a true taste of Lisbon
Lisbon Food Tasting E-Bike Tour
This was a magnificent flavor adventure where we sampled incredible, authentic delicacies like codfish cake and pasteis de nata. Our guide made sure we experienced the best of the city's food scene in Alfama and Mouraria.

An experience of a lifetime
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
A ride trip to explore Portugal the best way I could experience. Choose to engage with Bike Tours was a rewarding journey as the planning was almost flawless right from the beginning. Their agents were responsive and answered all my questions, or doubts and issues, timely updates and reminders and good specific ground arrangements. The ride route was amazingly beautiful. It's my first time doing a self guided international ride, and it's easy to navigate, and route is clear. Me and my best friend had a blast of our own sweet time, stopping at any view point we like. I guessed that's the good thing about self guided tours. I would definitely recommend Bike Tours and also might even consider planning myself another bike trip with them.

Lovely tour
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
This tour was lovely. The hotels were beautiful. The local company is very responsive, and sent someone right away to adjust brakes and derailleurs on one of our rented bikes. The route is quite hilly. For those not in peak cycling form, I recommend an electric bike. I also recommend taking an extra day in Sintra to see all of the sights.

Great Tour
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
This was a great tour, with a mix of countryside, fishing villages, and majestic views! Our group chose to spend an extra day in Sintra and Cascais and might have added another in retrospect. With the longer daily mileage, and extra day would have provided a little more time to explore. Be prepared for hills, many of them quite steep! But the views are worth it.

Very Difficult!
Camino de Santiago: From Porto to Santiago de Compostela
This is our third bike tour. Italy, Spain and now Portugal. The terrain was extremely difficult...hilly, cobblestone, dirt trails and in some cases stone trails. Many situations we were walking the bikes. E bikes is definitely recommended. Hotels were very good, directions utilizing the Live, Love Ride app was excellent. Never used the provided GPS unit. Trail was clearly marked for the pilgrimage. Hikers in most cases were very friendly and accommodating since you did have to share the trail. We did have the opportunity to stop in small, neighborhood cafes which was so much fun and Santiago was absolutely incredible! One unfortunate comment, money was missing from a compartment in my backpack (pretty well hidden) on the first hotel luggage transfer and also our luggage was delivered to the wrong hotel on another instance. Sergio fixed the luggage delivery quickly and did inquire regarding the missing cash to no avail.

Beautiful sights, costal cities, and small villages
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
Excellent routing, beautiful tour. Great support. We used Ride with GPS and Google maps to shorten our routes after day one. 45 miles in those hills was to challenging. Those in our group who stayed the course weren't getting in till 6:30

Gorgeous Coastal Ride and Villages
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
Portugal is a very welcoming and beautiful country to visit. The villages we stayed in were charming, hotels were wonderful and the people were very kind to us. I especially loved Sintra and Cascais. However, I would not do Portugal by bike again as there is way to much climbing and traffic/tour buses to fully enjoy the views. At the start of the ride some of our bikes had shifting issues and we experienced dropped chains and a lot of gear skipping. Luckily we had a bike mechanic in our group who made adjustments and we were able to continue the ride without outside help. I would suggest the gearing be replaced or fixed before anyone rides bike #12 again. It has an issue around gear #5 that our mechanic said needed fixed in a shop.

Wonderful scenery.
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
A wonderful way to see the Atlantic Coast. I found it to br much harder than expected because of the many hills, some of which were very steep. I requested an e-bike at the end of the first day and it was organised and delivered to Obidos the next morning. This made all the difference to my enjoyment of the tour. I was very impressed with the bikes, tour information, and staff. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

First trip to Portugal, won’t be the last!
Gravel Biking from Alentejo to the Algarve
The local tour company was amazing! Checked in with us every day since we self guided. Bikes were great as were the hotels. We would highly recommend this tour for mountain bikers who who want less challenge or road bikers who want more.

Fun ride, slow pace
Lisbon Food Tasting E-Bike Tour
The cycling portion was a great way to see Alfama's quirky streets, but the tastings themselves felt a bit rushed at times. While the food was delicious, I wish we had spent slightly more time enjoying the local markets.

Great food, cool neighborhoods
Lisbon Food Tasting E-Bike Tour
We sampled everything from smoked meats and cheeses to delicious cherry liqueur, covering Alfama and Mouraria easily on our bikes. It was a well-organized and mouthwatering mission that gave us a fantastic overview of the city.

Charming cultural ride
Lisbon Food Tasting E-Bike Tour
Loved soaking up the atmosphere in Mouraria, hearing about the heritage of Fado, and exploring the local fishmonger's catch of the day. This tour is a wonderful, lively introduction to the soul and flavors of Lisbon.

Best of Portugal
Algarve Coastal Route
This was a very good tour of the southern Portugal coastal towns. The scenery is amazing and some of the towns like Tavira are beautiful and perfect for their restaurants and artistry. The ride does fluctuate from paved roads to dirt roads with boardwalks providing very nice scenery on day 3 and 4.

Wonderful way to see Lisbon and get a feel for its history!
Hills of Lisbon E-Bike Tour
Our guides were attentive, instructive, fun and so loaded with historical facts! Oriana led at the front and Roberto (Mr Bean) kept us safe and entertained. We loved the narrow streets and energy of the city. We have brought visitors to this group several times and it’s always a highlight. Even if you need to take it slow, it’s ok, you’ll be taken care of and have a great time. I bring a water and a snack but they do make a stop at a beautiful lookout that has vendors for water and lemonade (think TART). Don’t be afraid! E-bikes are a blast!

Experiences along the Atlantic coast of Portugal
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
The biketour along the Portugal's Atlantic Coast was one of our best bike tours, of many. We experienced a wonderful nature, with steep cliffs, long sand beaches, green landscape, and with numerous villages in between, both idyllic and historic. Before start, the guide gave us a thorough introduction of what to see and expect. Under way, we had very good help of tour maps and trip plan in mobile apps. Alternative routes were helpful, for adapting our energy for elevation and road surface. We found the hotels to be both inviting and comfortable. Bikes were new and very good. Generally, the tour was very good planned and organised.
