    Enjoyed the scenery on this tour. Fortunately, I was able to switch to an e-bike after the first day. It was very hot and someone on the tour had to be taxied to the hotel we were staying in that night due to heatstroke. Our guide Frank did his best to meet our needs. We had specifically requested that helmets be provided and were assured that they would be but on the day we received our bikes, there weren’t enough helmets! The towns we stayed in along the route were interesting. We enjoyed a day off in Vila de Milfontes before the two longest and most challenging days of the tour.

    This trip was a very difficult’moderate ride’. It would have been nice to get more information in the grades of the hills prior to booking this trip.

    Beautiful scenery, the guides were thoughtful and great, the bikes were ok. I would rate this ride as moderate to difficult. There were hills with 18 and 20 percent grades which I don’t consider to be moderate. More transparency around the difficulty of this ride would have been appreciated in advance. As well a heads up of possible high temperatures would be good. We had one day where the temperature was over 38 degrees, people should be prepared for that. We were told there would be enough helmets for everyone in our group and there was not. Overall a great experience with some wonderful people.

    Adrian (leader) and Paolo (support did a great job. The coast of Portugal is beautiful. The hotels are correct without being luxurious. The food was great and relatively inexpensive. We were a small group ( 5 only) and we all got along very well.
