One of my best biking trips EVER

“Visiting Portugal with my best friend and we decided to bike 2 days in Sintra. Renee found the WERIDE website to be easy to navigate, and they offered great bike rentals as good prices, so we chose WERIDE. Duarte picked us up on time, the bikes were in excellent condition and after ensuring that everyone was comfortable WE started out. Duarte took us to a wonderful, diverse selection of singletrack that was the right level for our group and did a great job of working with each of us, encouraging, sharing technical tips, and teaching us about the local forests. The second day, there were only two of us for the sunset tour, which was a great combination of climbing, single tracks, and sea views. Coming back from a year long knee injury, I had lost my confidence on steep sections and Duarte was absolutely amazing, taking the time to walk me through challenges and build my confidence. Duarte had the patience to ride at our speed so WE could follow his lines. By far my best rental/guide experience! Duarte was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, funny, kind and hospitable! I will definitely be back - thank you WERIDE!!”

Algarve MTB holiday - Local Pack - "The perfect start to the enduro season 2018!"

"The perfect start to the enduro season 2018!
We booked 5 days of riding in advance, around Algarve. Our accommodation (Hotel Faro) in the center of Faro was great (countless bars and restaurants within walking distance).
But above all the riding was superb. Our guide LP showed us not only the most beautiful trails around Algarve, but also gave us an insight into the life and culture of Portugal. "Never skip a dessert for lunch and dinner" (chocolate muse and almond fig cake are highly recommended). It was a joy to try all the specialties of Portuguese cuisine.
I had decided to use my cotic bfe hardtail as the weapon of action. After five days of riding, I can record that everything is possible on this trails. The bike was very playful and super fast while accelerating out of the curves. But for the rough stuff (and there's quite a few) my hands and butt would have been very grateful for a rear suspension.

I had an amazing time in Algarve and there will be a second time for sure. Thanks to the team of WERIDE especially to LP!"

"WE booked a holiday pack (LOCAL PACK) with 5 days of riding in advance. All in all WE stayed 7 nights in a great hotel (Hotel Faro, 4 stars) with a rooftop pool in Algarve. Unfortunately the temperatures were still too cold to jump into the pool. WE had temperatures reaching from 5°C to 14°C. Our guide told us, it was one of the coldest winters here he´d ever experienced. 
It was great to have a guide with us who knew the area, so WE didn´t have to look up the routs ourselfs. It was less stressful that way. In addition to that, he recommended good places to eat and had a lot of great information about the people, culture and area of Algarve to share.
WE had an amazing time in Algarve and it is worth a visit.

Thanks LP for guiding us!"
