Add your own reviewCycling Porto to Lisbon
We had a wonderful group of 16 riders led by our excellent guide Dinis, assisted by Philippe and our driver Tomas. All three worked very well together and provided excellent service and support to we 16 riders.
Most Inspirational Moment
Completing a challenging hill ride on the last day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dinis did an excellent job.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure when offered you sign up for the lunch package where you contribute towards a common Kitty and the staff purchase and prepare some of the meals and pay for other meals in restaurants that they've chosen for you. It's well worth it!
Great trip
This was our first cycling trip with Exodus and it was excellent. The trip was well-organized and everything from the guiding (with head guide Dinis accompanied with Tomas and Philippe), cycling, food and accommodation was great. We rented e-bikes which I would recommend for inexperienced cyclists given some of the hills involved. Apart from a couple of minor planning glitches which Dinis quickly resolved, the tour was advertised. We usually ate together as a group of 16 and bonded quickly. Weather was perfect for early September apart from a bit of drizzle and some wind on a day or two.
Most Inspirational Moment
Experiencing Portugal directly especially more rural, coastal areas.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dinis was a great group leader who communicated well and kept on top of things. We were well briefed daily on what to expect and Dinis suggestions for restaurants were all good.
Advice for Potential Travellers
WhatsApp was used to harmonize communications so it is worth familiarizing yourself with it.
Fantastic trip from Porto to Lisbon
This was our first trip with Exodus and will not be our last! This company is very organized down to every detail. The description of the itinerary is very accurate, the hotels very nice , the Trek bikes were great and each bike had a handlebar bag for phones, sunscreen, snacks etc.
Our leader João was superb and made each participant feel welcomed, and cared for no matter the skill level.
João stopped to show us things of interest along the way each day, giving us the history and facts of which we would not have learned if we had travelled on our own.
João did briefings each day, so we knew exactly what to expect and a debrief at end of each day with a well organized power-point presentation.
He helped with dinner suggestions and even made the reservations for us.
His enthusiasm and love of his job made it a very enjoyable experience.
Also, Ricardo who was our other Exodus support person was superb! He cycled at the end of the group providing encouragement and support! Ricardo was always smiling and always available for our needs as well. He was a fabulous back up for any individual who needed help. We cannot say enough about Ricardo and how he helped to make this such a great experience for us!
The third Exodus support person was Toni! He was so kind and thoughtful and made the most elaborate picnics for us. He drove the van and met us at various check points so we had access to our belongings if we needed anything. He had water to fill our water bottles and was available incase someone needed to have a van drive if they weren’t able to bike any portions of the day.
These 3 individuals made the trip so wonderful for us!
The itinerary is accurate in that the description of the steep hills toward the end of day 3 , really were steep! Also the long steep hills on day 6 were as described.
We used pedal bikes and managed fine, we are mid 60’s but we are runners and in good shape. The first two days were flat and very easy for any skill level. The steep hills on day three at end of day were challenging on a pedal bikes, despite our good fitness level. However, we would do pedal bikes again despite the steep hills, it gave us a sense of accomplishment! E-bikes are available to people to sign up for prior to the trip.
The views were stunning along the ocean.
We were so impressed by this company, their attention to detail , their efforts to decrease their carbon footprint and we highly recommend Exodus to anyone.
We are already looking at idea for our next Exodus trip !
Most Inspirational Moment
Beautiful views along the ocean
Thoughts on Group Leader
Group leader Joao was FANTASTIC
Advice for Potential Travellers
Read the itinerary in detail so that you know what to expect…. It is accurate
Great leader, great group, great trip
The Team of Joao, Ricardo and Tony provided great support on this trip. There were some beautiful coastal views, lovely boardwalk cycles through nature reserves and the excitement of short ferry rides across estuaries. With the exception of Porto, Lisbon and Obidos, the places we stayed overnight and where we had coffee stops felt like the ‘real’ Portugal as there were no other British tourists. Joao’s restaurant recommendations were very good – I had a week of delicious fish and seafood (meet and veggie options also available). The Pastel de Nata at the coffee stops and at some breakfasts were also delicious!
Most Inspirational Moment
The view of the sea and Obidos lagoon from our final coastal vantage point was stunning.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had high expectations for Joao who was our group leader as he had won Exodus Leader of the Year in 2024. He didn't disappoint. From the very beginning he instilled confidence and credibility. His briefings were very clear. He gave us insight into the local culture in an interesting way. He was aware of individuals' needs and addressed them. He had a great relationship with the group, a good sense of humour and really made the trip fun.Thank you Joao
Advice for Potential Travellers
The prevailing wind is from the north and should therefore be a tailwind. However, we had a headwind so some days the cycling was a bit more effort.
Superb Trip in the Portuguese sun
This was our 6th Exodus cycling trip. Portugal is a lovely country with very friendly people and excellent food and wine. Porto was great for 3 nights – have a Port tasting (included) and don’t miss the Station and Time Out Market for a wonderful lunch, take a boat ride on the Douro too. The ride starts flat and follows the coast south, lots of cycle ways, wonderful beaches, great lunches and very good hotels – the waves were huge so swimming is difficult but a splash is refreshing! The second part of the ride is more hilly and interesting venturing inland for a while before joining the coast again – again very good and safe cycle ways. The last day is the best in terms of views and terrain but it is quite tough (but OK for a 72 year old mountain biker). Then we arrived at Obidos the final riding destination – beautiful walled town. Our guide/leader Dinis was superb. The Portuguese people were friendly and really seem to like us Brits, coffees out of the main cities are excellent and about £1 as are the bottles of ‘Super Bock’ beer ( much more in Porto and Lisbon!). If you like fish you will eat well – the restaurant Salgáboca in Praia de Mira is excellent and not that expensive, not to be missed, and watch the beach fishermen landing their morning catch around 9.00am before you set off the next morning
Most Inspirational Moment
The view from the old Nazaré village and the historic village of Obidos was also memorable
Thoughts on Group Leader
Truly excellent leader, great briefings, happy nature, very safety conscious, backed up by a great team
Advice for Potential Travellers
This ride is easy for the first 2 1/2 days, then tougher for the next 2 1/2 days. The final day is the longest with the most steep hills

A beautiful cycling adventure in Portugal from Porto to Lisbon
This is one of the most beautiful bike tours I’ve ever done. The beauty of the landscapes, the bike course, and this, despite the rain of the last few days. Among other things, we experienced the general breakdown and encountered a significant subsidence of the road. But our guides, Dinis, Inês, and Filipe, were wonderful and always made our rides easier day after day. Everything was very well organized. The group meetings, the communication via WhatsApp, the photos shared by Filipe, the equipment provided (bike and handlebar bag) contributed to everything running perfectly. The choice of hotels and restaurants was perfect. The group was friendly and supportive, and I met some great people.
Most Inspirational Moment
The ocean views. The group's solidarity to overcome obstacles.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dinis Rodrigues : he was friendly and personable. He gave us clear instructions, guided us well, advised us on restaurant choices, and was always concerned about our well-being. Inês Monteiro who was an excellent assistant and had to take over and turned out to be a very good guide too. Finally, I would like to say a word about Filipe Ribeiro who was an efficient support in transporting luggage, preparing picnics and who also occasionally provided transport for cyclists to cross a bridge or climb hills.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The difficulty level of this tour is 2 out of 7. This is true for an e-bike. But with a regular bike, the difficulty level is higher due to some hills that you encounter especially from the 2nd day. Nevertheless, I recommend this tour to people who already ride a bike and who want to take a pleasant trip to visit the Atlantic coast of Portugal.
Lovely way to experience Portugal
Thank you Dinis, Ines and Philipe our guides and support for a great holiday. My friends and I decided to do this trip on e-bikes as we were a bit out of cycling practice to say the least. We found the e-bikes comfortable and they made getting up hills and covering ground really easy so we could concentrate on the fabulous landscapes we passed through. Half the week the weather was lovely.We encountered a May Day parade in one village and were invited us to join them but we had to press on to get to our next stop. We had too many impossible to resist pastries and Dinis guided us to some great restaurants. For those who love fish and seafood this trip is heaven. Good selection of hotels and great company, we were 16 with people from US, Canada and tbe UK. I’m trying to think of a highlight. Maybe the fish restaurant on the cliffs on the fourth night, but really so many fabulous views and interesting places and so diverse it’s hard to list them all. A few days of bad weather and the country wide power cut were quickly forgotten. All in all an unforgettable trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing storks nesting and the breathtaking waves on the Atlantic coast or was it watching my friend enjoy an extra large pastel de nata?
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dinis
Advice for Potential Travellers
Ok- it did rain and sometimes very hard and for several hours. We improvised with plastic bags in our shoes and under our bike helmets. So take a few.
Amazing adventure
I would definitely recommend this cycling adventure.
Most Inspirational Moment
The extraordinary coastline and breathtaking views around every corner of the beautiful Atlantic ride are priceless!
Thoughts on Group Leader
All the leaders were professional,thoughtful and caring .
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do this ride!
A memorable cycle and culinary adventure from Porto to Lisbon enjoying the beautiful cycle paths along the Atlantic Ocean and through the forests!
We arrived in Porto a few days before the tour to enjoy the ambience of the city before meeting up with our group on 13 April 2025 at the Neya Hotel on Sunday afternoon! From the start of the presentation of what to expect over the next 5 days of cycling to the 2 final group dinners, this was an exceptional tour with an exceptional team of tour guides and we had the most incredible time with our fantastic group of 16. Joào Colaco’s management of the rides, coffee breaks and lunch stops and post ride updates and what to expect the next day were perfect! I wanted to experience a cycle along the Atlantic coast enjoying the local cuisine and culture and this cycle checked all those boxes and then some! A surprising bonus was that the dinner recommendation for the 1st night was so good, we all opted in for the remaining dinner recommendations each evening as we could experience the most authentic local cuisine and unique locations in each of the towns!
Most Inspirational Moment
Final cycle from Sào Pedro de Moel via Nazare to Obidos! It was Good Friday and we arrived in Nazaré thoroughly soaked by the morning rain, but it was fine as we had our coffee break at Terrasse, where you can definitely find the best Pastel de Nata's in the country! After the coffee break we enjoyed the wonderful beach views before setting off to be dried by the wind and have a good lunch with a lake view before setting off for our last cycle to the medieval town of Óbidos.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Joâo Colaco was an incredible leader providing us with the right balance of information we needed for each day. Joâo Colaco's dinner recommendations made for a very good group experience and he led us on walking tours at the start and end of the trip with many stops en route sharing information on geography or produce, etc. He also shared tips on places to go to and restaurants to visit after our tour ended in Lisbon which made our overall Portugal experience one we are still raving about!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Half of our group were on ebikes and the other half on hybrids and it worked just fine as we had a very collaborative group of 16. I had the hybrid bicycle and needed the van transfer on day 4 of 5 for the last 20 km to be strong for the final day of 64 km. For level 2 and higher, I will take an eBike in the future as it will make it a more fun experience on the hills. Our guide at the back, Ricardo Ferreira was very patient and ensured we were on track with the front cyclists. Our awesome support driver, Filipe Ribeiro was always contributing in many different ways from loading luggage to having the van available at our stops if we wanted to grab anything from our backpacks! Thanks to Exodus for having local guides who share the love of their country with all of us!
