We had a great day with Vasco on a day trip up to mount Foie and Monchique. Very informative and a nice way to see the countryside.

I had done a previous ride with back in 2013 and enjoyed it, so booked this bike tour again for myself and 3 mates for a full day at a cost was 55 euro per person
We arrived just before 9.30am to and got sorted with helmet etc. the bikes were in very good condition and well maintained and everything including safety was clearly explained.
We were transported by taxi & the bikes were separately transported to top of Mount Foia about 45 minutes at the top, there is a cafe so you can get a coffee or cold drink before you set off, but your also supplied with plenty water on the route.
The route down is a good mixture of dirt tracks and roads (never busy roads) and through some nice countryside and small towns and the guide stopped regularly to explain point about the area (cork harvesting etc), we stopped at a small village for lunch and was served fresh orange, a salad and a traditional Portuguese stew which was tasty, but if you have any fussy eaters better to pack a sandwich!
Overall a great day and very enjoyable excursion and would definitely do it again.

We did the ride down from Foia. It was very enjoyable with an excellent guide. It wasn’t too strenuous, even in 30 degree heat, and they provided plenty of water from the support vehicle. A great way to see the Algarve countryside.

So much fun to do, and the guides were exemplary, keeping the group together, helping the whole way along and the value for money for what you got was amazing. Couldn't be happier with the experience.

Since there were six of us we knew we would need some activities to keep us occupied and came across the Mount Foia Downhill Cycle Tour. What can I say other than a very well organised, fun and very friendly trip. Just the right amount of work and rest for everyone to really enjoy it. It's taken me a month to write this review so I've forgotten the two guides names (sorry), but they were absolutely first class, very informative regarding their surroundings, and happy and friendly. Thoroughly recommend this
