Portugal By Bike
Pedal your way into the heart of Portugal, uncovering treasures as you bike, hike, and sip on an adventure that perfectly blends culture, history, and outdoor fun—plus plenty of well-deserved downtime! And let’s not forget the food! Indulge in melt-in-your-mouth pastries, fresh seafood, savory cured meats, and a proud wine heritage that will have you coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!)
Bike tour the iconic Douro Valley and sample the region's signature grapes direct from the makers. Cycle along historic railway paths in the gorgeous countryside, then lace up your hiking boots to and explore sections of Portugal’s legendary Camino trails. Kick back and drift down the ‘river of gold,’ surrounded by rolling hills and lush grapevines. Find out first-hand why Portugal is the hottest travel destination and make some incredible memories while you’re at it!
Portugal has been custodian to a strong wine culture ever since the Romans uncorked their first red. Taste your way through history from crisp whites, to complex port vintages.
Bike touring the Douro Valley should be on every bucket list. Picture rolling hills, terraced vines, old stone villages and postcard views!
Every corner of Portugal paints a historical story, from old family wineries, to the ceramic tiled buildings, even the century old olive groves.
Portuguese tarts, freshly grilled sardines, sizzling steaks, deep red wines... Getting hungry yet? Time to indulge!

The Rewards of Bike Tours in Portugal
Scenic Cycles
Portugal offers some fantastic opportunities for cycle touring, and we've gone to great lengths to make sure your rides are destined to live on in your memory well after the wheels have stopped turning.
You'll enjoy a good blend of scenery and riding days, and we stand by our statement that our tours are accessible to riders of all abilities. Our Rest & Ride vehicle is always on standby should you need a break from the saddle or just a helping hand up a hill. E-bikes are also an option should you want a little more boost in pedal power.
Look forward to exploring the spectacular Douro Valley on two wheels, a must for any traveler. Sipping wine at a multi-generational vineyard, and tasting complex ports. Trekking along some of Portugal's famous Camino trails. Riding the back roads through olive groves and classic Portuguese scenery.

Tasty Treats
We'll be straight—some of us cycle so we can eat! And if you're anything like us, food takes center stage in your vacation plans.
In Portugal, you'll get to enjoy plenty of local treats, turning your active cycle tour into a food tour as well! All breakfasts, two dinners and several lunches have been included in the tour program, and on the other occasions you are free to explore the many local dining options at your pleasure.
Sample some of Portugal's iconic dishes, such as freshly grilled sardines, melt-in-your-mouth pastries, or Porto's famously indulgent Francesinha grilled sandwich (bring your appetite for that one!) We're getting hungry just thinking about it! It doesn't just stop at food either, you'll also visit a local winery, meet the makers, learn about the regional varieties and preparation, and best of all, sample the local vino at the source!
