Lisbon with our football team (16 adults) i organised a Sitgo tour of the Old town Alfama district. 11 of us presented for this excursion on a lovely Sunday morning at the end of March. I had booked on line and the Sitgo guys were very accommodating as i couldn't give exact numbers. We were given a 10 minute training slot and by 1130 we were off accompanied by our guide Pepe and our camera man Goncalo. It was the best fun trip i had experienced for some time as we wondered off into the old town. Pepe was excellent with all his knowledge of Lisbon and we had time for a quick Chocolate and Liquor stop on our way. The fun was great and we even sang a few verses of song as we enjoyed our sitways. Basically just to explain a bit about the sitway these are a form of Sedgeways but here you are in a sitting position. They are easy to get used too and you'll be up and running in no time.The highest speed is around 16 klms per hour and the hills of the old town were negotiated easily as we made our way as far as the gates of St. George's Castle. Finally i dont think this would work without the excellent input of our Sitgo guides Pepe and Goncalo who kept the whole 90 minutes relaxed and enjoyable and for € 25 money well spent. Thank You guys

Hello Seanie_13,
We have no words to thank you for the amazing review!
I can tell that Peppe and Gonçalo had a great time as well, as they were talking about the tour you did for some days.
We hope to see you and the whole team back in Lisbon again someday with all this beautiful energy you have that was possible to see from the videos. This is exactly what we expect our clients to have...loads of fun!

My teenage daughter and I took the Old Town Tour. Although we had already walked around it, it was really informative and interesting to learn more about the history and buildings in the area.
The sitgos were so much fun. We were a little apprehensive at first but they were easy to get the hang of, although my bottom was a little sore af the end!
A really fun hour and a half. I would definitely recommend - the reactions of other tourists as we wheeled past also made us laugh!

Hello katerT7392MC,
I remember seeing your photos with your daughter after the tour. They were so nice!
We would like to thank you for your honest review and we are also happy you both had a great time, even for a second round at Alfama. It was delightful to know you were willing to learn more about our city.
We hope to see you back in Lisbon someday.

Is it possible with a 10 years old child? Thanks for your answer
Written 19 October 2019
Hi there! I don’t have the answer to that but would suspect that it’s not possible. Note that if you do the tour with this Segway you do end up on a few major roads. Dodging around the tourists is also tricky as they walk everywhere. If my so was 10 years old I’d wait till he gets older and wiser ...

Hello there!
Hope you are doing great :)
Regarding your inquiry about 10-year-old-kids, they can do the tour accompanied by their parents or an 18+ responsible. Plus we offer a free test to help all the clients to get used to the vehicles before the tour starts, so they feel comfortable and safe.
Please, let me know if you have any other inquires :)
