All Bike Types in Portugal

We just finished a fabulous biking trip in northern Portugal with Live Love Ride. Over five days we cycled (with E-bikes, although some in our group chose regular bikes) southwest along the Lima River to the Atlantic coast, then northwest along the Minho River. We had two guides from LLR, Sergio and Joaquim who were great–both with details, logistics and with providing good company. We went with friends from the US we’ve known for years and then had the good fortune to have in our cycling group 3 from Australia and a family of 5 from South Africa. We all got on tremendously well, rode as one group and had most of meals together. Meals–in hotels and local restaurants ranged from very good to excellent. And hotels, chosen by LLR were also very good. My wife and I moved to Lisbon a year ago and had not traveled this far north in Portugal until now and we love it. Hoping we return soon and also do another bike tour in Portugal with LLR.

We rode for 5 days in the Azores in a private group of 4. A van was following us at all times with food and drinks and a guide was biking with us, coaching us on the hard bits of the tour. We saw a lot of beautiful landscape on the Sao Miguel island of the Azores. The guides were very professional, were listening to our needs and adapted the tour to make it best enjoyable for us. Bikes were of excellent quality and well maintained. I strongly recommend this Azores bike tour.
