About the company
Founded in 1990 by Teresa's parents, our company has grown from a family dream into a trusted name in active tourism. After two years travelling the world and experiencing tourism from the guest's perspective, Teresa joined the business in 1999, ready to deliver the kind of experiences travellers truly seek. We pride ourselves on offering high-quality, flexible service. Our greatest asset is our team – a close-knit group who share a passion for creating unforgettable holidays. Every guest is unique, and we strive not only to meet expectations, but to exceed them. We offer self-guided, supported, and fully guided cycling and walking tours. And organize multi adventure holidays as well. Our region is ideal for leisure activities: rolling hills, cork forests, olive groves, castles, and charming whitewashed villages under the bright Alentejo sun. Guests can enjoy each day's ride or hike and relax in historic accommodations – from castles and palaces to convents. Based near Évora, we also run a charming B&B on a farm, with 4 bedrooms and 2 lovely cottages, where guests can enjoy massages in the garden, cooking classes, and our personal attention. We operate throughout Alentejo, the southwest coast, the Algarve, and Serra de Aires e Candeeiros Natural Park. With quality hybrid, gravel and e-bikes, personalized briefings, authentic experiences, and delicious local cuisine, we create holidays that stay with you for a lifetime. We follow a green policy and believe that guiding is also about teaching – raising awareness for more sustainable living.
Regions & tours
Our region is perfect for leisure cycling and walking. We have soft hills which bring variety to the terrain without adding too much effort. We cycle through cork forest and olive groves conquering castles along the way. Hamlets with very white houses shinning in the ever-present sun make the perfect picture. Our guests always mention the great hospitality. With us you can bike or hike during the day and sleep like a king in castles, palaces or convents. We also own a Bed&Breakfast accommodation set in a farm, near Évora, with 4 bedrooms (6 in 2024), where we sell active holidays. With us you can hike and cycle all the Alentejo, inland or along the southwest coast, in the Algarve and in the NP of Serra d' Aires e Candeeiros. Our tours are easy to medium level, and we always do personalized briefing and bike delivery. On guided tours you can count on our expert guides, authentic experiences and local cuisine. We have hybrid bikes and e-bikes. We have set packages but are very happy to adapt to client's needs. If you sleep at our farm you can try a massage in the garden or a cooking class. You will be just by our office, and we will spoil you as much as we can!
