What our customers says about us…

We did a half day tour of Arrabida, ending with the local dessert and wine tasting. It was amazing! The company is great at communicating to make the reservations. They picked us up near our hotel in Lisbon and organized everything. Ricardo was a fantastic tour guide. Breathtaking views. The ride was exactly the amount of challenge the we wanted, mostly leisurely downhills with some good uphills. We loved the wine tour and tasting afterward. Definitely would recommend!!!

Wonderful trip; good roads, limited traffic, courteous drivers and, most of all, excellent guides. Ricardo and Victor did a great job. I highly recommend the country and the company.

We went on a 5 day Challenge Tour of the Alentejo with Bike Tours Portugal and it was wonderful. It started with a professional and very responsive booking process to fit our needs. Our guide provided us with everything we needed to remain safe during our self guided tour. He provided us with daily options for lunch on the road and dinners in town. This was a really excellent tour and we look forward to doing another tour with Bike Tours Portugal.
