TOURING BIKE TOURS 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.

Thank you for a truly wonderful cycling holiday in Alentejo. It really exceeded our expectations. André our tour guide was fantastic in his organisation, support and encouragement. It made a huge difference to the experience and enjoyment.

10 friends from AK traveled to Portugal to take a break from all the responsibilities of marriage, motherhood and work for 10 days. Not sure if Live Love Ride knew what they were getting themselves into but they took on the challenge. Our guides Ricardo and Rodrigo provided the perfect vacation for us. Beautiful restaurants, challenging but not demoralizing biking and hiking, Portuguese cultural experiences, boat rides, port and wine tastings and the list goes on. I’m excited to bring my family back for a visit and I have no doubt Ricardo and Rodrigo will provide the same quality of care and memory making opportunities that we all experienced in this trip. Wonderful Douro River bike tour from start to finish.
