Testimonials

“The most amazing way to see and experience the true Portugal!
Cycling each day allowed us to slowly take in this beautiful and amazing region (Porto & Douro Valley), see parts of the area rarely visited by tourists and to learn about the history and traditions of Portugal. I would HIGHLY recommend Blue Coast Bikes to anyone wishing to cycle in Portugal…or if you are travelling to Portugal would recommend this company to everyone wanting a unique travel experience.”
Susan Jack, Ontario, Canada

“It was really a fantastic tour. You were all terrific. Friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, helpful, beautiful rides, great hotels, and the boat ride and super local food. All were top notch. You were just as good as or better than the big-name companies”
Ed David & Susan Strauss – New York, USA

“Wonderful trip. Beautiful, scenic rides through the hills & by the bay. I love the food & the wines. Tour guides were excellent, from knowing the history to understanding the terrain.”
Brett Kornblatt – Illinois, USA

“Wonderful! Perfect for our level of experience – Right amount of cycling & introduction to local area…A great ride, and great guides. Very informative and some spectacular views! Highly recommended!”
Michelle & Doug Scheiner – New York, USA

“I loved our trip. It was very adventurous. We got to experience biking in many cities and see a variety of breath taking 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. We saw a lot of vineyards. Biking is the best way to visit Portugal. A must for anyone who can bike The fact that we get a cell phone & there is always someone available who arrives in less than half an hour is very convenient (plus) we could have our own pace.”
Laleh Haghshenass – New York, USA

“Andrea and I are still jet lagged and reeling from the intensity of our (honeymoon) trip. It was wonderful and there could not have been a better way to start it than doing a bike trip with blue coast. By the way, after the trip with Blue Coast Andrea was bragging about what a bargain
it was for such an awesome experience. Thanks again for giving us such a great trip.”
Aaron & Andrea Garland – Virginia, USA

“From the first communication on the website I felt that your company was efficient, prompt, believable and honest – But most of all -a friendly attitude could be denoted even by email. You made the whole process very easy from a long distance away. Once we finally arrived in Lisbon, the communication was very reassuring.
For the tour – maybe it’s the mother in me, but the two of you were so adorable to be with, informative and very well informed. I loved the (tour) and would recommend your services with pleasure if ever needed. Thank you.”
Margie & Fred Greenberg – Pennsylvania, USA

“Hello! Berlin was amazing, but we definitely had more fun in Lisbon (Portugal). The weather was a lot nicer, and the city and scenery is so much more appealing! The castle was awesome & so were the beaches. This was definitely a great experience & adventure. Thanks for everything! We had such a great time thanks to you!”
