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 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.

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.
