Great Tour from Porto to Ovar - A very enjoyable ride with Leonel along the coast, through pine forests and taking in tranquil largely car free cycle ways. Very knowledgeable and friendly, with good quality bikes making for a unique trip. Train from Ovar back to Porto was quick and easy. I would highly recommend both the route and Leonel as a guide.

Personal and friendly active tour of beautiful small villages and cities along the coastline - Leonel gave an authentic local experience sharing his knowledge of the area. Lots of interesting insights into the local culture and history
Leonel made it such a positive experience for my daughter and I.

Great ride out of Porto - A great cycle ride that Leonel went out of his way to make happen. We had a personal tour guide , Tony , who led us on fantastic ride out of Porto down the coast. Views were spectacular and we enjoyed our chat with Tony along the way, including a stop at his local cafe. Would highly recommend for friendliness and scenery .

Seaside Portugal - Absolutely wonderful experience. We were so fortunate to have Leonel as our guide. Loved seeing the beautiful Atlantic Coast on wheels. We were out of the tourist areas. Would have never seen these beautiful seaside towns😉.

Very much recommended when you need a break from tourists and crowds - This was a great way to miss the crowds in Porto and Gaia and see the coastal scenery. Easy biking along the river through Gaia to bike pathways along the coast. We had later commitments so skipped cycling through Porto who was very busy with tourists anyway.
Marta was engaging and informative. We had a great fish lunch along the coast and then found a good pastry shop.
Easy cycling on well maintained bike.

Great ride with a friend - Almost a private tour given by Marta and two of her friends, Tony and Sofia. It was only my friend and I. I hadn’t biked in over 20 years and the ride was easy, only a couple of hills in Porto. The tour is customizable to what you want to do and when you want to stop. Great explanations by Marta and her friends for the sites visited. They we all very friendly. The coast was amazing. However, we spent too much time in Porto and didn’t have time to go all the way to the end in Ovar, so we didn’t see the forest. The bikes were new and comfortable. I highly recommend, much better than city tours with big groups.

See Porto and surrounds - Marta and Lionel offer on bicycles a welcomed alternative to the inner city of Porto as one peddles south from Porto along the Atlantic coast towards Ovar.
Well maintained boardwalks and small roads along the coast offer a smooth ride as you chat with Marta about Portuguese life past and present . Both share their experiences and knowledge with insight and we delighted in their candor . They stop whenever you want and still
manage to get you to your destination on time . We highly encourage you make this a priority when you visit Porto . Bon Voyage!

Breathtaking views from Porto to Ovar - The views were breathtaking, I did not expect Portugal's coastline to be so spectacular and so diverse in scenery. The tour followed the coast, so we enjoyed the ocean throughout, but the unexpected forest at the end blew me away. The bikes are very comfortable, there were some strategically-placed stops for the best views and I had the huge privilege of doing this tour alone because the other participants cancelled last minute and Marta & Lionel are too nice, so they did the tour for me only. I am incredibly grateful and so happy to have met them. The train ride back was so quick and boring in comparison.
