On a bike tour in the Douro valley, you'll get to explore the world's first demarcated wine country, cycling alongside it's trademark terraced vineyards. You'll be riding by winding roads, up and down the river, relaxing in charming wine estates, now refurbished into charm hotels, and experiencing the rich wine and gastronomy culture of this special region. The roads are just perfect for road cyclists and e-bikers to explore, with breathtaking views everywhere you look.
My wife and I found this tour to be amazing, challenging and everything we had hoped for in a Portugal cycling adventure. We found the roads very smooth, extremely light traffic, and breathtaking views. Daily rides were through the Douro estate vineyards and through small,
quaint ,cobble-stoned villages; historic and still inhabited.vOur guide, Daniel was extremely attentive and flexible to our desires and needs always giving us the space and time to enjoy the beautiful countryside at our own pace. (He even allowed us to take a quick side trip into Spain because I really wanted to!)
The accommodations were five star and dinners expertly prepared and presented artistically!
Daniel was wonderful in giving us insights and recommendations daily so we could choose how our free time was spent off the bike… sightseeing touring castles, resting poolside.
Daily rest stops included enjoying espresso in the mornings and wonderful Douro wines to sample at lunch and dinner.
We are ALREADY planning our next
LIVE LOVE RIDE adventure… can’t wait !!
We were based in Cascais, near Lisbon for 12 days and after just getting back into cycling I needed to keep it up. LiveLoveRide were by far the easiest to work with in tailoring just what we needed. A guided tour 4 times over the 12 days for a morning each time. The bikes were amasing and set up ready for us to use. Rodrigo who was great at making us feel confident on the ride and also coaching us when needed up the hills (thank you). We had some great fun and saw lots of the rides around Cascais and Sintra that are amasing. Thank you Rodrigo and Pedro and looking forward to coming again shortly for some more cycling.
