Portugal Guided Tours

Scenery better day 3/4/5 of riding. Maybe start a bit further out as found getting out of Porto a little scary considering had just picked up bikes. Moov hotel Porto a little basic. Our tour leader David was exceptional 👏👏

Thoroughly enjoyed our excursion. Though there were just a few that opted for e-bikes, I am glad that we chose to do so. The coast is quite windy, and though the tour is marked as “moderate”, the 20% of off road terrain would make it a bit more challenging, albeit fully enjoyable. Djan, our competent, steady and calm guide, and Pedro, who prepared our picnic lunches, were a stellar team to guide us on our way. Highly recommend this tour.

This was a wonderful trip which exceeded my expectations in many ways: the diversity of landscapes, the variety of walks (cliffs, headlands, dunes, rocky paths) and the knowledge and care of our local guides.

Was jam pack but very manageable. If you like history and quaint villages and beautiful scenery this is the trip for you. We had a great guide (). He check in on each of us everyday to see if we needed anything or was not please with something he could fix. All the hotel were 5 stars in my opinion. I highly recommend this trip.

Why isn’t the southwest coast of Portugal talked about worldwide as a gorgeous destination? The scenery was spectacular day after day. This trip, just completed yesterday (Sept 13, 2026) was easily one of the best cycling trips we’ve ever taken. Our guide João Colaço and support man-of-many-skills Vitor delivered a perfect, memorable experience with every minute detail organized and managed with forethought and professionalism. The riding had its challenges, and I would encourage anyone waffling between e-bike or regular bike to opt for the ebike, which made the climbs very comfortable. Our e-bikes were the best e-bikes we have ever ridden, with ample power and comfort, while taking a beating on some of the gravel roads. The food, organized by João and Vitor, was as amazing as you might imagine, from fresh fish to octopus to lamb, shellfish, and fruits and pastries. Accommodations were lovely and uncrowded, all locally owned and very charming. João’s daily briefings included expectations for the next day as well as updates on weather and wind, and cultural and historical notes. He has a vast knowledge of Portuguese history and culture and entertained us with his orientations to all the local spots. He and Vitor are truly exceptional guides, and I can’t commend them highly enough.

Explore Leader Susi was amazing! The pace of the trip was excellent and we covered so much. Disappointment was the hotel in Lisbon - “Empire” - too corporate and the location was awful.
