GRAVEL BIKE TOURS IN PORTUGAL

Our group of four senior riders just returned from a wonderful biking adventure in Portugal and Spain, riding from Porto to Santiago de Compostela with Live Love Ride. Once we realized that the full bike trip might be beyond our abilities, Pedro, Rodrigo and Jonas customized the daily rides to better suit our comfort level while maintaining the overall flavor of the experience. Our guides, Rodrigo and Jonas, went in advance to create an appropriate route and Pedro arranged for three out of four of us to have e-bikes, the perfect solution. We came away with great respect for the company’s eagerness to individualize the experience and satisfy their clients. LLR uses well located, quality hotels, Paradors and Posadas and chooses restaurants that provide a sampling of local flavor and foods. Rodrigo’s knowledge of wine was a bonus at each meal. Their primary goals were our safety and our enjoyment. One of the highlights was getting to know our terrific guides, Rodrigo, Jonas and Pedro, and benefiting from their personal experiences and knowledge about the culture and beauty of Portugal and Spain. Thanks for a memorable week and for your positive attitudes.

Our bike tour in Portugal with Live Love Ride exceeded every expectation of our Trip to the the Alentejo and the Algarve region. We biked down the Southern coast of Portugal and the views were breathtaking. Pictures simply can not do it justice. The biking was challenging and rewarding. Looking forward to the amazing food and wine at the end of the day was certainly a highlight. The fresh fish and incredible Portuguese wine were fabulous.
We were so impressed with the hotels chosen by the company. Each night brought a new sense of adventure with beautiful rooms and great views. The laid back atmosphere of the region was exactly what my wife and I were looking for.
Our tour guides for the week Rodrigo and Joao were an instant hit! I never expected the type of attention they provided. The biking was only a part of it. Attention was paid to our every need, from luggage transfers to our meals and wine choices. They were both warm, caring and courteous. I am proud to call them my friends! We hope to someday go back and do the North of Portugal with them!

The mountain biking was unbelievable. It was both challenging and rewarding. I loved the different terrain and remarkable views along the Portuguese Camino de Santiago. We never knew what to expect around the next turn. This route was perfect for us! In total it was 6 epic days of riding, 180 beautiful miles, and 15,000 feet of elevation gain, making this trip one of best vacations I have ever taken. Portugal Bike Tours comes highly recommended.
