Amazing people! - Mario, Joanna & Fidel the best riding experience ever!
They are so kind, funny, thoughtful and made the entire experience fun. As a first time rider I struggled through... read more the different terrains but they constantly motivated us and the lunches were honestly the best thing to look forward to. Highly recommend the upgrades and the beautiful experience with beautiful Portuguese people. Joanna is a fun, loving and safe driver. Mario is thoughtful and funny. Fidel is the best at motivating and funny stories.
Honestly one of the best holidays I ever had!
I will be keeping in touch with them all and I hope they will visit Australia one day so I can return the beautiful hospitality they extended to us.

09/02/2019I don’t know where to start but what an amazing trip. The landscape was great with cliffs, pine nut tree groves, pomegranate trees, salt marches, and of course great ocean... read more views. The small villages were charming with great people to go along with them. The Pousadas we stayed at were also fantastic. The picnics were great. The best thing however were my two guides Jorge and Mario. Jorge made sure I was fed and hydrated the whole time and Mario made sure I wasn’t getting lost especially since I was ahead of the group. We all had good conversations and most of the time we closed down the restaurants. Such a good group. I feel like I made some friends along the way. I highly recommend doing a week trip like this. It was truly unforgettable!!!! …

Wine, Food and a great Bike Tour - We weren't experienced bikers but a 2 day tour was the perfect mix of activity and decadence. Day 1 was the more intensive biking day with visits to a farm... read more and classic cars, winery, prickly pear farm and a cork factory. We had a van for support when our legs were too tired. Day two was in the city to explore the Medieval streets, eat some great Portuguese food, get a great history lesson and sample some more wines and liquors.
Whether you are often on a bike or looking to get into biking this is one of the best ways to explore Evora and the region.
21/10/2021Exploring Evora on e-Bikes - We had an amazing time exploring the beautiful Alentejo region with Mario on our Cycling in Paradise Tour.
We stayed seven nights at the farmhouse and did five... read more different routes over the week, each with a different theme. We saw and learned so much about the region and about Portugal. It was so relaxing not to have to pack and un-pack in between stops.
We used e-bikes which made the trip so much more relaxing and Mario tailored our days to our interests and our energy levels. We had a couple of really hot days for October so it was nice to not have to pedal so hard going up the hills! We still felt happily tired at the end of the day.
Alentejo has amazing food and wine and we had plenty of both. Some of our most memorable meals were in little local places along the way that we probably never would have found on our own.
We especially enjoyed visiting the historic University in Evora, the cork factory, the prickly pear farm, and the Fitapreta winery.
Mario was an amazing guide and Dina, Joana and the rest of the Turaventur staff made our trip extra special.
