TOURING BIKE TOURS IN PORTUGAL

We have had a great experience in preparing the our self-guided bike tour in Portugal. The LLR team was very responsive and flexible in building a tour according to our demands. We didn’t take the standard 6-days package: we added a few resting days to the 6-days cycling and we requested for selected lodging. The tour itself was also great, thanks to it being well prepared by the team, the nice weather and the warm and hospitable portugese people (!). The time of the year was well choosen – we didn’t have the summer heat – which made it a very nice encounter with the Alentejo and the Algarve. After more than 30 years, it was a lovely reencounter with Portugal and the Portugese people.

We have about 8 couples that routinely do bike tours in Europe. So far this was the best. The majority of us did e-bike, some for the first time, and it was a great experience. Andre, Joaquin, Oscar were fantastic bike guides. Daniel is the wizard behind the screen so to speak, herding all of us, finding restaurants, supporting our ride, and providing historical insight. Some of us became a bit weary of all of the cod/meat. If I did the trip again, I would order more soup/salad & if I ordered a meat dish, I would share. A great add-on would be a visit to a place where olives are processed. They do have a less physically aggressive family trip along the Douro. I would like to return for that to have more time to explore on my own. I highly recommend this bike tour company in Portugal.
