We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, appreciated the thoughtful guidance from the team, and had a great experience overall with wonderful people! I’m sorry to learn that you found parts of the ride more challenging than expected. This trip is graded as moderate, with medium-length rides designed for cyclists accustomed to undulating routes and occasional energetic climbs. However, we understand that the steeper sections and high temperatures you experienced may have been tougher than anticipated. Your feedback about the grading and the need for mentioning potential high temperatures is valuable, and I’ll be discussing this with our Product Manager to ensure we provide clearer information, so everyone knows what to expect. Additionally, I apologise for the inconvenience caused by the shortage of helmets. We will review this to ensure it doesn’t happen again on future tours.

Asked on December 5th, 2024I am interested in the Lisbon to Algarve tour. I see that 'tour bikes' are used. What size tires are used on these bikes? (I only ask because the last tour i was on for 'tour bikes' they gave me basically an e-bike without a motor) We are also interest in renting one e bike. I see the brochure says, 'e-bike, if available'. we would not be able to take this tour without an e bike for my wife.
