Did you know that Vilamoura is one of the largest tourist complexes in Europe? Tourists mainly come to Vilamoura to play golf, stay at the high-quality hotels, or visit the beaches and bars, but there is so much more to discover and enjoy! Join us on a bicycle tour of this fabulous place.
The tour starts heading in the direction of the foundation of Vilamoura, Museum Cerro da Vila. Vilamoura has ancient Roman origins from the 1st century AD. Muslims were also present in this area and they left their mark as well. This can be seen in the Cerro da Vila Museum. After that, we will cross the Marina of Vilamoura, one of the best Yacht Clubs in Europe.
Then, we will bike on the path of the dunes to get to Quarteira. Here we can find one of the main attractions not to be missed while visiting Quarteira, the splendid fish and fruit market. Quarteira was founded in 1916 and is known for its fish, beaches and regional pastries. The art of fishing is well known and very much appreciated here and has become a tourist attraction. We will continue the tour by biking next to the beach, only 1 meter away from us as we cycle. Can you feel the sea breeze on your face?
The next stop is the Old Village. The architecture here is inspired by the Portuguese architecture of the 19th century, that's why it's called the Old Village. The pedestrian streets are paved with the typical Portuguese cobblestones and the gardens are very well kept.
Many people don't know that there is a beautiful environmental park in the heart of Vilamoura, but it really exists! You can explore the park on foot or by bike. In the park, you can see sheep, horses (as a horse stable, Centro Hípico, is located nearby), storks and other bird species.
We then head back to Bike a Wish via the bike lanes, however, we will not skip the Vilamoura Casino!
Great trip
Great travel director
Great bus driver
Good variety of activities included and optional
Hotels good
Included meals good
Seat rotation on bus very helpful and fair
Travel Director was incredibly knowledgeable about a
Wide range of subjects relating to Ireland
She was able to quickly arrange alternative
Sites to visit when weather interfered with scheduled activities for example trip to Aran Islands was cancelled because of weather
didn’t overwhelm us with too much
Information at once, Instead she would give us some and tell us she would return to subject the next day and she would!!
I was victim of a pickpocket in Dublin, first day of trip and lost everything including passport
accompanied me to police station. Made police report. Helped me cancel credit cards. Get passport photos and offered a lot of emotional support
My travel partner and I are very grateful
Bus driver was wonderful too as were other tour participants
We were able to continue with the tour without difficulty
Pace of trip was a little hurried for us
We like to read plaques
I think Insight and travel industry should work with Dublin police to stop petty crime
Pickpocket thief is apparently well known to law enforcement
Posted warnings about pickpockets in high risk areas might help
The trauma, inconvenience and expense of this event have been significant.
As I write this I am in Seattle awaiting a regular passport….a six hour process and a 5 hour drive from my home in Portland.

Fabulous week aboard the MS Isidorus. Swimming in crystal clear water and visiting lovely Greek villages. The Explore guide was excellent and conveyed his enthusiasm for Greek history, culture and food. Evia in June was beautiful- the gorge walk was a highlight- not at all crowded and much better value than the more well known islands.

Walking in Sicily was an excellent week with a varied itinerary concentrating on attractions on the east coast . Hilights included a boat trip to the Aeolian Islands, walking on the slopes of Mt Etna, exploring remote hilltowns and ancient burial sites and visiting the attractive tourist town of Taormina, plus the ancient sites of Syracuse. Our guide, Lara, was wonderful - her knowledge of the history and geography of the area was incredible and she was very competent in dealing with the different levels of fitness amongst the group. My only disappointment was the usual second grade room which I find is allocated to solo female travellers. The hotel was well located, the breakfast buffet was generous and the staff were friendly, but when you spend 8 days in the same hotel there is an expectation of a nice view or some other redeeming factor for a small plain room. I was the first of the group to arrive at the hotel ; the last person to arrive more than a day later was a man who was allocated a suite with a sea view.
