The Porto (Optional) and Atlantic Coast Tour allows you to get to know the dynamic and versatile Porto, touring the city's historical monuments by bike and also changing the landscape with the route along the Atlantic coast, leaving the frenzy of the city for the calm of nature, culminating in a pine forest with wild beaches. A true sensory experience for the whole family.

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😉.

Fantastic day bike trip! Beautiful ride along the coast traveling on flat terrain on nice bike trail with a jaunt through a pine forest. Perfect snack break at local beach cafe midday on the trip.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Amazing tour! Marta & Lionel were super friendly and fun. Lionel was very knowledgeable and showed us all the best sights in the city.
The bikes were very comfortable and everything ran smoothly. We cycled along gorgeous coastline and stopped for coffee and a sandwich in a lovely bar along the promenade. The cycle through the forest at the end was gorgeous. Marta kindly dropped us to the train station in Ovar afterwards.
Thanks Marta & Lionel

We had a great time on this tour. We started in the city and visited a few places, then headed down to the Ribeira, then crossed the famous bridge and rode on Gaia quayside, the port cellars side. We passed by charming fishing towns and gorgeous beaches, across marshes and through a pine forest. Most of the ride is on designated bike lanes, is mainly flat and the wind is at your back. A thoroughly enjoyable ride and the tour guide is extremely friendly and helpful. He even drove us up the station in Ovar, where we took our train back to Porto. It is a good, long ride which mixes the city and the coast and the bikes were in great condition and very comfortable.
