An Unforgettable Cycling Adventure in Alentejo

5.00This has been one of my most memorable holidays! I joined a 5-day cycling tour through the stunning Alentejo region of Portugal, and it exceeded all expectations. A huge thank you to Nibs, Jackie, and Mauro for organizing such a seamless and well-planned trip. The food was incredible, the countryside was beautifully clean and peaceful, and Nibs’ vast knowledge of the history and culture of every place we visited made the experience truly special. The accommodation was far better than I imagined, comfortable, charming, and perfectly located. Thank you again for an unforgettable adventure. I’ll definitely be back with my children and grandchildren in the not-too-distant future!
Best way to explore the Lisbon coast

5.00Thank you Nibs and Jackie for an outstanding cycle tour . We were a group of 10 riders from SA that toured through the villages of Portugal for 5 days , started in Evora. Nibs knows so much of the history of Portugal and Jax spoiled us with waterpoints and snacks all the way. They are excellent hosts and a great team! We can recommend this tour to anyone who likes a personal touch , new friendships and a stunning experience. We will do this again anyday!! Hannes and Wilma from the Portugal Nuts Team in SA.

5.00Had a wonderful day cruising along the coast of Lisbon. Got to see many historical sites including a very secluded royal palace garden. Stopped for an amazing Portuguese lunch with delicious wine. The best part of the tour is getting to spend the day with the very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides Nibs and Jackie. Would highly recommended this tour while visiting Lisbon.

5.00Nibs and Jackie were absolutely wonderful! We were stressed as we were running a few minutes late due to traffic, but were met with big, warm, welcoming smiles! They stopped us at all of the “must see” monuments, parks, etc. and were well informed on the history of each. We had a delicious traditional Portuguese lunch in a quaint park off the coast. After lunch, Nibs surprised my sister-in-law with a delicious chocolate cake from a local spot to celebrate her birthday! It was just the sweetest gesture and was so thoughtful! We ended the day in peaceful historic park with vibrant flowers. It was a beautiful day and Nibs and Jackie’s hospitality made this a top tier excursion! The customized video of all our spots was an added bonus! A must-do if visiting Lisbon! Thank y’all again for such a fantastic day! We will be sporting our new gear all the way in North Carolina!
Go for it - it's great fun!

5.00We had a great day with Nibs, leasurely cycling along the beautiful coastline of the Tagus River, enjoying the touristic landmarks on the way and Nibs splendid historical knowledge about them! Although we had travelled this coastline before, riding on a bicycle offers you quite a new perspective. And everybody who knows how to ride a bicycle is able to enjoy this trip! It is very easy-going on mostly flat-out cycling paths, the bicycles are comfy and Nibs is the best and most warm-hearted guide you can wish for. Generally we don’t enjoy eating big lunches, so Nibs took us to his favorite café/pastelaria in Paco de Arcos instead, where we enjoyed freshly squeezed orange juice, galao, pastel de nata and a giant sandwich (so much for “we don’t enjoy big lunches”;-)). If you are interested in music you are in for a special treat chatting with Nibs about…well, all types of music! Conclusion: go for it – it’s great fun!
