Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We only had time for a few hour tour and it was fantastic. We did the easy route as my partner isn’t a biker.
Great scenery, great pace to experience the surroundings, great way to spend a couple of hours in a new sourroundings. Highly recommend mark and his team.

Algarve Bike Tours provided our party of 4 adults with an excellent well organised 3 day cycle which we thoroughly enjoyed. We requested for our bikes to be delivered to our hotel the night before our cycle so that we could get an early start on the road the next morning ahead of the serious heat of the day. The complimentary jerseys were lovely. What a great way to see so much of the Algarve that you would never see by car or bus. Fantastic to cycle through so many varieties of fruit trees, pine trees, the salt flats and of course to see the mud crabs on our last day. Day 3 was a flat 30k along the coast and in through the salt flats but the heat heading for close to 40C was a lot to take so we were glad to reach Olhao by noon. The accommodations were all top class with great food and very helpful staff and nice pools to relax in.
Thank you to our driver who was waiting for us in arrivals at Faro and to our driver who took us back at the end. And a very big thank you to Angus who was very thorough and helpful with the bikes & equipment and who transported our luggage from hotel to hotel.
Ours was a self guided tour and the garmins supplied were perfect. 2 of our party hired the Ebikes which were great and ideal for any inexperienced cyclists. An excellent well organised holiday.

We decided to book a guided bike ride and ABT offered a range of half day tours. Communication was excellent and payment wasn't required until the morning of the tour. We were given the opportunity to test the bikes and change machine if necessary. Our guide was Mark (Marco) who grew up in UK and was friendly and an experienced rider. He went at our pace and was very safety conscious throughout. The route was mainly quiet roads with some dirt tracks and boardwalks in lovely countryside (past Cliff Richard's vineyard and home) over 17 miles. A great time had.

Right from the initial contact with Algarve Bike Holidays, everything has gone like clockwork. No request, large small or unusual has proved too much trouble for this company and responses to any questions have been virtually immediate. Paul and Fred couldn't have been more helpful.
The bikes, equipment supplied, gpx files and route guidance and recommendations were all excellent. Similarly our overnight accommodation.
I would like to thank Angus for getting everything set up at the start at Cabo Espichel and also providing a very thorough pre-ride briefing.
The six days cycling was superb, the coastline spectacular, stunning scenery and just being able to almost step back in time to the real Portugal.
A special mention to Willem who collected us at the end of our ride at Cabo de Sao Vicente/Sagres and whose unexpected assistance was invaluable! He'll know exactly what I mean!
I have now used Algarve Bike Holidays three times, twice for day excursions and now for the Rota Vicentina. I think that says it all. I can only whole heartedly recommend them, you won't be disappointed. This is a company that really does "cycle" the extra mile to ensure you have a fantastic experience. Increasingly something of a rarity these days.
Thank you. I'll/we'll be back.

Fabulous bike tour through the countryside of the Algarve. Marco was an outstanding guide who took us along quiet traffic free roads as we explored the coast and small villages. Of course, our stop for coffee and pastry along the way was welcome.
Marco delivered the bikes to us at our hotel, along with nice waterbottles and helmets. The bikes were in great condition and a pleasure to ride.
Highly recommeneded. Hope we can find time to return for some longer bike journeys

Found this gem bike tour company on line. Booked over the phone as I had lots of questions. 5 day tour is 3 full days of cycling + 2 days of transfers.
Well organized. Good quality hotels. Fairly clear instructions for the self guided tours. Helpful staff (had to order an e-bike on day 2 after my spouse hurt his knee).
3 day algarve bike trip option doable on regular bike for non pro biking 50 year olds who are in shape.
Definitely would rebook with them again.

Top quality bikes, hotels, communication, transfers. We'll be back! From the earliest communications with Angie, to the final drop-off in Loule, this company was great to deal with. The route matched our bikes and tires. Lots of cobblestones, dirt roads, and secondary paved roads. The GPS was necessary, and it was well loaded with the intricacies of the route. We chose to carry our own luggage by packing lightly. All in all, a memorable trip, perfect weather, and a fine bunch of people @ Algarve Bike Holidays!

What a fantastic experience we have had with this company so far. We have just completed our second guided tour and have also enjoyed the Sunday social outings. Special thanks and well earned kudos to Marco who knows the area so well and is eager to share the best of the it with even the most novice of cyclists while keeping the more competent group members happy with some off road challenges. Cannot praise these guys enough!
