UK and Britain Bicycle Trips

Portugal has given us memories that will last a lifetime. Dejan did an amazing job guiding us and was also able to give all the cyclists many chances to ride at their preferred speed. Pedro, our driver and a person who wore many hats, was a gift for all of us. From preparing amazing lunches with local foods to making sure we were hydrating, Pedro was an asset in every way. This will not be the last trip we take with Explore.

Erwin was a well organised ,experienced and cheerful guide who instilled an enthusiasm for exploring the beautiful towns and countryside of Provence .He was knowledgeable and flexible and provided great bikes It was my first experience of a group cycle and I am looking forward to another .

We had a fabulous trip. It’s what we have come to expect with Explore to be honest but all the same it needs to be said. Tour leader Alex was brilliant all week as was Paulo the van driver and lunchtime caterer supreme! The trip was run at a really good pace that kept everyone together - no mean feat in a group of 16. In the interests of openness and for feedback I would suggest that the hotel in Porto was rather basic. We paid for an extra night here before the event and do not consider the rate we paid was value for money for such a basic hotel room. It was of a lesser standard than a UK travelodge. Other hotels along the route were all of a good quality with Monday and Thursday being especially so.

This was the first time I have been to Portugal and found this trip a great way to get a taste of the south of the country. Excellent tour leader and support driver. I

Great way to explore Puglia. It exceeded my expectations. Accommodation was great. Particularly Matera staying in the caves with amazing views over Sassi. Massimo was such a great guide. I'd rate the ride as moderate, as some of those hills were big and glad I converted to an e-bike on 2nd day.

Pablo the tour leader was friendly, helpful and informative also Luis the van bacK up driver was great and gave us super picnic lunches. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with good company.
