The Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost gem, offers an unmatched blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and thrilling cycling experiences.

This region is defined by its diversity, from the tranquil lagoons of Ria Formosa to the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves along its rugged coastline.

Your days will be filled with wonder as you pedal through cork-oak forests, along spellbinding coastlines, leading you to discover the “Pego do Inferno,” the Algarve’s most charming waterfall. The Algarve’s inland roads wind through citrus orchards and rolling hills, while coastal routes offer panoramic ocean views and access to landmarks like Ponta da Piedade and Cape St. Vicente.

Beyond the scenery, the Algarve invites you to connect with its culture. You’ll find welcoming villages where time seems to stand still, offering a glimpse into Portugal’s traditions through local architecture, cuisine, and craftsmanship.

Designed for independent travelers, this cycling adventure combines the freedom to explore at your pace with the assurance of expert planning and support.

With handpicked accommodations, a personalized itinerary and GPS routes, the Algarve promises an experience that’s as seamless as it is unforgettable.

I recently completed the Tour of Champions ride which is a 7-day road cycling tour in Slovenia. The entire experience was fantastic. The cycling in Slovenia is amazing. The roads were great and the scenery on each ride was spectacular. Our guide, Blaz, was fantastic. He planned routes throughout Slovenia and some parts of Italy that were amazing. The routes on each day included some amazing climbs which were challenging, to say the least, but after they were done there was an excitement among everyone in the group about completing the climbs. The routes also included some amazing flats where we were cruising along in a nice pace line. Blaz was also a great person. He was supportive of everyone in the group, and he was so encouraging and attentive to everyone. His attention to detail was admirable. The crew was also great in the support van. The hotels, the meals, and especially the bike that I rented was fantastic. It was a top-of-the-line bike which was equivalent to my bike at home. The accommodations were superb and the selection of restaurants for dinner each night were great. Tina, who I dealt with when it came to organizing the trip was great. She was very accessible, and she answered all the questions I had when organizing the trip for my wife and a friend of mine. Tina also helped me organize some kiteboarding in Croatia after the cycling trip which was outside the scope of her business model which was above and beyond. By the way the kiteboarding in Croatia was fantastic! The group was small with a total of 5 riders not including the guide. If anyone is interested in challenging themselves on a road cycling trip, I would strongly recommend this trip.

My self-guided Bergen Bike Tour was an amazing experience. The route took me through some of Norway's most beautiful landscapes, like the Sognefford and the charming village of Solvorn. Cycling along the Gaularfjellet National Tourist Route with its stunning waterfalls and glaciers was both a challenge and a highlight. The GPS navigation made it easy to follow the route, and I loved having the freedom to explore at my own pace. The team at Bike Tours Norway was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Timotej was especially great-he answered all my questions and made sure everything ran smoothly. The accommodations were cozy, and the luggage transfers made the whole trip stress-free. This tour was the perfect mix of adventure and independence, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see Norway's stunning nature up close.
