“Great plan, great execution and best of all lots of laughs. Exactly what my wife and I were looking for in a cycling holiday. Tough but not too tough. If there is gas in the tank at the end of the day, then just hit that last climb one more time. Spectacular accommodation. See for yourself. Excellent guidance and support! Like riding with family (but just the ones that you really like). Thanks Andre and Jose for the comradeship. Beer for the people! Cheers,”

“So glad we opted for this fabulous trip and specifically the Guided. Guided only makes the trip more enjoyable. Plenty of good biking that exceeded our expectations, but having it guided just makes it that more special. Accommodations were unique and beautiful. Worth the climbs up to them, whenever or however you get there 🙂 . Bikes were great, food was great food and wine were great but lastly our guides, Andre and Jose, were great! They set the tone from the beginning. Nothing was a problem. They adapted and customized to each of our needs, when needed. We were a small group of 7 riders that all meshed so well. We were so lucky! This Portugal Bike trip is now our “top trips list.”

“This was a return to Portugal after our first visit five years ago. Portugal Bike afforded us a totally different experience from touring in a car – a perfect combination of an active yet fully relaxing vacation with great food and excellent wines. The variety of paths and roads we travelled on the high quality (and fun – especially the sections like easy trail riding) hybrid bikes enabled us to see beautiful scenery not otherwise easily accessible, e.g. pounding waves on the west coast, monasteries and ancient towns at the top of hills (the granny gear made getting up the hills very manageable). When we had to share the roads, the drivers were extremely respectful. Everything was well planned and Jose and Christina were excellent hosts.
We are looking forward to seeing more of Portugal on a bike in the future. Portugal by Bike – We Loved it!”

“We had a wonderful time on your Charming Pousadas of the North tour. The landscape was lush, verdant and varied. Jose planned a wonderful route, as far away from traffic as possible – country roads, farm and forest lanes, cobblestone paths through villages, even a segment of a Roman Road. In addition to planning a unique and satisfying route, Jose was a pleasure to ride with, full of cheer and a font of cultural and historical information. Cristina provide solid van support, perfect picnic lunches. The accommodations were wonderful, luxe and filled with history. Cristina and Jose also were perfect dinner hosts, choosing restaurants wisely, and creating a warm flow of conversation. The overall experience was a wonderful introduction to Portugal that only thoughtful and gracious Portuguese hosts could provide. We are veterans of about 20 inn-to-inn bike touring trips with a variety of touring groups, and found Portugal Bike to be at the top in terms of the overall quality of our experience. We’re looking forward to booking another trip with Portugal Bike in the near future.”

“What an exceptional experience! We had such a wonderful time full of cultural experience, beautiful cycling and accompanied by two amazing individuals. Jose and Ricardo really made the trip over the top wonderful. The north of Portugal is a beautiful place and well worth the time! All logistics were well planned and hassle free to boot. Again, I want to reiterate how amazing the guides are. Truly exceptional people. Not to mention the food! I wasn’t expecting the gastronomy to be so great as well. I highly recommend this or any trip with these folks”
