In the Algarve cycling tours are a great way to get off the beaten track and explore the region's diverse landscapes and take in some beautiful views and sights.
We offer Algarve cycle tours for both occasional cyclists who want a leisurely, reasonable flat ride and more demanding, longer tours for regular cyclists who are up for tackling a few hills. Depending upon your preferences, you could cover anything from 20-35km on a cycle tour (2-4 hours of cycling), you can go at your own pace and will have plenty of time to stop off along the way, take photos, enjoy some sightseeing or just refuel with a leisurely lunch. On the tours you'll be accompanied by an experienced guide who knows all the best back roads and tracks and points of interest.
You can bring your own bike or we can arrange mountain bike and helmet hire.
