Had Marc Gomes as guide, along with another Britt we headed out for a four hour ride. The riding was superb - lovely smooth roads and very quiet - Marc was a great guide very informative and great at encouraging me to carry on to the top! 1390m of ascent we were greeted with the usual cloud and howling wind but a great sense of achievement!

A great day out and looking forward to another trip with Marc next week!

We wanted to hire bikes for our 7 day holiday in Albufeira. Algarve Bike Holidays were the first to respond, and provided us with 2 excellent bikes and a full complement of kit (inner tubes, tools etc) that not all bike hire companies provide!
The staff (Angela McQueen & colleagues) were polite, helpful and made the experience extremely professional.
We took part in a guided ride with Marc Gomes (altebike@gmail.com) and enjoyed a fantastic, challenging day on the bike. We were looked after the entire time, but had a freedom to enjoy the scenery and the route. Thank you Marc!!

If you’re new to cycling in the Algarve, go to this company, and take advantage of their first class service. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent day out. This was our first experience of a guided ride in the Algarve. Marc our guide was able to show us lots of hidden countryside and trails as well as a welcome cafe for coffee and pastry en-route.

Would definitely recommend this company and plan to use them again for another ride when we visit next year.

We rented bikes in low season ( which was last beginning of November), and everything went great. We booked 2 roadbikes a week before which were ready when we arrived. The bikes were very good to travel 5 days. We went up the Monchique through little villages and we didn't have any problems with any of our bikes. We rented some bicycle-bags which were high quality to prevent our stuff from dirt and rain, but (long live Portugal) there was not any rain.
Although we paid more using two bikes to travel the Algarve (i Think 5 days 170 euro something with te bags), than using a car (without gas), i think it's worth while to travel by bike through the landscape and little villages. It is absolutely lovely! The roads are not really good, but it is doable.
Just remember the Monchique is a hard way up ;).
Thank You to Fred and the lovely woman, who also took care of our things meanwhile we were bicycling a few days. The Belgian, and the Dutch one. :) Barrie en Inès
