With our local knowledge, we can handpick the best bike for your cycling holiday
We’ve been helping people discover Northern Portugal on self-guided walking and cycling holidays since 2012. We know and love the area well, which means we can create routes taking you to all the best parts. We’ve chosen our range of bikes for their reliability and handling in the places you’ll visit.
Why choose us for your cycling holiday?
Our self-guided cycling holidays will take you to some of our favourite parts of Northern Portugal. We look for the quietest roads and show you the hidden gems. We personally test every route, using the best bikes for the terrain. That means you can relax, enjoy the views, soak up the history, and sample delicious food. We’ll also take care of your overnight luggage, so you don’t have to.
Not sure which cycling holiday to pick? No worries! Our team of friendly experts will help you choose the perfect one. They’ve cycled the routes so can take you through the difficulty, gradient, ascent, distance, and terrain.
On the first day of your cycling adventure, we’ll deliver your bike to your accommodation. A member of our team will make sure everything is set up perfectly for you. We’ll also provide each group with a first aid kit, puncture repair kit, and mini tool. Plus, you’ll have access to our 24/7 English-speaking helpline, just in case.
All our cycling holidays come with a GPS navigation system. This will give you turn-by-turn directions and alerts if you go off-route. But we also give you a printed roadbook with detailed route notes, so you’ll always have a back-up option.
About our bikes
Because we’ve ridden the routes ourselves, we can select the best bikes for each of our cycling holidays. Each bike has a full service between trips, replacing any parts as needed. Plus, we always ensure the brake pads are changed, delivering the bike as new to our guests.
All our bikes are high-quality Trek bikes, chosen for reliability and performance. We have different sizes and use the Trek size guide [add link to PDF] to pick the best one for you. When you book a cycling holiday with us, we’ll ask for your height so we can reserve your bike.
We also have some e-bikes in our fleet, which can help give you a boost on the hills. Some of our cycling holidays always include an e-bike because of the terrain. We design these tours to make sure there’s at least 25% battery left by the end of the day. For other holidays, we offer e-bikes as an optional upgrade.
