Serra da Estrela

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 !!

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...…….!!
