Do you like gravel or MTB bike riding? Then this is the trip for you. Do you only like road bike riding? This isn’t the trip for you.
While there are sections on smooth backroads and bike paths, there are many sections on cobblestones, single track, forest trails, lumpy, bumpy and rocky paths. Some of these trails will be too steep or too rocky to ride and you will need to push your bike up these sections. There will also be times (mostly on day 1), where you will need to carry your bike up and down the stairs of flyovers of railway line crossings. There will also be times where the gps/Camino trail takes you down one way streets. There will also be a few times when the gps track differs from the Camino trail markers - we defaulted to following the Camino trail markers.
The challenge is worth it. Experiencing different scenery, visiting interesting towns, meeting walkers (we didn’t meet any other riders).

Well organized and educational.
The tour was great but your head office provided some inaccurate information about weather trends and did not follow through with my request for two additional nights before the tour and my request for a single occupancy room.

En General nos ha gustado el viaje.
Los lugares que hemos visitado han sido hermosos.
El primer dia habia una chica en silla de ruedas en Madrid, cuando la chica subio al autobus y trato de buscar asiento fue la ultima en subir y todos los asientos estaban ocupados con muletas iba la pobre recorriendo el autobus, mientras el autobus estaba en movimieto... hasta que empezamos a gritarle al guia para que parara el autobus pues la chica se iba callendo.
La otra fue que en 2 dias consecutivos un grupo que venia en parejas se sentaron separados todos en ventanilla, dejandonos unicamente asientos en pasillo y sin la posibilidad de sentarnos con nuestra familia, al quejarnos con el guia, no hicieron nada.
Al dia siguiente despues de una parada, ese mismo grupo entro al autobus antes y movio nuestras pertenencias de nuestros asientos para hacer lo mismo, sentarse todos en ventanilla. YO trate se sentarme al lado de una senora en un asiento libre de pasillo y la senora no me dejo sentarme ahi, puso su bolsa, al pedirle de favor si podia mover si bolsa para yo sentarme, pues era el unico asiento libre, la hija sentada enfrente empezo a gritarme que no me querian que yo me sentara al lado de la senora, que la senora queria ir ella sola en los 2 asientos, otro pasajero se dio cuenta y me hizo el gran favor de moverse junto a su esposo para que yo me pudiera sentar junto a mi hija, mientras los guias solo nos veian, hasta que me dirigi directo a los guias, lo unico que hicieron es hablar con todo el autobus para pedir cada quien se sentara donde venia. Nada agradable. Despues de esto nos cambiamos de autobus con un grupo de 6 otros pasajeros en Portugal y el viaje fue maravillosamente agradable con ellos.

You begin in UNESCO-recognised Porto, a beautiful mix of winding, medieval streets, impressive architecture and the serene Douro River, packed with brightly coloured rabelo sailing boats - it's also home to some world-famous wine cellars. From here you'll head south, past sandy bays and beaches, to your luxury hotel in Furadouro right on the beachfront, before heading via the Aveiro Lagoon, to 'Portugal's Venice', Aveiro. Here, the latticework canals are overlooked by grand buildings and inviting restaurants, while pretty moliceiro boats sail leisurely along the water. Returning to the ocean you'll pass high sand dunes and fragrant pine and acacia forest, on your way to Praia de Mira, before heading inland to the Spa town of Curia in the Bairrada wine region, the home of Portugal's best Champagne-style wine - be sure to stop for a tasting! From Curia your final stretch takes you to Coimbra, Portugal's former capital and now a cosmopolitan university city. Explore its charming cobbled alleyways, bustling markets and wonderful architecture such as the 16th century aqueduct and the university's sublime Baroque library, perhaps rounding off with a traditional fado evening in one of the local bars.
