This is what customers say about this tour
82 rate this tour with 4.6 starsVery beautiful bike ride through nature.
A very pleasant, easy bike ride. We really enjoyed it.
It was great that we could still use the bikes after the tour.
The tour was fine, but we would have liked it if a part of the old city or harbor had been included. There was certainly room and time for that. Kind regards ***
A very nice bike route with the guide, who knew a lot about the nature reserve. We had coffee along the way and were proudly shown the beach house that belonged to the guide. This bike tour is highly recommended.
Beautiful area with good explanations from the guide.
Super fun and you see a different side of Faro
