Live Love Ride comes highly recommended. We choose a self guided bike tour from Porto to Santiago de Compostela on The Central Camino. It was well worth hiring them to make our trip hassle free. They took care of all the details; arranged transportation to and from the airport, booked our hotels, provided us mountain bikes and all the gear, transferred our luggage daily, provided exceptional restaurant recommendations, and checked in with us along the way. The service was excellent! They went out of their way to answer our questions and make sure we were happy and taken care of. Their service made this trip extra special.
The mountain biking was unbelievable. It was both challenging and rewarding. I loved the different terrain and remarkable views. We never knew what to expect around the next turn. This route was perfect for us! In total it was 6 epic days of riding, 180 beautiful miles, and 15,000' of elevation gain, making this trip one of best vacations I have ever taken.
Where to start? I tagged along with my friends on a 6-day bike tour. We had e-bikes, although our guide, Ricardo, did not. I am not an experienced cyclist, (I am 65, but in good shape) but I absolutely loved every minute. Ricardo was patient and thorough in his preparations for each day. He led us through a variety of rides from easy to hard, but never too hard. We rode a few hours in the morning and then had beautiful accommodations to relax in the rest of the day. Ricardo also scouted out excellent 5-star accommodations as well as wonderful dining experiences each evening. These were hotels and restaurants we weren't likely to find on our own as tourists. There was no better way to see the countryside and really soak up the culture. Everywhere we went the people were kind and welcoming. Ricardo was personable, well-versed in his country's history, and did I mention he was patient? Even when one of us rode past the turn-off and he had to ride down the hill and back up again?! Live, Love, Ride is a "must-do" for anyone wanting an exciting experience and a unique way to see Spain!
