Perfect pace for a mature mixed group. Emphasis was on seeing the sights, wildlife and terrain. Welcome refreshment stop scheduled in as well. Bikes looked a bit ordinary for sports cyclists but were perfect for the Ria Formosa route. We chose electric to make it easy for everyone, even a friend who hasn't biked in months.

It was nice that we were still allowed to 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.
