Cycling Portugal - Porto to Lisbon

The Porto to Lisbon trip was a wonderful combination of the coast, the country's history, the cuisine and of course fado. Great guide and driver/assistant.

Oriel was an excellent tour leader, briefing us well and providing a caring support. The restaurant recommendations ensured we had good food and the lunch picnics set up by our driver were excellent.

The trip was wonderful and very informative about the state of the environment along much of the Portugal coast between Porto and Lisbon. The tour guides (Oriol Marinez Riera and Paulo Freire) were excellent, and they took great care to make it a safe and delicious trip (lunches prepared by Paulo were healthy and fabulous). Everyone in the group got along very well, helped along by the upbeat and positive attitude infused by Oriol.

I really appreciated Oriol and how he conducted the tour. He was pleasant, encouraging, and handled any situations that came up with calm confidence. Overall the tour was relaxed and easy-going. I really liked how they arranged for lunches by collecting a modest amount for the support vehicle driver to purchase lunches to enjoy roadside.

Lovely trip with manageable cycling distances and great scenery. A few roads were rather busy. Hotels generally of a very high standard with good breakfasts although a couple of rooms were on the small side. All in all a really enjoyable holiday!

Very enjoyable .Friendly people and delicious local restaurants!

excellent service from start to finish guide needed to have notice board at airport and not rely on the phone mine was in airplane mode. good hotels guide was extremely good responsible conscientious and caring. driver was great and prepared wonderful lunches the way this was done could be replicated on other trips. 16 was alot of people for one guide to deal with, if something happened at the back and word didn't go forward, too much reliance on phones, if a large group is expected maybe have cycling mechanic to be the sweep. the paperwork and explanations accurate. transfers good

Excellent trip, Lucas was a fantastic group leader. Accommodation was great, ride was very scenic and mid-ride stops were well planned. Bikes could have been in better condition.

The 5 cycling days were well chosen in terms of variety and difficulty. The group bonded well and showed enthusiasm for the efforts of the leader Dejan. He and Paolo the driver provided a lovely environment both on and off the bikes. Evenings were lively and interesting with a great choice of restaurants. The 2 and 3 star hotels were excellent.
