This private tour from On the Road Tour offers just that—up to 8 hours of personalized sightseeing in a luxurious, eco-friendly Tesla Model Y.

Why Opt for a Private, Customizable Tour?
One of the greatest advantages of this experience is flexibility. Unlike standard tours, which often lock you into a fixed itinerary, this setup allows you to spend more time at the sights that truly interest you. Want a quick photo stop at the Miradouro de Santa Catarina or a leisurely lunch in a local neighborhood? Just ask, and your driver will accommodate.
The 8-hour duration gives enough time to explore multiple neighborhoods and attractions without feeling rushed. Plus, frequent breaks for photos and in-depth visits mean you can really savor Lisbon’s charm. This personalized approach also avoids the frustration of walking blindly or waiting for others’ pace, which is common in group tours.
Comfort and Convenience in a Tesla
Traveling in a Tesla Model Y isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a practical choice that adds to your overall experience. The air conditioning keeps you cool during the warm Portuguese days, while the Wi-Fi allows you to share your photos or look up interesting facts during the ride. The bottled water and cellphone charger are thoughtful touches that help keep you refreshed and connected.
The hotel pick-up and drop-off remove the stress of finding meeting points or navigating public transport, especially if you’re unfamiliar with Lisbon’s streets. Whether you’re staying in a central hotel or a boutique guesthouse, your driver will be waiting for you at your doorstep.
How the Day Unfolds
Once onboard, the driver will ask about your interests—history, architecture, food, or hidden corners—and tailor the route accordingly. If you’re unsure, they can suggest popular highlights such as the Lisbon Cathedral, Castelo de S. Jorge, or the LX Factory.
Stops are completely at your discretion, whether to take photos, explore a neighborhood, or simply relax with a coffee. If you prefer a deeper visit at a particular site, just let your driver know. For example, one reviewer praised the flexibility, noting that the guide “made every effort to keep things flexible so we could change things as we wanted.”
