In September I was cycling along the coast from Seisimbra to Odeceixe. We were 24 norwegians,including Sverre from Olivenreiser, and 3 guides from Turaventur. Teresa, Luis , Andre and Sverre did a very good job, helpful and friendly. Could not be better ! I say a personal thank you to Teresa who had to work extra because I was so... More

A top tour! We cycled from white washed villages to amazing historic towns down quiet roads surrounded by olive groves. The self guided 1 week option option was efficiently organised with bookings, luggage transfer, maps advice and back up. Teresa and her team were friendly and helpful. The hotels (option B) were pousadas (converted historic buildings) and beyond imagination. The... More

I took the Castle and Wine self guided tour with Turaventur in September 2012. It was an enjoyable 6 day ride. Teresa met us on the first night for orientation and discussed the trip, maps, and bikes. She was very friendly and answered all our questions. The bikes were great for the terrain. They were in great working conditions. They... More

Hi Chris! Thank you so much for your very nice words. You'll be happy to know we are working on this bags you suggested, as several of our clients can't resist to buy wine, cheese and local crafts and face the same problem! So, if you come and do our castles tour, i hope i'll supply you a bike with... More

My friend and I did the one-day megaliths bike tour in September 2012. We came home to the hotel dirty and exhausted but it was a great day and will be a highlight of our trip. We really liked the country scenery! Our guide did the right amount of explaining things - enough for you to learn but not too... More

When you recommend the tour to your friends, tell them to inflorm us of their level of fitness,because we have easier tours and even the megalithic tour can be adapted to different levels. Of course this is not as easy to do... More

Spent our first night in Portugal in Evora. We had a GPS but could not locate the farm based on address (probably outdated maps) but found it easily using GPS coordinates. Farmhouse was traditional, very beautiful and the surroundings rustic making it very quiet and peaceful. Farm is located conveniently close to town allowing easy access. Breakfast was basic but...

Turaventur's Castles and Wine tour of the Alentejo region was wonderful. Weather could have been better but we managed to dodge any serious rain. We spent our time mainly riding and visiting local eateries. I really enjoyed the pastoral landscape and cruising roads less travelled by automobiles. We enjoyed long evenings taken up with good-to-excellent food and wine, mostly at... More

Expectations were high after a nice evening at a restaurant in Sesimbra and the first night with a great room and view at a modern art deco hotel. The days went fast, biking on... More

Turaventur's Castles and Wine Tour was a time trip back to medieval castles( one or two will be your lodging for the night) and Stonehenge- like rock in rural fields, some dating back 5,000 to 7,000 years. But along the way you will be snapped back to the present day - a workingman's lunch in a small village, joining a... More
