DEPARTURE MONTHS
We offer a range of guided cycling tours that cater to various abilities and experience levels, from leisurely cycling holidays to more challenging tours. Each of our bike tours is graded from 1 to 4 to give you an insight into the experience and fitness level required. So, whether you're a complete beginner or a well-travelled cyclist, we're sure to have the right trip for you.
Our guided cycling holidays are ideal for those who want the knowledge and expertise of an experienced local guide to lead the way. You'll have a curated itinerary that covers Portugal at its finest, offering you exclusive access to some of the country's most beautiful locations.
You can expect to be in a group of around four to 16 like-minded travellers, including your tour guide. Cycling with a small group means you can ask your leader any questions you may have and gain valuable insights into your chosen destinations.
Each of our guided bike tours is hotel-to-hotel, meaning you'll be staying in different places throughout your holiday. You won't have to worry about your luggage, either, as it will be transported for you in a dedicated support vehicle.
Bikes will also be provided by our local agent and, depending on where you're headed, you could hire an e-bike or tandem for the duration of your trip.
A cycling tour will require you to pack plenty of activewear, including sweat-wicking layers, jerseys, waterproofs, socks and sunglasses. Consider packing padded shorts as these will keep you comfortable while spending long days on the saddle. It's important to pack a water bottle to keep you hydrated at all times, too.
Don't forget to bring your own helmet as we won't be able to provide you with one. You must wear one at all times while cycling.
It sure is. Cycling the trails of Portugal allows you to explore this wonderful country at your leisure while avoiding the stresses of public transport. Experience freedom on two wheels as you make your way along the rolling hills, diverse landscapes and picture-perfect routes.
You can rely on us to guarantee a fun-filled adventure holiday. With nearly 40 years' experience in the industry, we know what it takes to create unforgettable memories and experiences. Here are a few reasons why you should book your next cycling holiday with us:
