Quiet backroads and macadam trails will lead you to the next vineyard, cultural hotspot and charming hotel, where you'll get to relax and experience the local gastronomy.
We had a wonderful week on the Alentejo 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. and 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 iin Portugal is just a bonus! Planning on doing the Douro tour next year!
Our 7-day guided tour with Live, Love, Ride was everything we had hoped for and more. Our guides, Ricardo and Andre, were knowledgeable, engaging and very customer-focused. We loved their local knowledge and often asked Ricardo to order meals for the group knowing we would get the best of what was offered in the region. Our equipment, the transportation, the hotels and restaurants we visited were all top notch. The trip was a great value for the money - wrapping the services of travel agent, tour guide, and concierge all in one. The tour itself traveled through Alentejo and Algarve, took us to many beautiful beaches along the Western and Southern coast of Portugal. The riding was a mix of gravel trail and paved surface, and we were grateful for the assist from our e-bikes! Highlights included the fresh fish, the local wines, the beautiful beaches, and the premium hotels in remote locations that combined beautiful views of the countryside with first-class accommodations. The trip will leave us with memories for a lifetime. I highly recommend Live, Love, Ride for your next bike tour.
