Portugal Bicycle Tours

First of all the trip leader Oriole was excellent and attentive, as was Pedro the sag driver. It was a great idea that Pedro also set a spread out for lunch every day. It was delicious and efficient. The itinerary was beautiful on the coast. Iiked that all of us went to dinner together every night. We had a group that geled. I might change the last overnight from the town we ended in to the beautiful beach town just prior to the one we ended as by the time we got to the end beach and leisure time was past.

The trip was amazing. The scenery we biked by was truely amazing to see. Our trip leader Oriol was really great and he took great care of us all. A little disappointed with some of the hotels we were placed in. They were all rated at 4 stars... I'd say the first hotel and the last hotel was a 4 star. But after that the hotels just went down hill from there. Over all it was a wonderful bike trip

Fantastic holiday loved it - very challenging in the heat but beautiful itinerary, great group and wonderful leader-highly recommend. This is my 16th holiday I’ve done with explore over the last 30 years and really do think cycling is the best way to explore a country.

Such a great tour, mostly lovely bike paths some streets with more traffic but still great for cycling with great views. Great fellow travellers. Superbe and very friendly guide Lucas, who managed to keep the group together easily and without pushing or stopping anyone and driver Paulo who did a lot of work behind the scenes (was also our picnic chef). Clean accommodation, perfectly located. Bikes in good shape. However the trip ist expensive considering it's not even a week long and only breakfast is included. I would change the itinerary and add a day at a beach town in the middle, after 2 or 3 days cycling it makes sense to have a break from it and enjoy the beautiful beaches and relax a bit.

Pablo and Bill took complete care of us and made our trip special. Both had lots of knowledge about the history and country of Portugal which they shared with us. Bill prepared awesome picnic lunches for us on three of the days. Much appreciated.

Our guide, Pablo, was outstanding! As was our driver and lunch maker extraordinaire, Bill. Pablo was supportive, concise in his explanations of what to expect each day while cycling. He has a fun sense of humor and a positive attitude. In addition to all of that, he is so very interesting. Bill is kind, humorous and a fabulous "cook", making excellent picnics for us. The cycling itself was just right for each day.
