Port
wine fans, it's here. You asked and we're delivering, our
newest route beginning in the hard working city of Porto, or Oporto,
as it's known in some circles. Join us this year as we wind our
way through the verdant valley of the Rio Douro (river of gold),
making our way by river boat, train, and of course, bicycle! Each
day holds a charming new pathway with vistas over the Douro river,
best known for its more than 2,000 years of wine producing, and
more exclusively, the popular Port Wine. You'll taste your share
as we sample our way through this verdant region, visiting farms
and producers who'll offer their insight into this very distinctly
Portuguese tradition. Historically speaking, between the old Roman
port of Portus on one side of the Douro, and the early Lusitanian
territory known as Cale, on the other, Portus-Cale was formed, only
to be later christened as Portugal, after the reconquests by the
new kingdom. Today this region is steeped in layers of timeless
tradition and legend. From the trendy restaurants in Porto, to the
hidden villages and remote vineyards, lining the folds of the man-made
terraces of these ancient lands , you'll get an up-close, hands
on experience like never before. Blue Coast Bikes Tours wants you
to become a part of the legend, join us as we explore the Ports
of Tradition!

"I loved our trip. It was very adventurous.
We got to experience biking in many cities and see a variety
of breathtaking views, while smelling the flowers &
birds & butterflies all around us. The coast had beautiful
blue water & white sand; the castles are on top of
hills with lush green below us and we also saw a lot of
vineyards.”
