  Alva Douro River E-Bike & Boat
Portugal

This was a river cruise with a biking contingent of 19 people out of 100 people. I would have enjoyed more biking. I especially enjoyed our picnic at Castello Rodrigo, the food and views were fantastic. Later that same day we stopped for a break in a small town where the local townspeople invited us to see their church. Truly magical!

Multi-adventure on Madeira Island
Portugal

The guides were wonderful. They had local information and history to share with us, laughed at our misadventures and were extremely supportive as we hiked, rode bikes and just viewed the scenery. Miguel was there every step of the tour as our contact person. Marco was wonderful and had great suggestion for dinners around the island. Joesphina had the local history down and could personalize it to make the country come alive.

Camino de Santiago E-Bike Tour
Portugal, Spain

This bike route was wonderful…so much variety. The cycling was very enjoyable with a few challenges along the way to keep things interesting. To experience the El Camino by bike was an amazing experience. The tour guides did everything possible to make our journey safe, interesting and fun. The accommodations were top notch including two outstanding hotels. With the help of the guides we experienced wonderful local food. This trip is a must do…..and would recommend using an e-bike.

We didn't know a lot about the Douro Valley and were amazed at how beautiful it is!

Camino de Santiago E-Bike Tour
Portugal, Spain

I never knew there could be so many different types of trail surfaces, and on this trip, you could go from one type to another without warning. That made it a bit challenging but it also made it interesting.
The other thing that made it both challenging and interesting in doing the self-guided tour, was figuring out where the path went as it meandered through backstreets of towns. GPS was definitely necessary, but there were still times when you wondered, a little, where to turn. I noticed that signage did get more abundant as we got closer to Santiago, which made it a little easier.
There were also a variety of hotel types, which also made it very interesting.

Multi-adventure on Madeira Island
Portugal

The island of Madeira is beautiful! Gorgeous vistas all over the island! We had some wonderful hikes and the bike rides were fun although mostly downhill. Our guides were really good especially Josephina!

Everything! One of ours best trip ever. Our tour guides were very caring and supportive. Sergio and John (sorry, I am sure I didn't spell your name in Portuguese) were always available and provide us with everything we needed including adventures and great crafted tour. They were very professional and always available. We had fantastic time and plan to travel with them again. We biked through beautiful and diverse landscape, we visited beautiful towns and villages, enjoyed great food and fantastic atmosphere a small group of people who loved active traveling.

North Portugal
Portugal

Visiting historical towns. I would build in some rest days to explore the towns.
I also enjoyed trying to navigate and stay on track. Some of the dirt tracks were a bit much, however. I think the routes should stay on more well-used tracks, even if they are dirt.

Paradise in Portugal
Portugal

Loved the staff! Charming location on a farm outside Evora. Bikes were great - easy to ride and shift.
Map was confusing through Evora on the monolith tour

North Portugal
Portugal

This trip was fabulous. It was great arranging everything through Tripsite as they were very easy to communicate with and answered all my questions quickly. The bike tour itself was great. We rented E- bikes and they were excellent almost new mountain bikes with great gears and power!! Could handle anything!! We hardly ever had to pedal on National roads but rather were routed on mud paths, cobblestone roads, wooden walkways and many many earth roads. It was fabulous winding our way through the countryside and staying off most tarmac roads. A bit challenging at times to find our way, but it was a great adventure.

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal

This 13 day tour from Porto to Lisbon took us through rural villages, forests, farmland and quaint countryside as well as absolutely incredible coastal views. Stopping along the way at little local cafes for lunch was one of my favorite parts of the day. Between the scenery, the food, the routes, the wine and the bikes, it was one of the best European tours we have experienced. Sergio and his staff were excellent in taking care of every detail to ensure our trip was amazing, and it was.

Portugal’s Vicentine Coast & Algarve
Portugal

My husband and I are in our late 60s/early 70s. We selected the Vicentine Coast & Algarve trip (self-guided) to celebrate our early May 30th wedding anniversary. It was our first visit to Portugal, first tour with Tripsite, and first time riding e-bikes. Our expectations were exceeded in every aspect of this trip! The route was spectacular and almost exclusively off of busy roads. We rode mostly on pavement or dirt farm roads, with occasional gravelly/sandy paths. I found the paths to be challenging in some locations and chose to walk, affording more time to enjoy the delightful views and fragrances of the region. Our accommodations and food options were terrific and varied. We only needed to contact Tripsite a few times during our stay, and each time Sergio was very responsive. We added extra days in Lisbon on both ends of the bike-touring and were so happy we did. And one more thing, early May is an excellent time to visit this part of the world - sunny and in the 70s, fresh ocean breezes, and not too crowded. All around, an excellent adventure.

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal

Great bike tour! Sergio at Top Tours Portugal did a really solid job with the bike rentals, route and shuttles! Fantastic views, accommodations and food! Fun riding with a varied and well-planned route. We were ready for another week after 11 days of riding!

Camino de Santiago E-Bike Tour
Portugal, Spain

I think everyone else's review of the trip cover it well. Unbelievable postcard views every 100 meters.
I would however, really really suggest bringing a GoPro with a chest harness. So many things to take videos and pictures of and GoPro will do this with voice commands. I could kick myself for forgetting my GoPro. "GoPro start recording", "GoPro stop recording", "GoPro take a picture". Instead I would have to reach in whatever pocket and take an iPhone picture/video with one hand.
I am planning on signing up for their Fisherman's Trail in October.
Joao Natale was very cool guide. Busted his butt to make things happen. Got us a ferry across the river from Portugal to Spain as a special surprise.

Camino de Santiago E-Bike Tour
Portugal, Spain

We had a fabulous trip on the Camino de Santiago with Tripsite. We had a small group, a fantastic guide, Joao, brand new e-bikes and the hotels were 5 Star or better. Terrain was mixed. Paved roads, cobblestones, gravel, sand, boardwalks and some washed out areas we had to navigate around. All in all, can’t say enough about Tripsite and their partner in Portugal TopBikeTours. We are already looking to do another European guided e-bike tour. Thx a million!

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal

This was one of the BEST trips I have ever taken. The routes were amazing, very few buy roads. The views were breathtaking. Accommodations were very nice.
Sergio and his team were very responsive and always helpful.
Well organized!
Good job tripsite!

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal

Just finished up a fantastic 11 day self-guided tour from Porto to Lisbon. Sergio was super supportive to ensure that we had an awesome trip. We loved the variety of scenery and road types. Portugal is wonderful with all their well maintained bike paths, and lovely little paths through the country side--some more wild and unexpected. The route was so much fun with lots of variety, and very little riding on or near the national roads. We loved riding through the old villages, and then amazing riding along the most scenic coast line! The accommodations were all superb! We have done several self-guided tours in southern Europe and this was definitely one of our favorites! Did i mention the wonderful food and wine!

Portugal’s Vicentine Coast & Algarve
Portugal

The most memorable part of our trip were our 3 hr lunchs and the amazing people we met along the way! The hotel accomodations were also top notch, hard to pick a favorite but if I had choose Herdade Do Touril in Zambujeira do Mar and Casa Fajara in Carrapeteira were quaint and secluded and the staff were top notch! The breakfast at each of the hotels were fantastic, much more than we had expected. The Top Bike Tours Portugal did a great job with the bikes, gps and roadside assist for a flat tire. Definitely plan to get lost along the trail at some point but honestly getting lost just added more fun to the journey. I would suggest that the leader and the biker at the end of the group use mirrors... to keep track of everyone and at the end of the group to watch for traffic. This was our groups first bike trip and we all thoughly enjoyed it! We really enjoyed being on our own schedule, unlike other tour company's that schedule events and meals we appreciated being able to come and go as we pleased and ate meals at small local restaurants which was really enjoyable. We have shared Tripsite with many travelers along the way and can't wait to book our next trip!!

The scenery was spectacular, on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic...words and photos just can't do it justice. All the of the accommodations were excellent and the equipment provide by Sergio and team was of the highest quality. If you enjoy breathing taking views and unlimited sunshine then this is the tour for you!!!

Portugal’s Vicentine Coast & Algarve
Portugal

This was a truly exceptional trip! The most memorable part was the scenery. The route included many different terrains, some quite challenging, and I was very thankful for the e bike. The rider should have some experience with trail riding and be prepared to encounter some steep ascents and descents on gravel roads. The accommodations were so lovely. I would highly recommend this trip.

Paradise in Portugal
Portugal

The entire trip was memorable! The staff at the farm made us feel at home, with a wonderful gift of hospitality, beautiful surroundings, excellent food, rooms with everything we needed. The wine of the area is so good, the restaurant recommendations spot on. Riding through the area was amazing. Guides took time to be sure our bikes fit well, explained the day, and we're so informative about the area and history. The tours were each very well done and enjoyable.
There are definitely hills, and I was grateful for an ebike - it made all the difference for me. Highly recommend this trip!

North Portugal
Portugal

A very good trip, fun and varied cycling routes, the best rental bikes we have had during many cycling trips, the guide for the walking tour of Porto and the drive to Melgaco absolutely fantastic. Portugal and the people in the country are wonderful. accommodation in all places very good

what we thought was the most fun was how varied the cycle path is and how fun it is to cycle on forest paths not just on asphalt

beautiful views, lovely beaches, great surf and beautiful countryside

Douro Valley Wine & E-Bike Tour
Portugal

The views from hilltops, through patches of red poppies, looking down, down to row upon row of vineyards under cultivation.
E-bikes are a must.
In April be prepared for COLD weather at the high elevations.
Taxi ride shortened the first day (70 km) and made every day a wonderful adventure.

Bikes were great. The tour group was accommodating in all our requirements. Hotels booked were very nice. Tour operator checked on us daily to see how it was going. I would be pleased to recommend this tour to others.

Silver Coast of Portugal
Portugal

We are just finishing our trip in Coimbra and wanted to put in a review while the trip is still fresh. From the airport pickup to the briefing and all through the tour John and Sergio demonstrated that they really did care that we had a great time - and we did. The hotels they selected for us are top notch and the bike route gave us easy riding and great views of Portugal’s Silver Coast. The bikes were in top shape and performed well. Our second visit to Portugal and there will be more, the people are friendly and the country so wonderful.
