E-BIKE TOURS IN PORTUGAL

We had the experience of a lifetime with our tour guides on our 6 day bike tour around the Minho Valley. We would 100% recommend Live Love Ride for a bike tour in Portugal, for the following reasons: 1. The bicycles (both e-bikes and traditional) were very high quality and were maintained perfectly so there were no mechanical issues. 2. The restaurants and accommodation chosen are all first class. The pool and cold drinks at the end of a warm day’s riding were most welcome! 3. By keeping the rider size to a small number (we had 12), the camaraderie and rapport of the group was allowed to develop. We made very strong connections with our group. 4. Most of all, the care and consideration of our tour guides was exceptional. They worked tirelessly to make sure everything was right and everyone was happy. No request was too great and they were mindful and accommodating of the different skill levels in the riding group.

We were based in Cascais, near Lisbon for 12 days and Live Love Ride were by far the easiest to work with in tailoring just what we needed. A guided bike tour 4 times over the 12 days for a morning each time. The bikes were amazing and set up ready for us to use. Rodrigo always made us feel confident on the ride and also coaching us when needed up the hills, thank you. We had some great fun and saw lots of the rides around Cascais and Sintra that are amazing. Thank you Rodrigo and Pedro and looking forward to coming again shortly for some more cycling.

We had a wonderful week on the Alentejo wine country bike tour. The programme itself was excellent – we loved all the places we visited – the accommodation was outstanding – so unusual – and the towns and villages all so beautiful. The rides each day were great fun – challenging, but manageable, and the reward at the destination – reaching the beautiful town or seeing the magnificent view were always worth it. Lovely scenery along the way, good roads, fun coffee stops. Our guides Rodrigo and Luis were both super guys – we couldn’t have asked for better – not only efficient and organised, but so friendly and always helpful and patient when dealing with any request from anyone, and just fun people to be around! They took us to lovely restaurants, different every time, and we all really enjoyed the delicious Portuguese cuisine and wine! It was a lovely week, a great experience from every angle, and the beautiful weather in Portugal is just a bonus! Planning on doing the Douro bike tour next year.
