We chose the Costs & Hills package with Algarve Bike Tour for our first overseas cycling travel in April 2018. Weather was perfect to cycle. A little cold in the morning, but almost sunny everyday (2hours of rain in total).

We greatly appreciated our experience and service with this assisted package. From the beginning to the end of the trip, Fred was our contact point. When we wrote to him after day 2 because I had a mechanical issue with the bike I rented from them, he did not hesitate to pick the bike at the end of the day and gave it to me back fixed the next morning.

All the hotels we stayed at were perfectly located in the main areas. All clean and very welcoming for cyclists.

We consider ourselves as average experience cyclists. Roads predefined by the company were just enough difficult/fun for a day trip, but spinning and home trainer all winter long were mandatory to be real prepared. The whole experience is well balanced, with a very nice break after Day 3 before the challenging climbing Day 4. Also, the most challenging parts of the routes are in the first half of the day, so you can enjoy the downhill at the end. Because most of the routes are in rural areas, we highly suggest to be enough proficient with general bike mechanic in case of any issues.

We strongly recommand Algarve Bike Tour for the great service we had. Even before arriving, they were fast to answer our multiple questions. They were always on time for the various transfers and our luggages were arrived before us at different the hotels.

A challenging experience for cycling lovers seaking to push their limits!

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!
