Tuk On Me

What Tuk On Me does

Tuk On Me is a Portuguese tourism operator founded in 2014 that sells private guided tours using a fleet of 30+ 100% electric tuk tuks across Lisbon, Sintra, and Cascais, with recent expansion to Madrid via the partner-operated Madrid Tuk Tours brand. The core product is a 6-passenger electric tuk tuk driven by a local multilingual guide, with tour durations ranging from one to four hours and per-tour pricing from €15 to €360 depending on route and group composition. The company supplements its core offering with three sub-brands: LEAV Tourism, which markets 6-passenger electric van full-day tours to regional destinations beyond tuk-tuk range (Sintra, Cascais, Fátima, Óbidos, Nazaré, Évora, Tomar, Setúbal, Arrábida); eCity Challenge, an interactive mobile app for team building activities integrated with the physical tours; and Exper, an associated corporate solutions brand for team building, CSR activities, and walking tours.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with online booking through tukonme.pt, phone, and WhatsApp, while also distributing through third-party travel platforms TripAdvisor, Get Your Guide, and momondo to reach international tourists. Revenue is generated via per-participant or per-vehicle transaction fees on individual and corporate tours. The company holds the RNAAT 485/2014 tourism operating license from Turismo de Portugal and the Clean & Safe health certification, and has accumulated over 300,000 lifetime customers since inception, with 900+ five-star Google reviews and TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2024 recognition. Operations are supported by offices in Lisbon (headquarters) and Sintra (250+ sqm store and garage opened August 2025), with a reported headcount of 1-10 employees, suggesting significant reliance on freelance guides and contracted labor.

Emerging players

• Withlocals: Online marketplace connecting travelers with local guides for private tours and food experiences. Overlaps with Tuk On Me's private guided-tour positioning but operates via a broader marketplace model.
• Sidecar Tours Lisbon: Operator offering sidecar and tuk tuk-based guided tours of Lisbon and surrounding regions with a similar experiential, guide-led format. Comparable customer base and use cases, slightly differentiated vehicle.

Broad incumbents

• GetYourGuide: Global OTA for tours, activities, and sightseeing experiences. Distributes Tuk On Me's tours (Top Rated badge holder) and competes broadly for tourist bookings across Portugal and other destinations.
• Viator (Tripadvisor Experiences): Global tours and activities marketplace owned by Tripadvisor. Functions as both a distribution channel for Tuk On Me and a broad incumbent competitor for bookable tourism experiences worldwide.
