“I did 2 rides with WERIDE - one in Algarve and one in Sintra. The guides are excellent - offered good skills tips, knew the trails very well (they build them) and also lots of info on local tourist sites / ecology etc. I rode mostly intermediate trails - and I found them to be just challenging enough - but we passed by lots of trails that looked more full on enduro, if you are looking to ride some bigger or sketchier stuff. Excellent company to book a tour with.”

“Hi Guys!
Thanks for the email and thank you for having me on this great experience. The organisation, logistic, riding and vibes were on point and I spent a rad week. From what I heard the editors were happy and excited by the product and the riding.
I'll be back around Sintra for sure and I'll let everybody knows that WERIDE.pt are the best guys around! Hats off to SRAM for giving back to the trail!! Looking forward for the next media event or test session with you SRAMies…
Cheers!”

”The one week riding (6 Days) with WERIDE was amazing - everyone did the best to make us enjoy our visit in Sintra.
The communication during booking process with Hugo was very kind and uncomplicated and the guiding by João and Duarte outstanding, truly one of the best shuttled guiding experiences we had so far - with focus on fun, passionate riding and our abilities and skills.
The trails are really good and a great range of variation, a perfect mix of flowy and technical parts with a lot of nice features to play with.
Thanks to everyone at WERIDE - We will be back! Please stay how you are...always go big - but ... don't become too big! “

“WE were a couple looking to spend our holiday biking in Sintra, Portugal. WERIDE were very helpful right from the start to plan our trip as we wished. We spent 3 days riding in a group of about 6-8 people with shuttling. The trails were mixed and the guides were great at walking us through the technical parts before we rode them. There were some technical bits (steep, roots, drops etc.) which I personally found a bit scary, but overall it was good to push myself and further my riding skills. Donkey trail had an amazing view! Would definitely recommend WERIDE. Next time we will head up north as we heard the trails there are also really good. Thank you!”

“I heard about WERIDE from a Pinkbike article and boy did it live up to the hype. I rode in Sintra with guide José and just one other person for the full day. Prior to the ride, they communicated with me thoroughly on my skill level, fitness, timing for the day, and what trails I liked to ride. After answering all of those questions and then getting to ride with them, it was like the tailored the group ride to my exact skill level. I rented a Transition Patrol from WERIDE and it was a solid bike as far as rentals go. We did most of our climbing on dirt roads and then descended an epic diversity of trails, to deep green forests with loamy dirt to fast rocky sections with an ocean view. Both the guide, the other customer and I were about the same skill level, which helped make it feel like just a couple guys going out for a ride. José is incredibly friendly and is fantastic to talk to about all things bikes and Portugal. If you do the full day, know that Sintra has some springs you can get water at but you should bring some snacks. My day in Sintra was one of my favorite days of riding of my life, and would recommend to any biker visiting Lisbon.”

“I spent the weekend riding with Duarte and José from WERIDE. Both were excellent guides who took great care of us and showed us the best riding that the area has to offer. Lots of respect for building and maintaining such a multitude of trails. On a side note, a lot of guiding companies find it difficult to accommodate solo travellers, but this was not a problem for WERIDE. Overall, very highly recommended!”

“WE had an AMAZING experience riding with WERIDE in Northern Portugal!! First of all, our guide, Gomes, was excellent & very helpful. Additionally, the terrain & the views along the route were incredible!! We also had a wonderful customer service experience. Initially, we had been planning on riding earlier in the week, but we had to change our plans because of rain. WERIDE was very accommodating!! I highly recommend WERIDE to anyone who is seeking a serious MTB experience in Portugal!!”

“Three days of epic riding in an amazing, green forest. Perfect winter vacation for a North European!! We managed about half of the trails in three days. and of course tried some of them again and again. Joâo , our guide was THE BEST . Funny, skilled, and had ability to see our levels. We were a nice small group and felt really safe. He also challenged us to make obstacles we might not have done without a guide .”
What WERIDE gave us?
💚 Nature
💚 Nice food in local restaurants
💚 Some of the most playful trails ever ridden.
💚 Sunset riding with a view of the Atlantic ocean

“WE had three awesome days of riding in Sintra, with João and Hugo as our guides. The riding was very good, we had mint conditions everyday since the trails got some rain before WE arrived. Great variation in trails and views, from chocolate-mousse-loam in the forests to superfast-dusty trails in the open. With WERIDE it is all about the lifestyle and the hospitality is outstanding from the guys. Riding with João felt like riding with a buddy you had known for a long time.
I am already looking forward to ride with WERIDE in Portugal again, such a nice country and people!”

Our day of riding really surpassed all expectations and it was all thanks to José. It was such a fun day and he was able to balance things between me and my friend so we had an amazing day with our different riding levels. I can’t wait to come back and spend more time exploring the riding scene here. WERIDE made our day in Sintra one of the highlights of our trip. I am a very passionate mountain biker and I love to see how other people can have the same passion and transfer it to others. - Andres Ruiz
