Nothing quite like road cycling to explore more of a country. Ride the distance, as fast or as slow as you feel like, embracing the climbs and enjoying the descends - get to know a country's topography in your legs, stop at the cafes, conquer the viewpoints and finish your day relaxing at hand-picked hotels and soaking in the culture in one our our local experiences.
I had a wonderful bike trip in the Douro River area in October in a guided cycling group. The area is very scenic and the biking was fantastic. This is not an easy trip for most cyclists and training is seriously advisable or take another less challenging tour Live, Love, Ride offers. The hotel accommodations were very good and the restaurants for lunches and dinner our guides picked out - simply awesome. I did not expect the food to be that good on this trip and it exceeded all expectations. Rodrigo and Luiz were fantastic guides - friendly, attentive and just a pleasure to be with and around. I strongly recommend Live, Love, Ride for a wonderful active cycling vacation in Portugal...…….!!
We've traveled across the most beautiful regions of Portugal and had the opportunity to experience the best roads and sceneries...as well as the flavours of tradicional Portuguese food.
Ricardo is a 5* host and kept the motivation and joyfulness at the highest level.
It's a must do for the bike enthusiast and everyone that want's to tell their grand children about the amazing achievement 🙂
