On a bike tour in the Camino de Santiago, you'll be joining a journey that started in the 9th Century, with the discovery, in Galiza, of the remains of St. James. This epic pilgrimage is shared by thousands of cyclists and walkers each year, as they follow the trail from France, Spain and Portugal to Santiago de Compostela. Whichever Camino you choose to ride, you are bound to marvel at the local traditions, culture, gastronomy and sense of communion between all those that share The Way - Now it’s your time to trail the Way of St James!
The Scott bikes were excellent and well maintained. The off road routes along rivers and the coastline were peaceful, interesting and scenic. The well located hotels / posadas were of a high standard with friendly staff. Daniel was very clear explaining the APP and how it works - a fantastic and user-friendly innovation. He took the time setting up our bikes and was most helpful in answering questions as regards the route as we were doing a self-guided tour. We would love to repeat this experience and have no hesitation in recommending Live Love Ride.
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.
