Enhancing your European experience
With all the cultural nuances reflecting it's exuberant history, Portugal is one European gem still waiting to be fully uncovered.

This country has something for everyone, and has that timeless effect of making explorers of us all. Whether you're into the quiet, narrow streets of the white stucco medieval villages that seem to glow in the day's fading sunsets, or the trendy bistros of the big city, Portugal has a world to uncover, and Blue Coast Bikes will help you reveal it.

What to Expect:
Our prices reflect the value and quality you will get on a Blue Coast Bikes bicycle tour. On a typical day (we use that term lightly), you can plan on spending three to five hours, depending on stops in villages and points of interest, riding your TREK bicycle along sunny coastal lanes and pathways, or through shady cork forests and Alentejan fields of poppies. The riding is casual with the occasional challenge to invigorate the spirit. We focus on the culture for our tours, rather than racing through the countryside in a competitive race. We'll stop in our destination towns, each picked for their traditional flavors and colorful cuisine, as well as picturesque surroundings. After lunchtime, you'll have time to browse the local scene or just take it all in over a glass of sparkling green wine and fresh pastry. Each night (guided tours) the entire group will get together at one of our favorite restaurants in each area, and celebrate the day with a festive group dinner, with all the trimmings. Our accommodations are more than a small part of the experience. We use a luxury hotel in Sesimbra, with views over the Atlantic, as well as our feature 'lodgings' of 4-5 star Portuguese Pousadas, consisting of castles and palaces or manor homes, restored to a contemporary lustre. We also like to mix in the rural, and more personal side of the Portuguese culture by utilizing some of the charming country villas along the Costa Azul. Our friends will open their homes so you can feel welcome throughout your entire trip. You will feel at home here in Portugal, as we try each time to offer a trip you won't soon forget.
