What to expect

Paradise Cycling offers accompanied half-day and full-day rides tailored to the group’s bike type, experience and starting location. Its local programme includes road, gravel, mountain and e-bike riding. Alte is an advertised starting point, while other Algarve locations can be arranged rather than representing separate walk-in branches.

Tell the operator where you are staying, the sort of riding you want and whether you need a bicycle supplied. The business also provides GPX routes and longer self-guided itineraries; these are distinct from riding with a guide. Confirm the meeting point and equipment as part of the reservation, especially when riders in one party have different bikes or fitness levels.

Planning your visit

  • Meeting locations are arranged per booking.
  • State whether bicycle hire is needed.
  • GPX downloads do not include an accompanying guide.
